A Sunday to Forget. (You can add Monday & Tuesday too.)

While everything seemed normal, I was about to experience a TIA.

Before October 26th, I didn’t even know what a TIA was.

I had helped to park the final set of cars after our third service began.
It was somewhere around High Noon.

I bent over to talk with a child exiting with his family from the Little Praisers, and when I got up everything was spinning.

Then I noticed that my left eye was burning …. Nothing was in focus.

Greg & Chris were there and had me sit down. Greg gave me a bottle of water. Between my slurred speech and my inability to move the bottle to the table, they decided to get me to the hospital.

Jan was called from the auditorium and met us at the car not knowing what was happening.

The next things get really fuzzy, here’s all I remember:
1. I saw someone at the front desk of the hospital and I knew that I was looking up from a wheel chair.
2. I was aware of many people in blue uniforms disrobing me.
FYI:I would have normally put up some resistance to that.
3. I was aware of family members around this make shift bed praying for me.
4. I was in a room with someone on the other side of the curtain and there were 2 TV’s in the room – diagonal from each other.

Here’s the rest of the story: (Play Beautiful Morning from HPC here)
- Around 8:00 PM I was awake and wondering where I was.
- Soon Jan and my family arrived and were amazed that I could talk and sit up in bed.
- By Monday I was ready to go home.
- They kept me until Tuesday and my only after effect was still my double vision.
- Today, Friday the 7th of November I am seeing at least 98% of my normal vision. PTL.
- I am back to normal except that Jan is feeding me Styrofoam and Cardboard.
So, don’t quit praying… I really miss Famous Daves BBQ!
