Blessings!!

Okay... Blessings come in the darndest ways!! A lot of you know that my mother had a heart attack. Well I have known for some time that I too have high cholesterol. I decided to go to the doctor to have things checked out because I WAS NOT going to have a heart attack. Well... My MANY doctors appointments didn't go so well. Last week I was diagnosed with Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, increased heart rate, and I am severely anemic. After my labs came in I got a call from the doctor wanting to do IV iron because I was so anemic. I agreed and made the appointment the next day. I had to go over to the county health department for a mandatory sexual harassment meeting the next morning... so I made the appointment for later that day. I had this nagging feeling all day that I needed to cancel my appointment, but I talked myself out of it and decided I needed to take better care of my body and just go. Well...The nurse started the IV and about 20 min into the therapy. I broke out in hives all over my body. I looked like bubble wrap!! I was so anxious I just started to cry. After getting all the fun medications to stop the reaction, I left the office and called my dad. He always makes me feel better!! Anyway a long story short. If my mother hadn't had her heart attack, I would not have gone into the doctor and I wouldn't know all the fun stuff about me right now, that eventually will safe my life. I feel that I have been blessed!!
