If you hear I did this Nancy I hope it's ok, but we here at the forum have great power when it comes to prayer. SO...my fellow prayer warriors, would you take some time to pray for Nancy Houghton of Woodstock Miniatures in Nevin Minn.
I have enclosed her email recieved this morning.
********************************************************************
Know most of you knew that I was having a stress test, as I have unable
to walk for the last couple months, can only take a few steps and have
to stop and rest, so had a stress test and it , as I expected, showed
another blockage in my arteries. I already have 5 stents in my heart.
They are going to go an angiogram and at the same time put dye in my
legs and see what the problem is with my legs. If they can fix me up
with another stent, will just be on overnight thing and would be able
to
come home the next day, with recupe time of a month and IF I have to
have OPEN HEART SURGERY (PLEASE GOD , NO!!) they would schedule it for
2
weeks after the angiogram so I could recovery from that. SO have not
scheduled it yet, as have been MADLY trying to get my POOR DEAR Mom on
medical assistance, as she would have to go to a nursing home while I
am
recuperating and she has no money, so guess we would be responsible for
the $5,000 and upwards per month in the nursing home, So have been
working on that all day, plus have been trying to find someone that
could come in and do chores and feed horses, dogs and cats while I am
gone, Surgery will be done in Fargo, two hours away, so Mike would have
to stay overnight with me, and drive me back the next day. SO am trying
to get the PLANING DONE and then can schedule my test. The doctor said
DO NOT wait to long as I am a good candidate for a heart attack, so
have
to get in soon, but MOM is of prime importance and have to get her
situated in a rest home first. I told Mom today about that I would have
to have surgery, and she woke up long enough to understand me, and said
"But Nancy, I won't be there to hold your hand" Needless to say it
brought tears running down my face SHe is in SEVERE pain now, and is
taking mutiple pain meds, but just not controling the severe pain. PLUS
our blessed dear old dog who we have had with us for 16 years is dying
on us, and we are TRYING to make the decision to have her put down and
neither Mike or I can face it, so are trying to deal with that too. So
just wanted to update everyone and wish I could have written to you
all,
but just sooo rushed, will let you all know of the exact dates whe it
is
scheduled so you all can keep me in your prayers. They are NEEDED to
say
the least. Thanks to all of you for being my dear friends and for
caring. Nancy and Mike Woodstock North
