Oh, did I forget to share that this all happened at 6am in the morning and I was scheduled to speak on stage at my church at 11:15 am. The topic was, "Life vs. Chaos". This was true chaos and I needed my Healer to rescue me. Last day of hospital stay After rolling on the floor in pain, I woke my husband and we headed to the emergency room because I n
