Saturday Memory
June 20, 2026
Sometimes, things hang together with the thinnest of threads. I was at my annual physical and everything was checking out just fine. I had an intuition that I should have a cardiac stress test for a baseline. The doctor did not think it was necessary, but because of my intuition I pushed for it and it was scheduled. After I did the stress tests, I was called and told there were some anomalies that needed further investigation. I was scheduled for a nuclear stress test. The results of that indicated I needed a catheter study of my heart vessels (a coronary angiogram). That procedure revealed that all five of my heart vessels were almost completely blocked and I was immediately scheduled for a heart bypass operation. After I was out of recovery, the surgeon told me that without the bypass, I had no more than a month to live. That intuition was the thin thread that saved my life.
In those days, the only way to have cleared the arteries was to have done open-heart surgery. Now, it would’ve been totally different, potentially. Maybe not. You’ve had some brushes with sudden death. And somehow other, some force has not wanted you to go. I can relate!
But I also know that you have a mission in your life, and have always been shown the other side they have never crossed. I am so grateful for your life. For a million reasons.

I second your sentiments, Suzan.
All in favor, say ‘Aye!”

And what weaving those threads make!
You are glorious.
