The Weekend.........

I went to church for the first time today in over 12 years, yes you read that correctly, 12 years. Well I should state other than: weddings, funerals, baptisms, etc. I can't believe it had been that long. I went hoping to find some inner peace, but I'm not sure that is going to be accomplished on a trip to church one Sunday morning. It was at least a start and it was very peaceful to sit there for an hour and not worrry about anything! My dear husband was kind enough to go with me eventhough I told him I would go on my own. Funny thing as I'm sitting there just day dreaming, not necessarily listening to what the Priest was saying, but I can't even remember what the inside of St. Theresa's churched looked like in Salem, but I can distinctly remember what St. Phillips looked like in Grafton. That doesn't make much sense, but oh well.

This obviously was my first trip to the church in Lebanon and to my surprise the church was run down. Most catholic churches that I have been in are beautiful, but inside here you could see water stains, etc. I guess most people don't go to church for the astetic (sp) value, but rather what the message is for the day!

I'm not feeling so well, maybe one reason why I went to church today. I had Jarrett take me to the ER on Friday night. I had tried to get in to see my cardiologist that day, but he wasn't in the office, nor was my general practitioner. I thought at least she could run an EKG. I was having palpitation like feeling in my chest for the past couple of days and well. I start talking myself into thinking I'm dying so off we went to the ER.. This is going to sound funny, but FINALLY they found something a little off. Normally, when I go to the ER, they can't find anything wrong and send me home with muscle relaxers? Seems like all they want to do is pump you full of them if you're having chest pains??? They actually could see on both my EKG and the monitor that they hooked me up to that I was having additional heart beats every few seconds. It's a very funny feeling. They ran a bunch of other tests and said everything else looked normal and that they didn't think it was caused by a HEART ATTACK, WHAT??? Heart Attack, don't throw those words out if they aren't the cause of my problem, are you kidding me....Never really thought that was the case, but it sounded really weird hearing it. They talked to my cardiologist and then sent me on my way. I have to follow up with him on Wednesday. So, obviously they didn't think it's that big of a deal, but still concerns me that I'm still feeling the additional beats every second and they haven't gone away yet.

We got a little snow today and I think we're going to get more tomorrow! I want to go on vacation...anyone else?
