MEDICAL REPORT
By OLIVENE GODFREY
When son Barry and I arrived at the blood specialist's office the first of this week, the nurse took us almost immediately and she took my blood pressure and temp and did a blood count. Shortly the doctor came in our room and he had my file in his hand and he looked puzzled as he gave us the news. He couldn't find anything wrong with the many blood tests he had done. And the blood the nurse had taken showed that my anemia was better than it had been the previous week. He seemed stunned. Then Barry reminded him that I was still taking iron pills and he also mentioned that the really bad cold I had when my family doctor had done blood-work and checked on my COPD may have affected the tests. That was probably how I was when the doctor took an x-ray recently. The blood doctor told me to continue taking the iron pills and to come back in a month and if all was well, he would dismiss me. Then, few days later my family doctor's nurse called and said the doctor wanted to re-check me and make another x-ray whenever I could make an appointment.
On the way home, Barry and I discussed all of this and I told him a lot of people had been praying for me. And Barry agreed with me that prayers can bring about miracles. We think now it is the COPD that is causing my fatigue. I don't know if that can be helped.
The rep from the alert system came out to the house and installed the new system with the smart telephone with large numbers and I can hear the callers now. I feel better for the instant help in an emergency I have now. I am wearing the pendant all the time and can even be worn in the shower. I have been afraid to take a shower unless Barry is at home.
Thanks for your prayers. They may have indeed brought us a miracle.
See you next time.
