What would you do if suddenly, and without warning, your world came crashing down around you?One day you have a good job, a nice home and good health – so you think. Then you go to Doctor to find out why your indigestion keeps getting worse and why you’re so tired all time. You just kept thinking that you were working to hard and probably way too many hours – which you were just to keep your job.
Then you find out you have to have a multiple bypass operation on your heart. You have 90% blockages in two arteries and 50% blockage in three more arteries. After you pick yourself up off floor from that good news and let it sink in.
You think, well I better call my boss and tell him I want be in for a couple of months. So you call and tell him what is going on and ask for some time off, without pay of course. As you will need time for operation and recovery period.
Well your Boss is all so very understanding and says he hopes you get to feeling better, etc. Then you get -- “Oh by way” speech. He proceeds to tell you – “Our company policy is that if you can’t work when, where and how we tell you to work then we don’t need you -- So you’re fired and good luck”!
Now that really gets you in right frame of mind to be going into surgery, doesn’t it?
Well you DO have best Doctor in three states and you come through surgery great. Then they move you from Cardiac Care Unit to your room for a few more days of recovery before they send you home. Everything with your surgery has gone great but now you start worrying about all bills and finding another job, etc.
All worry starts hampering your recovery and Doctor tells you -- “Let’s get you well and then you’ll be able to find yourself another good job”! But you have to get well first.
Up until now you thought things were starting to look rather burdensome until “IT” happens to you. Everything up until now has just been warming you up for final blow. Your wife is on way back to hospital, to stay with you for evening, when she gets a call from neighbors. They tell her “you need to get back to your house ASAP”!
When she gets there house is in flames and firemen are busy trying to save what’s left. They manage to get a couple things out and a few pictures – but that’s it. Then neighbor’s remember they haven’t seen your puppy. He’s like your child since children have all grown up and moved off and he is all two of you have left. The firemen race back into house and save him. But within a few hours he succumbs to smoke inhalation complications and dies.
Now your wife knows she can’t call you and tell you house, your car, your new boat and your classic Chevrolet you had spent 10 years restoring all just went up in smoke. So she calls and says she needs to get some rest because she is so tired and she is afraid she is “coming down” with something.
