What's up with THAT!

Ok not for nutten but!
Why is it when you think there can possibly be a break in all the excitement of life, meaning...home, work, family, all that good stuff there seems to be a monkey rench thrown in to stirr the excitement once again. Surenuff...on Sunday as the practicing began for our Thanksgiving special music for church I get a call, not just any call either, one that had our paster point me out and motion to come to him...well that's never a good sign...so I removed myself and was told to call my husband on his cell phone, this too is never a good sign. Pastor Ron said something about Billy having chest pain at work. SO! I ran back to the office proceeded to call Billy, sure enough chest pains, said to come and get him at work and take him to the Hospital...as I prepared to leave another call said well they may call an ambulance...ok, but to come on to the mill, see Billy works for the local paper mill here in our Town...regular Fort Knox...so I knew this was no prank they were pulling on me THIS TIME...so I go to my truck begin the process of getting to the Mill, and I got another call, indeed they had called an ambulance just come on to the Mill and I could see Billy before they took him to the hospital...OK on my way.
(For those who don't know me one of my nic names is Arie Lindyke...he's a race car driver...ok I digress..)
Well, I begin the journey, I prayed the whole way, held my breath, kept my eye on the road, both hands on the wheel, took ALL the back roads, did about 85 the whole way and made it to the Mill before even the ambulance arrived. I was escorted into the other building where they had Billy waiting until the ambulance arrived, I stepped through the door, I was not ready for what I saw...seated in a wheelchair, shaking severly, oxagen mask on pail as a sheet. Scared me to death, when out of the blue, (and we all know who lives in the blue don't we) Kerny (a great friend) shows up, he came up to me and ask what's going on, then ask if I was ok, all I remember is turning to him burrying my face into his shoulder and sobbed....it was FREEZING outside and the coldness had enveloped the area we were all standing in as well, so I too was shivering.
Finally the ambulance arrived, they came in took charge of the situation....
Ok I have to go for now will follow up on this later today.
