Seesaw


It seems that Merrie is on a seesaw. First she was seeing, then she was sawing, and now she is seeing again. The goal is to be at the balancing point.

Her last hospital visit was the result of problems that were side effects (as opposed to “front” or “back” effects) of two of the drugs she was taking. At that time the doctors eliminated one medication and changed another.

What has happened now is a reaction to that change. Because her original medications were changed or stopped, her original problem has begun to reappear.

So the goal is to find the right combination and dosage. Like the three bears. Not too hot. Not too cold. But just right.

More metaphors to come. Please stand by.

She will be in the hospital through the weekend, and is scheduled to have a heart-stress test on Monday. As if just being in the hospital is not stress enough.

All things considered, she’s feeling pretty good, and is keeping in touch with everything via her trusty iPhone.

Craig and Merrie,
I alerted the FUMC staff at the meeting this morning about Merrie's hospitalization/condition and requested that she be put on the prayer list.
