Short and sweet? Here it is: Medicine today is amazing. You can have a heart that is only working at 20% efficiency, take a team of doctors who are good at their jobs, a hospital that has the facilities to perform procedures like stopping the heart and starting it all over again, and a little thing like a Life Vest that contains a defibrillator in case that heart were to stop suddenly. Then add in about 2 months' time. Add them all together and at the end of that 2 months what do you have? Don't guess, I'll tell you. You have a heart that is working at a miraculous 48%. Some might say that's not enough...but the heart muscle in question only works at 50% when it's at optimum. And that, folks, is why we are celebrating here at Pieceful Harbor! Mr. Wonderful is no longer required to wear an electronic life vest, nor is he carrying around a 3 pound 'brick' attached to his waist. I no longer sleep lightly, waking to make sure I can hear him breathing on the other side of the bed. His heart has repaired itself to a level that have his team of doctors heaving a sigh of relief, I'm sure.
Anything else I might tell you this week palls, really, doesn't it? So I will leave you with this beautiful picture of a Red Peony that we planted last spring in the hopes that it would bloom this year....Huzzah!
Thanks for stopping by.
