Betty

I talked with my dear friend Betty tonight.

A few weeks ago she was in the hospital with a heart problem.  A nurse checked on her and saw that Betty's heart rate was rapidly going from 41 beats per minute to 30 beats per minute. Her heart would soon stop.

 Within moments a gurney took her to surgery where a pacemaker was placed in her heart.  She is alive today, thanks to God and caring, watchful hospital staff.

Buffy the Kitten - My Nurse

In 1968, due to orthopedic surgery, I was completely bed-ridden for two months so was allowed to adopt a kitten!

Since a friend's cat had kittens I chose an orange kitten named Buffy to be my companion, actually Buffy chose me! As soon as I sat on my friend's floor to inspect the kittens, Buffy, an nine week old crawled right into my lap and would not leave. So actually Buffy chose me!

Buffy had an uncanny sense about my needs for he stayed by my side 24 hours a day. Every morning, at exactly 7:00 a.m., he would awaken me by first meowing, then by sitting on my stomach, then by sitting on my chest, then by patting my nose, and finally by sitting on my face! Quickly I learned to wake up before this last step!

God was so good and kind to give me such a loving companion!

Breast Cancer Miracle

On February 7th, 2005 I felt several large lumps on both breasts. On February 11th my physician confirmed the lumps and found smaller ones on each side. A February 16th appointment was made at the hospital for a mammogram and ultrasound, with a surgeon standing by for biopsy. I had known women who died from breast cancer. Was I to be another statistic?

Between February 11th and 16th I put my life in order by phoning or writing family and friends to put everything “right” between us. Then I rededicated my life to God, asking forgiveness of all my sins. I told God if it was His will for me to die, it was okay as long as I was “right” with Him. I asked for God’s healing in my life, I read the Bible, I prayed earnestly, I did all these things, but the lumps were still there.

On February 16, mammogram day, I awoke at 5:30 am and watched the sun rise. “What would this day bring,” I pondered. I prayed to God to be near, really near. At the hospital I changed into the gown and felt my breasts, and, yes, the lumps were still there.

The mammogram was over and so was the ultrasound. I now awaited the surgeon’s decision of whether or not to do my biopsy. I could hear him talking fast and loud about my case. He was scaring me! What was he saying? “Why was she brought in? She has no lumps of any size in her breasts! They are completely clear!”

God worked a miracle! I have been lump free for eleven years!
