About Us:
I was on my way to church that Sunday to drop off my husband's poetry.
I kissed him good bye and told him I would see him later. He was
expecting a telephone call, so I had given him my cell phone to use.
About 10 minutes later, while I was driving on the Florida Turnpike, my
vision started getting blurry. Cars suddenly would disappear what
seemed like a mirror abysses. I knew that I had to pull over; as this
was not normal.
Because I did not have my cell phone with me, I put on my flashers and
waited for someone to stop. But no one stopped. So I prayed to God and
asked if He could please help me. I asked God to help me drive my car
and not kill or hurt anyone in the process. Having strong faith and
trusting the Lord, I started my car and drove with my emergency lights
on; driving with my left hand on the wheel and my right hand over my
left eye. I drove about 25 minutes this way to the Emergency Room at
Good Samaritan Hospital in West Palm Beach, Florida. Once again, no one
stopped or noticed me. The reason for this, I believe, is because God
was taking care of me and keeping me safe.
When I arrived at the hospital, a woman asked me what was wrong. When I
told her that I had blurred vision she parked the car for me. They
tested me for Diabetes. Thank goodness that test came back normal. Next
they tested me for Glaucoma. This test also came back normal. After
both of those tests were done, the technician then said they would like
to do a Cat Scan on me. The results of this showed a very large mass on
the right side of my brain. I was diagnosed with a brain tumor! I could
not believe it.
