June 8, 2016. Loveland, CO. Winding Down

We just returned from Cheyenne and my final VA appointment. This was a stress test (nuclear) to follow up the test which was done a few weeks ago and concerned the cardiologist. We will have definitely results by Friday, but the cardiologist was pretty positive the results would be negative. That's good. Karen had all good reports from her tests and appointments, so we are counting this trip as a good one, medically and glad the appointments are over.
We have had many good visits with family and friends, with a number still to come, church on Saturday evening, and then the plan is to head back to Arkansas. The weather has been good, the living accommodations in the RV Park are comfortable and, all in all, it has been good to be back in Colorado. We are pretty sure that living in Colorado again is not in our future, but God may have other ideas for us. Never say never.
When all the hoopla started about the VA not doing their job and not serving the needs of the veterans adequately, we were surprised at the accusations against our own Fort Collins and Cheyenne facilities, since we had never had any problems with our care there. The past two weeks have done nothing to change our opinion about the VA and the excellent, personal, professional care given to me. We can't say the same for most of the "civilian" medical care we have received over the years, but we have been very fortunate to have health coverage and facilities which keep us pretty healthy and happy. We know that the Great Physician is watching over us, providing for every need and blessing us with the life He has called us to. We say it often, and it may seem like just "Sunday School" prayer, but we really mean it.........THANK YOU, LORD.
