Sharon Hospital excels again!
This time I was testing cardiology! Sunday morning at Church I developed symptoms of what family and EMTs present thought might be a mild heart attack and a visit to the hospital was in order.
The emergency room staff were at their best and detected a minor change in my status which then precipitated an overnight stay at the hospital for further testing. I was overwhelmed by the professional attention in the emergency room and then further impressed with testing from the cardiology department the next day.
To watch this 93-year-old heart working away during the electrocardiogram was like watching something from outer space with color. The Technician loves his job and was so proud of the high-tech equipment provided by the hospital and exceedingly patient with all my questions.
The Stress test was equally high tech catching my heart before, after, and during. The idea of a stress test can be daunting but the technicians involved were most considerate and encouraging.
Fortunately, the result of all this is that I am good to go but I want to sincerely thank the good nurses who are the backbone of the hospital and the sophisticated skill of technicians and doctors. We are so fortunate to have a hospital nearby where you have the comfort of familiar faces, kind words, and excellent care.

Ground Ball
A hard, deft swing of the bat brings delight
while leaping catch at the wall conjures surprise!
Swinging for the stands may be a strikeout,
but a well-placed bunt may win the series.
The ref may be doing his agonized best,
yet fail to meet your high expectations.
The pitcher may walk a slugger-batter,
as a double-play may save the inning….
Fans in the stands may be too excited
when the popcorn vendor juggles a spill.
The bald coach in the dugout has the stats
on a legendary relief pitcher…
Reporters play bloated hyperbole,
but the infield knows the real, lean story.
