A family member died 14 years ago this week. She was 49 years. She earlier had a colonoscopy and the Doctor was marking potential polyps by tattooing them. I did not before then know that they did that. In the process, her colon was perforated. As well, she had a serious allergic reaction to the tattoo ink. It was a nightmare. So things can and do happen. It was really though, not what killed her, the Cancer did.

Funny, I had a Patient few years ago who needed heart surgery. English was not her first language. She desperately needed cardiac surgery but she was afraid. She would not listen to anyone, Doctors, Nurses, social workers, none. I had actual reason to be in her room. My French is not as good as it was long ago, but we managed to chat a bit. I talked with her about my surgery. I showed her my surgical scars. Scarred, sort of, but there I was working years later. Mine was not CABG, but valve work, resulting from a childhood illness.

She after spoke with the Cardiologist and agreed to the surgery. That guy had no idea about my history, but he was all smiles at me after he realized what I had done for his Patient. He had seen me around plenty, but we never chatted.

Point is, sometimes just the right words can make a difference. I found them on that day. Life is worth every breath. God put the breath inside of us. We are entitled to every single breath that we can grab. The word respiration is derived from ‘spiritos’ the Greeks gave us that word, God provided the Spirit. Here is to you finding the words. Maybe an Angel will help.

My only question when I had mine was the probability of puncturing the intestine. He said that while it did happen, it was extremely rare. I didn’t have any polyps, so nothing had to be done.

I have tried to tell him all of that, but he still refuses. He finally admitted that he doesn’t want to know if he has cancer or any other problem. He said that even if he does, he doesn’t want it treated. That’s what I meant about giving up.

Thanks for the well wishes.

I finally viewed the film ‘Died Suddenly.’ It was I believe released yesterday and millions have since watched it. It has totally gone viral.

Much of it I am familiar with as I already as saw a lot of the items from it, even weeks or months ago. It is definitely creepy in a lot of parts and if one is squeamish, then I suggest, get over that. The objective is to kill you and your loved ones. Lock & Load.

A few quotes from late in the production.

‘They do not want you to know that your body is now their property and playground.’

‘We are regarded in much the same way as ‘livestock.’

‘If you are complacent, you will have to stand before God.’

‘This is Spiritual War.’
