Another verified miracle!

[JMCKUSICK]

I happened to Google the name of my Dr that was assigned to me in the ER when I arrived here yesterday from Vandalia.
Please Google Dr. Thailandria Daniels and be as astounded as I am.
I knew none of this as I arrived here of course but she treated me as wonderfully as I've ever been treated by any medical professional. This is St. Louis on a Saturday night, there were at least six ambulances in bays at various stages of unloading, I had to go through a metal detector and even the little bag I had was searched for drugs, weapons or other contraband.
Dr Daniels was an oasis of care, compassion, empathy and yes, love amid this sea of chaos.
I was a nobody in her space and she immediately made me somebody.
Her life story is amazingly similar to mine, a product of abuse, multiple living arrangements etc.
That Dr Daniels was my Dr. had to be intentional. I refuse to believe that all of these coincidences keep happening as pure chance.
Thanks to all of you for the many seeds that you keep planting, watering and sending my way
Miracles are all around us so thank you for yet another one from you all.
Love, John

1. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. It sounds like someone is watching over you

[JMCKUSICK]

6. It has felt that way for months now

Without a day off.
Thank you.

[SheltieLover]

2. Hru feeling?

[JMCKUSICK]

5. I'm struggling to breathe and will be until

They put this hose in me to drain these fluids.
Through all of the pain and discomfort, I can't help to feel blessed and protected.
I will be catching up on my thank you notes tomorrow and Tuesday.

[SheltieLover]

7. So saddened to hear you are suffering

I hope they get it done pronto!

[JMCKUSICK]

11. Thank you SheltieLover

Me too.
There's a gentleman next to.me that they can't get IV to start and that feels like torture to me.
I feel so bad for him. Five sticks for one IV.

[SheltieLover]

24. Yikes

Dehydrated perhaps?

Did they tell you wtf they're waiting for to get that fluid removed?

Stay sane, John. We are all pulling for you!

[JMCKUSICK]

25. Primarily a spot in the OR

I'm still not on the schedule as of 3am CST this morning.
I'm really anxious about the process and terribly afraid of how painful this will be in all honesty.

[SheltieLover]

26. I'm so sorry you are going through this

Are they going to at least sedate you? And are thry expecting a full return to whatever normal lung function is for you?

Hang in there, buddy.

[JMCKUSICK]

27. I saw a Dr fellow on Saturday night

Who briefly said what would be happening, but nothing since. They said it would be done using a local anesthetic so.....

[SheltieLover]

28. Did he say how long it would take to do?

[JMCKUSICK]

32. It shouldn't take too long,

As the Dr said this morning, the woman who does these does them all day

[SheltieLover]

34. Well, at least the provider is experienced

Are you scheduled yet?

[JMCKUSICK]

33. I should correct a prior statement, I'm not

Sure an OR is needed, I was trying to say an appointment time wherever they do these.

[SheltieLover]

35. Have they scheduled you yet?

[NJCher]

3. pretty amazing, isn't it?

That Dr Daniels was my Dr. had to be intentional. I refuse to believe that all of these coincidences keep happening as pure chance.

I don't think it's chance, either.

[JMCKUSICK]

4. It really is, there have been so many

Individual occurrences that make this something special on so many levels.

[DENVERPOPS]

13. It is often not "chance"

but the patient, more often than not, having GOOD KARMA........

[3catwoman3]

8. I wish everyone could receive care that made them feel as valued...

…as you felt during this encounter.

[JMCKUSICK]

9. I couldn't agree more

Everyone deserves this.

[DENVERPOPS]

14. Believe me

in the current state of medicine, it is becoming much less common.........

[JMCKUSICK]

19. Hi DenverPops

I love seeing your name here.

[Clouds Passing]

10. How are you JM?

We create our own reality, like it or not. We can create miracles.

[JMCKUSICK]

16. I'm in pain, but also in gratitude

And in a blessed state.
I'm surrounded by the celebration of all that has been, followed by the anxiety of what's coming, which is more of a PTSD fear of the unknown if that makes sense.
I'm afraid of more pain, because that's the one constant that's been so present in all forms my whole life.

[Clouds Passing]

29. Pain is a pain 😬

We’ve had enough of it, eh? When you get overwhelmed with fear or pain imagine your body with many roots deeply connected to the earth. Rest in mamas love and nurturance for you. Imagine the light of the father sky/sun shining down into your entire body radiating and dancing with every cell. As these energies meet inside us they fuse and become one. Our bodies are the miraculous receptacles of this beautiful union. Gratitude for sure. Grace is the highest form of gratitude.

Have a day filled with grace JM

Peace, CP ☁️

[JMCKUSICK]

30. Thank you CP

You're words are such a sweet note to my Spirit
Thank you beyond words.

[Clouds Passing]

37. FYI

This visualization/meditation is effective at healing your inner child. This gives him a healthy, nurturing, comforting, healing, creative, loving, compassionate inner mother and father guide in his life.

Very simple and very effective.

[MLAA]

12. Sending you healing thoughts and the very best wishes. You are in good hands!

Keep us posted.

[JMCKUSICK]

18. Thank you MLAA

You and so many others have been so lovingly present with me throughout this journey. I can't explain how lonely I've been in past situations where I did feel I wasn't worthy of others love.
I stop myself from feeling like a Jerry Springer tv guest, as I've always had really harsh views of people violating their own modesty.
Believe it or not, I feel overwhelmed sometimes because I've never had so many friends and I'm afraid I'll fail you by forgetting to honor your individual friendships.
Some of us are on first name basis, some of us are on a ID basis with the same intimacy as the others.
There is one member I speak with on the telephone, which has always been my preference because I type like someone who never took typing lol. I never did.
Yet each relationship, has its foundation in a recognition, a bond of relating on a soulful level and that is always genuine and in my world, worthy of the term friend.
Please accept my friendship as you all will be guiding me in ways I cannot see, teaching me things I have no other way of knowing, and allowing us at new points to walk hand in hand, eye to eye, knowing that we've both/all shared our lives journey in ways that would make Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, and so many other spiritual guides proud.

Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean. - Ryunosuke Satoro

Together our pebbles meet again and again as CP has referenced amongst others and the creation and recreation and rerecreation of flows emanating from us as a result is pure magic miracle.
Thank you
Your friend,
John

[MLAA]

31. I am honored to call you friend.

Beautiful sentiments you shared! Just remember you also need to treat yourself as a dear friend by treating yourself kindly and patiently, appreciating your gifts and not dwelling on your shortcomings or better said lessons not yet learned.

[ultralite001]

15. May the miracles just keep on coming...

TIA...

[JMCKUSICK]

20. Thank you ultralite001

[Nanuke]

17. John you are in the hands that care for you. We at DU will make sure you are going to be OK. Promise.

[JMCKUSICK]

21. You so often already have Nanuke

And so many others.
I love our simple DU mails, almost sharing family updates as cousins or distant brothers and sisters may.
You all have have lifted me in some of the simplest and yet profound ways, you've reminded me to savor what a moment holds, from savoring the ice cold wiggly flavor of a bite or orange jello that I just really enjoyed to the profundity of the impact of a single act, word, moment if allowed, to travel the universe and find random connection points that will forever change me or you, or someone inspired due to that moment.
I hired a 21 year old kid to work in timeshare marketing 10 years ago and he had enough issues that he ended up having to be rehired a couple more times if you catch my drift. He reached out to me this winter and told me how my embrace and belief in him eventually changed his life.
I'm celebrating his immense success selling Subaru's in Golden Colorado the right way.
" Be yourself, be honest and be curious"
I love Subaru's golden retriever commercials and love that the are very generous as a corporate donor.
Help people, love people and give. Like Og Mandino says in The Greatest Salesman in the World.
I love him because he's working to overcome his demons and he still has that child's heart that is idealistic and believes you can succeed the right way.
You all do that for me every day, and I hope I give some of that back in a usable way for you.
You've reminded me how joyful writing in love is.
You've promised me that your words shine in that same love. I don't know what tomorrow will bring, but this ocean of drops will awaken one morning and will have achieved something beyond extraordinary. You all covered extraordinary a long time ago. Thank you Nanuke and this entire Army of .........,................,.............................s
