[MR] [Moo] send some good thoughts please

[Sharon Henderson]

Hi folks,

I am relieved, delighted, and grateful to be able to tell you all I
have just arrived home, safe and sound.  The doctors gave me all sorts
of tests and found that I have a clear, clean heart, that all feeder
veins and arteries leading to it are also clear and clean, and that
there are no tumors, etc. to explain what happened.  However, given
how narrowly I missed hitting two people and at least one other car,
the fact that I only grazed a tree and hit a retaining wall is a
flat-out miracle--as is the fact that I came out unscathed save for a
lump on my hard Germano-Cymric head.  :)  So they let me go and I am
home now.

Thank you all for the phone calls, visits, and good wishes; I could
feel prayer holding me up!  Because my car is not drive-able for long
distances, nor do I have the funds to fix it, it may be a while before
I'm back in swing--but by all that's holy, I am SO grateful to be
alive that it doesn't matter that much by comparison.  :)  A Red Sox
victory AND a life saved, all in one week?  Blessed indeed....  :)

Blessings,
Meli

Apparently this morning on her way to work she blacked out while driving- went across an aisle of traffic and across two lawns to wrap her van around a tree. She remembers none of it until she woke up, having been thrown from the car.  No one else was injured- in fact, she wasn't hurt either. (Thank you God!)

She sounded shakey but pretty grounded for someone who had so recently had that kind of an adventure. They still have no idea what caused it.
