Well, sorry I haven't blogged. Things did not go as planned. I would like to preface what I am going to say by saying I'm ok - really. What happened allowed me to experience the fine training and wonderful people who make up Phoenix's paramedics, ambulance, fire, and emergency hospital services. The situation that developed was that I became air sick during the flight and this developed into some type of panic attack. By the time we landed I was very sick and not stable on my feet. Air Canada called the paramedics and they suggested that I needed to go to the emergency department. The staff at St. Luke's Medical Center were terrific. The attending doctor was concerned that I may have had a heart attack and assigned a stress test for the next morning. My enzyme blood work, tread mill stress test, and nuclear imaging all showed that no heart attack occurred, and that my heart is in very good shape - a hard way to get a confidence boost. So I'm good, and they gave me a pill to take if the flight is turbulent on my flight home. All's well that ends well!
So, on with the photography workshop. I missed the first day, but am in Monument Valley Utah as I type this. This place is beautiful, and quite a long drive north from Phoenix.
I am hoping to post my first blog with photos at the end of tomorrow.
Life is a journey, and some times it's hard to see the big picture when things are not going well. But I do believe there is good in things we wish did not occur, and that these experiences strengthen or prepare us for the unexpected in our journey, and maybe even help us to fulfill the purpose of our journey.
Be well.
