Was I in a time machine ?

I had the MRI today, and what a trip that was. I've had an MRI on my knee before but laying on my stomach with the Ta-Ta's in two holes, with my arms stretched out over my head, felt like and sounded like I was going to another world. There was NOTHING that felt familiar about that experience. I've been off of some of my "fibromyalgia" meds, since I will be having surgery, and I don't move very fast these days. Well, when the test was over the tech said you can jump up when you are ready. I thought, "Do you see any part of me that looks like I can move any faster than a snail?? I needed an oil can to move after being in that contraption. I'm just glad it's over !!! ...... Now for the part that told me I had GOD right there with me, and all of you wishing me well.... when I got in the car my favorite song, "What a wonderful world" was on the radio. For the first time the tears came, ... not a boo-hoo but a few tears of knowing I was being taken care of.
Tomorrow is Ricks 55th birthday. He was moved to a room today. He is still a long way from recovery. We are not sure that he is out of danger of facing another surgery. I'm asking each of you to pray for Rick's healing, patience, and strength. He has not been out of the bed in a week and he is very weak.
Next adventure is at 8 a.m. on Friday morning. I see Dr. Lytle Brown to make the plan for my surgery. It will depend on my MRI report, but if nothing else shows up it will certainly make my decision much easier. I will keep you posted..... as soon as I know what the heck is going on.
