Stressed and blessed!!!

I have had 2 of the most stressful/anxiety ridden days I have had in a long while...I think your body just decides sometimes to shut down...I know Wendy must really be feeling stressed too...I didn't even know till after 4pm that she had to go back to the ER today...Whew we are falling apart left and right...

I got worked in today because I just felt bad, bad, bad...The Nurse practitioner was really sweet, different than the one I saw last time...She told me Vicky we are committed to help you...Then she brought in the Dr who listened and asked many questions...He explained in details all of my blood work and what it meant and what he felt was going on...He asked about my children, my grandchildren, my son in laws, my x husband, my parents, my siblings, my friends, my church family...He wasn't in a hurry, he was very caring, patient and intent on what I had to say...Toward the end he said do you pray? I said yes I do every day and I have several times today...He said well then I want quote the scripture to you...I said the one that says all things work for good...He said no the one that says he won't allow more upon us than we are able to bear...I said well I am looking for an escape please Lord...He then asked me "Would you mind if we prayed with you?"...I am like this is a first and I said I don't mind at all...He gently took firm hold of my hand and the nurse took the other and he prayed the most gentle, sincere, reverent and caring prayer for me...It was obvious his genuine concern because he rehearsed each concern I had just told him back to God in details that only someone who truly listened and cared would do...It was beyond words...If you would like to know exactly what he said you will have to call me, because it was so personal, I don't want to share it here...Just know I was amazed at the prayer...He ended the prayer in the mighty name of Jesus...When we said amen, I said well in all my 48 years I have never had a Dr ask to pray for me...I am so glad that even when you are so sick and have prayed and got prayed for and you need medical attention that there are men and women who are calling on the Great Physician to help them care for people just like the Good Samaritan...I felt better just knowing I had a Dr who calls on Jesus for his patients and asks God to help guide the proper care for me...I couldn't have ask for anything better other than complete healing...I believe God still moves in mysterious ways, HIS WONDERS TO PERFORM!!!!!

WOW, I've been seeing the same Dr. for 7 years and he's NEVER prayed for me or with me!! As a matter of fact, i had an appointment today for 9:15am and I didn't see the Dr. until 11:55, YES i set in the room waiting on him to come see me for that long! I hated to have to wait all that time, but he REALLY is a GOOD Dr. He went over all my test results with me. He even let me know that my cholesterol was a little high! He said he was gonna draw my blood again to recheck it! He takes the time to listen to me and he ALWAYS answers ALL my questions and believe you me I always have ALOT of those! He doesn't rush like most of them do!
I went to a Dr. one time before i starting seeing my Dr. now and i was in and out of his office within 30 minutes, that's no lie! I said" I WILL NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN NOR WILL I TELL ANYONE ELSE TO COME HERE" The Dr. I have now is the one that found the small pin whole in my spin and a few other things. He took the time to run the test I needed and then he would thoroughly go over each of them with me!
It's VERY VERY hard to find a GREAT Dr. these days and I'm thankful for mine every time i visit him!! It's nice to know he actually cares about his patients and isn't just doing it for the "money"!!
