“Have you been told by a Doctor ” There’s Nothing more we can do at this time “? And you still feel like you’re dying ?

“A Read ….

As you know by now, I had been getting my Films ready and After the day’s edit, I proceeded for the Academy Voting Member’s viewing of the Gladiator 11 … but all through the viewing, I could not sit up… you see, I had been rushed to the ER twice that week already for back – chest pains that would come intensely and leave the Next day! The doctors were checking for my now Hbp and intense Acid reflux ! On the second admission the Doctor gave all the Drips, blood work and sent me home to manage ? Luckily it left …

“However … after the movie, I knew there will be No talks with Denzel or Ridley Scott today. I needed to go! I threw up all Night till there was Nothing to throw up anymore. By Morning the Most Dilapidating Stomach pain started and so l was rushed Again to Emergency… the Third time ! This time, I was wheeled in, straight for a CT scan, Ultrasound and the MRI. Then the Doctor came in and said you have to go in immediately for Surgery! … to Remove your Ball-gladder!!! It was so Dilated, the Doctors wandered how I was not in more pain. More pain???!

“So the Fight for my Life began and today I am returning to Give all the Glory to God. So on this day, whether you’re in the US or not, there’s so much to thank God for, take some time to join in and give Thanks. Not only the gift of Life, but the gift of good health. The gift of a complete body or a sane mind to even dream of a better day.”
