When I wrote last Monday\u2019s Morning Manna about Thanksgiving, I did not know about the Monday afternoon phone call.\u00a0 The Nurse on the other end of the line said, \u201cWe need to talk with you about your surgical procedure scheduled for in the morning at 7am.\u201d\u00a0 What? Back in the summer, when I first began scoring high on some heart tests, I visited with a Cardiologist, and he mentioned an Angiogram as a possibility in the future. and we even set a possible date for it.\u00a0 Then my wife, Joanne had a spell with her heart on one of our Rio Grande Valley trips, followed by her Brownwood Ambulance ride and hours spent in the Hospital ER, with the AFib diagnosis.\u00a0 At that point I told my Cardiologist to cancel all my procedures, and let\u2019s get Joanne straightened out. Well, Joanne\u2019s heart returned to proper rhythm, and at the last meeting with our Cardiologist, I told him. now that she was OK, let\u2019s get back to me.\u00a0 Then came the surprise phone call.\u00a0 So, I\u2019ve now had the Angiogram.\u00a0 No artery was found to have the minimum 70% blockage required for further attention.\u00a0 No stints were needed or installed.\u00a0 Powerful prescription medication was begun, with very uncomfortable side effects, but I\u2019m\u00a0 on the way back to health, as is Joanne.\u00a0 In fact, I told God just the other day, \u201cYou have put gladness in my heart\u201d (Psalm 4:7).<\/p>\n
