Waking up with a pounding heart and feeling like you're about to pass out if you try to stand is not the most peaceful way to start any day. But yup, that's what happened. Long suffering partner tried to convince me to call 911 but of course I was just gonna ride it out. Then he did convince me to call Nick's Mom and dear friend K, who is very good at convincing (bullying) stubborn old ladies to do what's good for them. So, off in the ambulance I go. It was a little scary that we bypassed three other gurneys waiting in the entrance to be ensconced in a room ASAP. Next came all the wires and drips and other things to make your day very interesting in a scary sort of way. K showed up while long suffering partner stayed home to deal with our dogs. To keep my mind off any impending doom, K provided great companionship and kept the conversation riveting while constantly monitoring all the monitoring going on. It was the perfect setup. Then, it got even more perfect. K spotted a therapy dog in the hallway and went out to see if she would be allowed in the emergency room. The answer was a heartwarming yes, and in walked Maisie. Maisie is a 13 year old Goldendoodle who can bring anyone's blood pressure down just with a glance. She's beautiful, calm, and so cuddly. She came right up to the bed, put her head next to me, and allowed pets and scratches. Maggie, her handler (and Mom) was just as delightful without the petting and scratches of course. The good news is, that after Maisie's magic, I am safely home. Meet Maisie for yourself and see her healing power energy.
So to sum up: the three rays of sunshine were long suffering partner, Nick's Mom K, and Maisie the wonder dog.
