Greatful
In some of my posts I have eluded to two illness I experienced in the past 3 years. In visiting a site for older women the memories of the past came up and I want to share what God did to save my life 2 different times and in different ways. The first illness began in June of 2004. It began as a yeast infection, but through the wrong medicine it turned into a bacterial infection that had gone into my blood stream. In a chance conversation with a friend who had gone through similar circumstance she told me that the yeast infection has the same symptoms of a vaginal problem. Through that conversation I found a different Dr. who would listen to me he did diagnose the problem correctly and with the right medication my life was saved. God was in the conversation with the friend and with the Dr. all the way of the healing process which took about six months. The second illness was just last year and began in April. Again, I went to my regular Dr. and was misdiagnosed. In July I had an appointment with the Dr. who was monitoring the first illness and when he walked in the room he became very concerned about symptoms he saw. In the examination I was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure. He told me he was not a heart Dr., but knew that I needed water pills immediately. He sent my husband to the Drug Store and I had to start taking them before he would let me leave the hospital. What wonder pills. God in His wisdom had someone invent them. It took 4 months to get all the water out of my body, with a loss of about 80 lbs. and I became a different woman. God did it again in saving my life. Now when anyone asks "How are you doing" I say fanatically well. How can I say anything else. Yes, I am in the best health I have been in for a number of years. Now I am heart, yeast, sugar, and salt healthy. God is so good.
