Sept 6: Sometimes life really sucks

My friend Carol, the pianist at BuxMont, is a regular reader and frequent commentor here. Even if she doesn't comment she lets me know she's still reading. No matter what is going on, no matter who is talking with either one of us, the service, for us, isn't complete unless we hug. She even got me a wheelchair to use at Fellowship for the upcoming Blood Drive.

Early this morning Carol suffered a hemorrhagic stroke. When our minister saw her this morning in ICU he said she managed to say her own name, but is paralyzed on the left side. She has high blood pressure, but is only 51 years old. The outcome will not be known for several days, much less whether there is a rehab potential.

She's been out of work and my suspicion is that she doesn't have insurance.

Please include Carol in your thoughts and prayers. Laurie
