Life in perspective
I had a scare yesterday. The doctor told me I might have a blood clot. That it could dislodge at any moment and I would be with Jesus (his words were "you will drop dead")
It's interesting what you think of when you realize you might die.
1. I don't want to leave my boys, or Charlie
2. I DO NOT want to be buried in Cochran Georgia!
3. I hope Charlie would remarry.
4. I want to see my boys grow up
5. Can they make you look thin in a casket? (really)
6. So much more went through my head......too much to write here
So this morning I had a Deep Vein Ultrasound. I have had ultrasounds before. Some were great....when I was pregnant with TJ and Ben. Some were emotional torture, When we lost Nehemiah........this one however was PAINFUL....hurt like the dickens. I cried the whole time they did it.
So........they let me leave which I have to think means there was no blood clot. I don't think they would let me out of the hospital walking around with a clot in my leg.
But it has given me perspective.

Wow. I am so glad that all is well. Your 3 boys need you for a lot longer!!
Thanks Jackie for your sweet note on my blog. Even if #2 isn't about me, I know I need to work on forgiveness. It has been a life long struggle. Maybe I have the capacity to forgive, but I never forget, and my trust gets dinged up in the process, so things are never the same. Oh well. It's a learning process. Kev, the kids and I do need the prayers. The ex is up to some mighty crazy stuff. I'll update you if we can go to the beach. Did you catch that IF? That's part of the problem.
Love,
Heather
Whoa! That would be VERY scary! Hope all is well now though!
Loved the "first thoughts"...especially not being buried in a certain spot...reminds me of something my mom would think of first thing! =P
