sorry I missed out on a few days, when I did my last blog so I have gone back to the 19th May. I have an appointment with my Specialist Physician today.
I was so ill yesterday - my diastolic blood pressure which is usually in the nineties suddenly dropped to the low sixties. Very nauseous and even had a spell of vomiting. I put it down to the medication I took for gout, which normally I try to avoid, but the pain became so unbearable, I really didn't have an option. On top of this I also took a painkiller, wrong move.
My G.P. had told Ruth on the phone, to get an ambulance and get me to hospital asap as my heart could stop beating at any moment. I also suffer from AFIB (Atrial Fibrillation) and my pulse was more abnormal than usual.
Ruth tried her best to get me to go, but I was adamant - no hospital for me - also I would miss my Specialist Physician appointment for which I had already waited six months. I knew that God is in control and He wasn't showing me to go to hospital.

On the way to Specialist, Ruth called on at the church for funds needed to bake two chocolate cakes for them for Sunday. Wonderful surprise,. she was given another box of groceries and R200 for diesel. God our Father really does take good care of us. We praise and thank Him.
Spent three and a half hours at doctor's consulting rooms in medical centre. Blood tests, lung function tests, etc.
We went to the wrong section of the building for the blood tests and Ruth asked an elderly lady whether I could sit on the empty seat between her and a schoolboy with whom she was in conversation. She nodded but made no move to accommodate me. I felt that I could not force the issue. It was as though an invisible hand held me back. So I resorted to unpacking the basket seat of my walker in order to sit down and when I looked again the "empty" seat was now occupied by a schoolgirl who had laid hands on the elderly lady and was praying for her.
There was a small group of other school children standing close to them and in an instant I realized that this prayer meeting had been pre-arranged, and we had almost spoiled it for them. It really warmed my heart to see how involved God is with His children.
