Health Challenge 2021 From Darkness To Light Grumpy found a way make it known in that he was REALLY glad be out his his body. There are times when I have felt the same way but Mrs. Joe gave me Ezekiel 16:6 and Modern Medicine indicates otherwise. I am fated stay on this side longer because there is work for do. The United States is a mess. Circumstance have put me in a place where I can make a difference. April Fools Day 2017, I was hospitalized for Internal bleeding with a Hemoglobin count of 4. 7 is considered critical. It was so much fun (yeah right) being in ICU while prepping for a colonoscopy and a upper GI endoscopy. The diagnosis was acute gastritis, hiatal hernia, and diverticulitis which I already knew. Xarelto aka blood thinner was named the culprit. So last month 2021, it got worse, much worse - I was not stable enough to drive for days but finally made it the ER on Day . I was vomiting blood and the doctor opted to insert an NG Tube. If they ever do that again, we will be talking palliative care. What a torturous device. I got into a very dark place. I was projecting that being tortured for the rest of my life. I remember crying and feeling absolutely hopeless. This is what Grumpy must have felt like, Treat, Treat, Treat prolonging death with a tortured life. I was projecting the worse case scenario. The next day, I was surgery for another upper GI endoscopy when I woke up that obnoxious NG Tube was gone. The doctor told me that I was to be transferred to a bigger hospital in Charleston for emergency surgery. I remember Grumpy being transferred to Charlottesville by helicopter and he never got better and eventually died anyway. The next day, I was able to attend my Quaker Meeting via Zoom from a hospital bed in a hospital grown. What a blessing it was to be with my spiritual community at a time when I really needed them. There were times when I felt waves of warmth going through my body. Someone was praying for me. I was in the ambulance watch the winter wonderland scenery outside the window. Suddenly, I started literal hearing a choir singing "Silent Night" I seldom remember a song verbatim but this song was perfection. I listened to the song and watched the scenery thinking this must be what the journey to death must be like and maybe that is where I am headed and I am okay with it. Healing happens on both sides. I arrived at the hospital in Charleston projecting the worse. More torture. It wasn't quite that bad. I had a roommate who watched television 24/7 on marathon murder mysteries. It was not the thing I really wanted to hear when facing major surgery. I was finally transferred to the surgical ward with my own room. Nice!!!! It was a whole different energy from the rest of the wee I went surgery. The hiatal hernia was pushing the stomach into the chest area. The surgeon put it back into place. I came out feeling like I was kicked by a but now I am home. The Bible says fasting breaks the devil's bac I have been on an involuntary 7 day fast. I hope that devil is good and pissed. I hope he enjoys a well deserves azzzzz kicking along with his DC Swamp buddies. (I don't care what party they affiliated themselves with) God has given more time on this earth and I am going help make it happen.  Abracadabra  |

When that Choir started singing Silent Night there came a time when I wanted to say "STOP!!!" You guys sing pretty however............. I got on my cell phone and started playing "Scandal and Shame in the Family" This is a song that any genealogist who plays with DNA would love. I was able to laugh and it silenced the Holy Choir. Later on, I found out that YaYa told to change the song. Abracadabra

Speaking from personal experience, I can attest that strange things can happen in that place between life in the body and life out of it. I chuckled at your recounting of the song you heard.... I'm sure it brought peace, but also your response to it was what I would consider "typically Star". Of course, I also believe you were covered in prayers, and I praise God that you are on the road to recovery so you can be about the things you are meant to be doing. You go, gal. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Star, delighted to see you are well on the road to recovery. Sounds like you have been through a rough old time. I see you still managed to maintain your sense of humour through it all, good for you.  Sending healing thoughts and prayers your way.
