Carolinas Healthcare System Toastmasters meeting 03-04-2014

Speak Mas Bilingual Toastmasters meeting 03-06-2014

Funny!

Dear toastmaster family, an unexpected event has happened and I will only have computer access to my emails when I am at the hospital. Please keep my father in your thoughts and prayers. They thought my father had suffered a heart attack sometime. He was sent to a cardiologist this past Thursday who sent him straight to the hospital. They did a heart cath yesterday and it showed that he has NEVER had a heart attack and that his heart muscle was good and strong. That's the good news.

The bad news was that he has 3 blocked arteries and they cannot put in stints. Instead dad will have triple bypass open heart surgery. It was to take place today, but because of the dye still in his kidneys from the heart cath they could not do the surgery. They have rescheduled it for this Monday.

While my dad is at hospital, I am helping my brother with our farm feeding nearly 200 head of cattle and my parent house.

I am still trying to wrap my head around this. You never expect something like this to happen. All your prayers and thoughts are greatly appreciated. I will answer your emails as quickly as possible. Thank you

I have never been so great in front of cameras but thanks to Toastmasters and all that great practice I can apply the skills learned. Also the leadership roles and especially the HPL project made this community service a reality. Join the movement: http://youtu.be/Fs5GuX5G0OI
