Bette and I just spent 2 days at the hospital in Springfield as she was checked out for heart problems. Ending results were that she has an abnormal heart pumping with a weakness that should repair itself in a month or so [cause basically unknown]. Good news is that there were no problems in arterys or valves, so all is ending well. Such visits do help us all to look at what we do on a daily basis, our hopes, and what we really hold as important in our lives. As such they can have a very positive effect, and also help us empathize and appreciate the problems others are having. The technology available today in the health field is amazing, but the most important resources hospitals have are the people working there, and the helpful, hopeful attitudes that all of them demonstrate on a daily basis. Thank you to all!
