A Road Less Travelled

I didn’t post a Thankful post yesterday. You might have noticed. The reason I didn’t post is that my day rather changed and became very different than I expected it to be. Instead of getting angry about this I am choosing to be thankful for it because even this came from my All-Gracious Father.

Yesterday we get a phone call. Actually, the Lansberrys got the phone call and I happened to be there at the time. “Kathey Thomas has activated her pendant.”  I had no idea what they were talking about, but Moriah said it was the button Kathey wears around her neck and that she would push it if she fell down and it would call this service and they would call us. I grabbed my keys and left. Kathey had fallen answering the door and actually fell out the door, but she managed to crawl back inside. The service called the paramedics and when they got there they found that Kathey was bleeding so they got her up and into the ambulance to go to the hospital. Five and a half hours later we left the hospital. During the five and a half hours they found that Kathey cut her foot really badly and that they didn’t know why she suddenly got weak and fell. She was discharged and we left.

This was not how I wanted my day to go. I was at the Lansberry’s being all helpful because I was trying to convince Theresa that ‘take it easy’ does not mean light housework it means no housework. But God sent my way exactly what He wanted me to do and so I say thank you. And I also say thank you for Amy, our nurse. She was wonderful to have around. I never had to nag her to get anything and she was like a breath of unsterilized air when she walked into the room. For all these things and more may I be ever thankful.
