I have had ten surgeries in my lifetime, however, this was the first check up on my heart.
A nuclear stress test "by walking" was ordered by my physician. I wanted to do the test as ordered but was not sure it could be completed and I did not want to add any problems to the test. Deborah immediately sensed my concern and encouraged me to do the laying down test with leg movements. I was at peace and calm during the test, because she was using "the gifts and talents" that God has given her.
