God is great! Wow! I was very concerned about that. (I wonder how much venous growth, dilation, whatever can happen to compensate fro increased demand/load/whatever.)
One of my daughter's elementary/middle schoolmates has some cerebro-vascular abnormality which has lead to one stroke already (at age 23) and has that time-bomb aspect. He was operated on this AM. A completely lovely young man. Parents split up, mom wanted to find herself, and I scarcely was able to hold myself back from suggesting that if she shaved her armpits, who knows, maybe she's hiding in there ....
It's a good thing God is patient and all, otherwise He'd be saying, "What ELSE does Mad Dawg want?"
This PM we heard about the Magnificat, how it is a song of reversals, and how it is GOD who pulls these things off, not us. It is HARD to stay with Him and to give all our cares to Him when so much seems so dreadfully awry. But He fills the hungry with good things, He lifts up the lowly. He just doesn't pay much attention to my time-table, is all.
Sounds like an aneurysm...They are a time bomb but there are a bunch of new techniques to fix them.
Catching them early is the biggest part of the equation.
