An ER scare for the abitadeacon

All is well this Sunday afternoon after I took a trip to the ER today.  I suffered a very unpleasant bout with A-fib this morning that resulted in a trip to the ER instead of assisting at Mass.  This condition is not new to me but has flared up more often and with more intensity of late.  Turns out the condition corrected itself this morning before I arrived at the hospital and all the tests run were normal.  To their credit, the staff at Lakeside Hospital ran a battery of tests to make sure this incident had nothing to do with any post-operative complications.


With much thankfulness, I am now home, in good shape and a new medication protocol.  I have been advised to take the rest of this Sunday easy and to get to my cardiologist as soon as possible.  This will probably result in another full cardiac work-up.


In an unselfish act of pure generosity, my Pastor, Fr. Rodney Bourg, showed up at the hospital and visited with both me and Wendy, offering encouragement as he offered the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick.  What a nice act of kindness and spiritual significance.  I guess this is my Sacrament for this Sunday!


Seems like I've been asking you for more prayers lately than offering them for all of you.  Believe me, I feel each prayer and trust that God's will is appeased by each and every one of them.  Feel free to keep them coming!


And I'll be back at it in no time!
