ME-as I go through this zany, marvelous, difficult experience called: "LIFE"!

This is my 2nd day in the hospital. It's going much smoother than the 1st day here, at the hospital. It's summer, the time when new doctors in training, get  into the hospital system. For many of them, it will be one of the first experiences practicing on real live people, namely the patients. I, being one of these patients. These resident doctors have been known to make mistakes, hopefully learning from their mistakes. The problem is that these mistakes are made on live people. One mistake made, in my case, was that these young doctors in training did not add one of my needed medications, though it was on the medication list and the active problem list  that, both was on the sheet I came in with and in my medical records. My ideas, for the ambitious, young would be, both,  more supervision, more education in patients as people education and an oversight team to guide the doctors who are training. My best idea is prayer. I pray that God will strengthen the ...

It's nearly 7pm, friends, and I am in the hospital (again).  I posted this morning, how I've been so sick. It turns out that I have pneumonia. I really so tired of being sick and so, really sick of being tired! I am being treated with both IV and oral antibiotics. I was in the chapel at the hospital, before going to the Emergency Room. I prayed and prayed and prayed in the hospital chapel. I prayed for a way out of this. Then, as if planted in my head supernaturally: The way out is to go through it. So, friends, I'm trying to be strong, brave, calm and peaceful. Maybe it won't happen at this moment. But, like the warrior I am, and with the help of God,  I will persevere!           Evelyn Pinto          August 19, 2016         7:02pm

It's 6 am Friday morning and I have been feeling sick since yesterday. I've been experiencing chills, severe headaches, body aches, nausea and my stomach is doing somersaults, over and over again. The headaches feel like someone or something is banging while, also, pounding inside my head. It wasn't a good or restful night last night either. This morning I feel weak, fatigued,  sick congested and totally exhausted, totally! To think, I was just discharged from the hospital this Tuesday night,  after a 5 day admission. I just hope and pray,  that I feel better. Even through all of this turmoil of being sick, I know God listens to my prayers. ?God, I can use your help." "Please God help me get through this"! Giving God All Glory! Love,       Evelyn Pinto      August 19, 2016

On the way to becoming somebody else, I became the person I was supposed to be, "Me"!  _Evelyn Pinto

I'm home from the hospital. I returned home early last night. I'm weak and totally exhausted but, medically stable. I have a Pulmonary Function Test today. I did not get it in the hospital because of some confusion. These health conditions take a lot out of me physically, emotionally and socially. There also so much physical pain I feel, which makes my emotions go in circles. Friends, could you pray for me and for those fighting chronic illnesses in their bodies and/or their minds? This would mean so much to me as. I know God hears every prayer and I do, also, know prayers do work. I write, giving God all the Glory, With sincerity, love, peace and prayers, Evelyn Pinto August 17, 2016 *I would like to thank the doctors, nurses, primary care assistants, the Pastoral Care chaplains and all the hospital staff who helped me, while I was a patient in the hospital. The care I received was superb!  The people who treated me were compassionate, loving, genui...

Dear Friends, It is my 5th day in the hospital and I'm now looking out my hospital room window. My hospital room is a medical telemetry unit on the 8th floor of the hospital I am in. It's a room with a wondrous view, almost like being in the clouds. I think, dream and pray up here. I feel like I'm in the clouds, closer to Heaven and to God. I'm doing okay but, very,very congested, from my head to my  chest, painful even. This morning, I'm scheduled to go for a Pulmonary Function Test. I am weak, tired, fatigued and frustrated and am feeling so sick. I know this hot and  humid weather complicates my medical conditions and really doesn't help matters at all! I'm keeping a good attitude and wear a smile often, even through the difficult stuff. You can say, my friends, I'm doing the best I can, at times more! Take care, my friends! Be well! With sincerity, hope, love and prayers,                   ...

I saw the sunrise this morning. I was overjoyed, seeing the sunrise through my hospital room window. I am a patient in the  hospital. Whatever difficulties I face today and tomorrow, they were put on hold, as I witnessed God's Miracle in the Sunrise.. I saw the light of the sun reflect on a building, which stood tall, all outside my hospital room window. My eyes captured the Charles River and the entire city through my camera.  This morning I witnessed the beginning of a God given day called: "Today"! On this day, I will be a witness to the promises Jesus gave. Jesus said that He would never leave me or forsake me. Even when it seems like I am alone in this sickness and confusion, I know I am not. I am never alone. I'm not fighting this battle alone. I am not alone in my brokenness. Why? Jesus kept His Promise to me! I know this!                Evelyn Pinto               Aug...
