The Orchid Garden

Need My ONG Friends Right Now, Please

Question:

Thank you all for your kind support.  Had a weak moment for a bit, but am back to my normal feisty, unwavering self.  And Kathy, I do understand, so how nuts does that make me???? Frank has treated nature’s Gods well, so I’m sure they are smiling on him. Big test tomorrow will tell if there was any damage done.  Then, if it looks okay, I can bring him home.  The problem will be keeping him from putting on the gardening gloves and knee pads for a while.  <S. Thanks much. Diana

Response:

Whew!! That’s a load off my mind. Right *after* I hit the send button I was afraid you’d think I was making light of your situation. Glad to hear Frank’s doing better!

- Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Late at night, and I  have left my husband at the hospital, where he is being monitored for heart problems.  He apparently had a mild heart attack Thursday night, and we are doing what we need to do. I know how silly this might sound, but he asked me how the orchids were.  I got two new plants in the mail (thank you, Ray), and Frank was wondering how much I loved them.  I did what had to be done…..watered my plants and his (non orchids) . The irony of ths is that my news server will probably take days to get this to you, and by then it will be old news.  Still, I needed to get it out, and I hope you don’t mind that I reached out to you. Beauty and love are one in the same, so often..  And as for my wonderful husband, well, I had to kiss a lot of frogs before I found my prince.  And today, in his honor, two Phals are spiking, way ahead of time..

Diana My prayers are with you. I hope that all will be well with your husband. Karen

Dear Diana, Its Sunday (11/4) and I hope by now that your husband is stable and out of the woods, but I just wanted you to know I appreciated your post and want to give you a big hug! Its a good sign that his first thoughts after the attack was for orchids. With the orchid gods suitably appeased (note spiking of 2 phals) I’m sure they’ll put in a good word for him with the cardiology gods. Check the garden for signs that the all other gardening gods have shown their approval of your husband too. Look for signs like delayed leaf drop till he can make it home to rake them up. (provision of aerobic exercise by the exercise gods! Yippee yet another approval rating!) Or leaves blowing into garden beds to provide mulch for his recovery period (a sign of co-operation from the compost gods) Bet you didn’t know it worked that way. I know, it took me a awhile to figure it out too. MDs call it ‘consulting’.  People call it ‘praying’ but really its the gods asking around if anyone knows Frank and has he made the proper appeasements through channels. The more gods we can think of who are pulling for him the quicker and easier his recovery will be. Hope I’ve made you smile, K Barrett – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Late at night, and I  have left my husband at the hospital, where he is being monitored for heart problems.  He apparently had a mild heart attack Thursday night, and we are doing what we need to do.
