Corbett's Houston Helpers

 This has been quite an eventful week.  Last Monday I was having some severe chest pain and shortness of breath so we went to the emergency room. After waiting for 4 hours, I was finally put into a temporary holding cell, I mean observation room. The temporary room turned out to be my permanent room until after my cardiac catheterization on Wednesday morning. I had two previous stents that were blocked so the doctor did an angioplasty to expand the stent further out, and then used a cutting balloon to remove some of the buildup in the stents. I had very severe chest pain afterwards and my blood pressure dropped to 90/40, so they gave me a bolus of IV fluids, morphine, and nitroglycerin. It finally improved in about 30 minutes. I was released on Thursday afternoon, and am recovering at home now. This is the fifth time that I have had this type of heart procedure done with 10 previous stents. However, this one was much more painful that all the others. I should be in good shape ...

 We have two Sister Missionaries that give the Spiritual Thought for us at the end of our English Class. There are missionary transfers every 6 six weeks, so one of the companions is transferred while the other one stays and receives a new companion. Sister Wiser was transferred in February so we got a picture with her and sister Harris. They are great missionaries and were such a pleasure to have in our class. Now we have Sister Harris and Sister Booth helping us. We only have two weeks left in this series of lessons and our numbers of students have dwindled down to 3 at 5pm and around 7 at the 7pm class. Most of them are afraid to come out anymore. Even with a work permit and social security number, they are no longer safe from deportation. We will be starting over for the third time the first week in April. There are 24 lessons so it takes 6 months to complete the course. Hopefully, we will have a group of new students come in to our class then. Most of the ones that we have now...
