    Hi Sandra. I just wanted to say I recently watched your video of 1 year ago where you talked about the things you miss as a widow. How wonderful that you and Mr. Bill now have such a happy life together. I saw the difference, the happiness in your face in the newer videos and the difference that new love can make is wonderful. Blessings to you and Mr. Bill and I hope you will both be together for many many beautiful years to come. I still, thank God, that I have my husband of 48 years with me and I dread the thoughts of us being separated. I often pray that we will somehow go together. We have no children and down the years have become so close we are almost like one person. Anyways, God bless you and all who watch and comment here.

      Just make peace with what you can’t change or control, remember, God is in control he loves you. He’s already taken care of your future no matter what happens he’ll always be with you and work things out. Just enjoy your life every day. Don’t waste it worrying about what’s gonna happen in the future, I know that’s easier said than done, but we need to strive to do that, God bless you!💕

    I’m glad the HIDA test was tolerable for you. I had some sort of test x-ray similar, but I can’t remember why. I don’t think it was a HIDA, but I was wrapped in a sheet to hold my arms tight to my body. I get claustrophobic and after a while I wiggled out of the sheet. The technician saw me and said it was ok at that time. Thank goodness because I certainly didn’t want to repeat the test. I’ve had a lot of tests and had back surgery just recently. I’m still recovering. With that I couldn’t take an MRI because of my claustrophobia so the surgeon opted for a different test where they injected dye in my spinal column and take x-rays. I am a nervous patient, but I did it. Love and Kindness, Teresa

    I am scheduled for one May 24th. I have severe COPD, and compression fractures in my thoracic spine. I don't think I am going to be able to lay flat for 2 hrs on those hard tables. I require 2 pillows to elevate my head (which I assume they will have 2 pillows, but I am bringing my bolster pillow to support my head.) I've already told the technician that I can't promise them I can endure 2 full hours laying flat on my back because of my breathing and my back pain. I'll give it my best shot, but I've got my doubts. I was told I can't take my pain medicine before hand because it causes a false reading in the report. I dread this whole thing.

    Hello Sandra, you had a full day at the Cumberland Center. We tend to fear the unkown but you came out of it so well. TY for sharing ur experience. As of the last three months I have been struggling with some disturbing symptoms that lead me to think it might be gall bladder related. My stomach feels distended, bloated, burping, belching, etc. At the ER two weeks ago, they ran a CT Scan but nothing was detected. My husband lost his job of 15 years in Sept and we have no health insurance now. Plz pray for David n Lina. I dont want to give in to fear. Yehovah is with us. ❤

    Once I had to do a liver test and No Food/ Drink after midnight. When I walked in the lab tech asked if I was chewing gum. I thought…… uh oh. My mouth was so parched I had to do something so I popped a piece of gum in my mouth in the car. THEY WOULDN’T do the test. Wahhhhhhh. 😭. So I learned my lesson. Glad you had the test done!!! Feels great when it is over, right???❤️

      @@Sandrabrownhappinesspast60 not yet thanks for asking.. I had to call that dr back yesterday to get him to get the orders sent to this gastroenterologist he referred me too on the 14, and now were at the 21st and I finally got an appointment yesterday with them to get in as a new patient on Friday.. He can't even see me until March.. so I have to get in with a nurse practitioner just to become a patient then they can order the scan I think its ridiculous I was in so much pain today now my intestines are involved I almost went to the hospital but it subsided I'm trying my best not to have go there. that's the last place I want to be.. but I might end up there if this dr doesn't get on the ball.. I'm praying its nothing serious, I already had a serious operation in 2002 they had all my intestines colon and bowls on top of me cut parts out from a serious infection because my appendix burst that was so bad I almost died with peritonitis.. the infection was eating away at my body for almost a year before I realized it was that serious I thought it was a cyst on my ovary and I kept blowing if off because I couldn't take off work.. so when i took my vacation I went to the hospital and they did a scan and were prepping me for emergency surgery.. I'm praying its nothing serious .. I don't know what's going on yet.. I assume they will order the scan on Friday but I don't know when they will schedule.. I will give an update once I know more..
