Bev's Story
In my last (in AprilI think) bio I started out by saying that the yr. so far had been a challenge.
Little did I know how much more of a challenge it became.
To make a long and very complicated story short....
We moved back to the Woodburn area in Dec. in order for my husband to be closer to his drs (in Portland/Hillsboro). that we trusted. The Dr.s in WA (with what I can only assume had good intentions) pretty much caused more harm than good. A 3rd open heart surgery, 23 units of blood and a 68 pd. weight loss, 42 days in the hosp. later.......he's home and doing really well in recovery.
I apparently have some post cancer issues that I am waiting to hear about.
Not to make light of anyone's problems or struggles, albeit financial or health... but I want to be very clear on this subject......
Always listen to your own body and always question your drs....just because the...Expand for more
y are "specialists" never assume they know everything. One Hemo/Oncologist told us that "it's going to take someone smarter than me to figure this one out". Did we feel confident in him....NO!! Very scary...
There are days when I think Chicken Little was right...the sky is falling, but I know in my heart that God must not be done with us yet and that he's got some pretty awesome plans for us or all of this garbage in the last yr. would not have happened. For all of you who are skeptics......how is your world these days??
Sometimes, you have to go through the fire and feel the heat or you will never be able to appreciate the coolness and the calm.
Be thankful for the good stuff in your life and know that you can do without sooooo much and that it's true...if you have your health, you do have everything. You can never buy your life back.
Take good care
