WE MUST NEVER FORGET

Today I saw an eagle,
With a teardrop in his eye.
It literally took by breath away
To see an eagle cry.
I asked him, What’s the matter?
And he told me what he saw.
A cowardly attack was made,
On the towers that once stood tall.
He said everything he stood for,
Had taken a shocking blow.
So he had to take a moment,
To let his own emotions show.
Then he proudly told me,
That our Nation would survive.
That our Liberty and Freedom,
He’d be sure to keep alive.
He said for us not to be afraid,
To stand together, not apart.
For a terrorist has succeeded,
If he puts fear within our hearts.

This describes Monday August 1st and 3rd. Friday the First as I was getting ready to stand up from my shower seat I slipped off of it and into the bathtub and need help getting up.so I used the Waterproof bathtub button.

Sunday the Third I woke up to not feelin good checked my Blood Pressure it was high so I called my backup health provider WellBe Senior Medical that I get through Med Mutual.the oncall nurse said that he wanted to have their Medic come and do a heart scan,the medic called and said I’ll be there in an hour I told her that I activated my Life Alert button that I wear on my neck,because I was feeling dizzy and nauseated and felt like I was going to pass out.she asked do you need EMS I said yes and that life alert had contacted Cleveland EMS. that’s when she (The Medic said she would let the take of me) when EMS is called the Cleveland Fire Dept also responds. Life Alert said they were on the way. and than I passed out I don’t know how long I was out the Paramedic said I was trying to wake you for 20 seconds. the hooked up a monitor did not like what they saw and said you are going. and when I got there the did their own EKG and said I was staying overnight for obervation.
Monday rolls around the Echocardigram that was ordered was done. the Cardiologist that I saw said that they are increasing my Metoprolol from 100 MG to 150 MG and I have to wear a heart monitor for a month. My high school pal Jim was kind enough to come pick me up and drive me home.I got home around 4:00 PM we sat and visited for about a half an hour than he went home,and than I fixed my dinner. I was so tired by 6 Pm that I just took my nightime meds and went to bed,I slept 13 hours without getting up to the bathroom. when I did wake up that was the second thing I had to do,First one was Thank God for the good sleep I got and for waking up up today.
I start my day and end my day by saying Thank You God for waking me up in the morning and for the day that I had.
