Default Prayers and good thoughts wanted

You all were a source of strength last year, and once again, I'm asking for prayers. Fortunately, not such a serious situation as Bekah' but one that is troublesome.

My dh Dick, who has had a couple of episodes of shortness of breath recently, finally saw the cardiologist today. The Dr. is thinking it 'might' be angina, and Dick has a battery of tests Monday. We know the Dr. and if he really felt it was life threatening as in today, Dick would be in the hospital. Phew!

We are scheduled to go on a cruise Weds and will know if we can go ...Tuesday. I can live with any decision but now am more concerned that my husband will get himself into a state of worry over the next few days. We're both pretty good about dealing with what is but the limbo states are the worst.

Any good thoughts and prayers for whatever is going to happen will be greatly appreciated. Scrappers are great sources of strength I've found!
Love to you all.

Oh Maureen, I'll be thinking of you and sending out lots of positive thoughts! Here's hoping it is not something too serious.

Maureen, I'll be remembering Dick . . . I know that the waiting is the absolute worst thing. Hopefully he'll stay calm, and you'll be able to take your trip as planned.

You and Dick will be in my prayers, Maureen. I too agree that the wait is such a hard thing to deal with. Let us know what the doctor tell you.

I will for sure pray for good results for your son. Waiting is so difficult. I will pray for peace during the wait, for you and your hubby.

Waiting is the worst! Know that I'm keeping you and Dick in my prayers. Praying for a great outcome.

What is it with these men anyway? Them and their hearts--sure know how to scare us!

So so true Terry. When he went to his gp first, he walked fast up 6 flights of stairs to replicate the feeling he had so he could 'bettter describe it'!!! That doesn't surprise me. Do you think many women would do that??? and risk dropping dead in a stairwell??? geesh.

Oh Maureen, at least he went to the doctor! Women generally have atypical pain, if any at all, and tend to stay at home hoping that it will go away....
