What a crazy weekend it was...I went to work Saturday, started having pain between my shoulder blades, just like my heart attack although not as severe. I spent Saturday in Vandy ER and eventually got admitted. I felt better by Sunday afternoon but still had to wait for a heart cath on Monday. They offered many times to do the cath in my wrist but I said, "No way!" every time! Finally around 1PM on Monday they started the cath and the news was good: stent looked great and no new blockages. They believe my low potassium caused some coronary artery spasms and they changed my medicines up a little (actually a lot) and I was home by Monday evening.
Miranda came home with me because Tracy was going back to school Tuesday and she took such good care of me. I don't know why but my healing process has been much slower this time. After my heart cath in Bowling Green last August I was walking the Greenway the next day. This time I am so sore and it hurts to get up and down, sit for long periods, or walk very far. I also have a bad cold and have had a low grade fever with aches all over. Sooooo pretty discouraging recovery.
But I noticed this evening that no matter how I laid Jagger wanted to lay across my leg. If I tried to push him away he would come right back and stretch across my leg and purr away. He wasn't doing it for his pleasure because I wasn't even petting him. But I began to notice the purring and the warmth of his body made my pain go away. Check it out online, apparently he has some healing virtue in his little cat body and wants to share it with me :) Gladly!
"Anyone who has held a purring cat in their lap understands the warmth and feeling of contentment that is conveyed by the sound and feel of the vibrational purr. Researchers are continually looking into the domestic cat as a healing tool for human stresses. Tabby's purring can help reduce his owner's stress or anxieties. Cat purring can ease discomforts such as stomach pain, and also help boost immune systems.
Veterinarians have long noted that broken bones heal quickly in cats. The vibrations associated with the feline purring is of interest to the holistic healing community. The measurable Hertz of a cat's purr lies between 25 and 150. 20 to 50 HZ have shown great promise in speeding bone injuries in human medicine. Research is currently being done to find out if purring actually accelerates the natural healing process of broken bones in humans..."
How sweet :) it just makes me smile. Hopefully I will recover completely in the next few days and in the meantime I am loving that kitty we call Jagger.
Who would have thought God would send His healing spirit in the sweet blessing of a black cat? We never know how His blessings will be delivered. We just need to be open for them, and always be thankful. Thanking the Great I Am for all blessings. Luv ya much, Mom
