Lisa and Mark fanned me and tried their best to get vital signs etc.  The last thing I remember is Lisa putting me into the truck with Mark and telling me she would pray for me.  Mark asked for me to be sedated so he could get me to the ER in Murfreesboro. That is exactly what was done and we were on our way.  I didn't have a clue.

Mark told me to get out and stand by a pole, so I did. (God) He had to park the car!  Normally that would have not happened!  He pulled away and I just.stood.there.!?  We sat down in the ER waiting room and I asked him where are we?!  We were quickly taken to a room.  I could not keep up with the nurse, I had to pull over against the wall several times.  I finally made it to the room and a flurry of activity began. (God)  I am not sure what I thought at this time, maybe a kidney stone but probably something seriously wrong with me.  I remained calmed though. (God)    I was whisked away for a CAT scan and knew something was up by the look on the technician's face when he was pulling me out of the machine.  However, I knew he couldn't say anything so I didn't ask.  When I made it back to the room I had several people looking at me.  Mark sitting by my side. (God)  My new friend began talking, "you do have a large kidney stone but it is not the problem, you have diverticulitis which is the problem and large cysts on your ovaries and a small spot on your left lung".  We will more than likely take you to the OR to repair your intestines and you will have a colostomy.  I said I don't want that, which he replied death or a bag your call.  I looked at Mark and he looked at me and at that moment I thought we had waited too late for the motor home.   I'm not sure why (God)but the surgeon decided to try several cocktails of antibiotics before the OR.  All night Thursday night it was one bag after another of meds plus  pain meds every three hours.  Friday he still was leaning toward surgery but hesitated. (God) Saturday he said I was out of the "surgery woods" this time.  And at that moment I had to tell him God brought me to him.
