Thank you all for your honest responses. I hope to do individual thank you's later.

I hate to repeat what others may have read on another thread. But today, my wife was admitted to the hospital for a blocked left carotid artery. She's had headaches for 2 weeks, and spent all of last night and most of today either vomiting or sleeping. Now her speech is slurred.

The prayer I came up went like this (with liberal apologies to Carolyn Myss)
"I don't know who you are
or even if you are
or that if you are, that I even like you

"But you are the only thing I can turn to right now

"But I would like to point out
that now, you are asking WAAAYY too much of me

"Thank you".

Personally, I like the idea of turning to the higher power I believed in before the trauma.

More - and differing -input is absolutely welcome.
