I'll get by with a little help from my friends.

Even though I’d been attending a Women’s Bible Study church regularly, I’d yet to share anything with them about what I was going through. Everyone else seemed to have such pressing needs and praying for other people was so much easier than praying for myself. But, I was losing confidence in my doctor daily and I sort of felt like I was running out of options. Finally, it got to the point where I felt that if I didn’t tell them and ask for suggestions on how to handle my cardiac care I didn’t know where else to turn.

What was stunning about their response was how many women were on cardiac drugs and if they weren’t on them personally they knew of someone who was. One of the women handed me a card with her cardiologist’s name on it and said, “You’re going to love her. Just go for a consult and see if you like her before you decide. Besides, it can’t hurt.”

 “It can’t hurt,” seemed like a phrase that was popping up in my life a lot lately.
