Two and a half weeks after my husband’s heart procedure, I got a call in the middle of the night from my brother, who takes care of my mom. When I saw his phone number I thought, “Oh SH*T.” He said mom fell and broke her hip. Within 24 hours she had surgery, which went well. The next day I got on an airplane to see her, and later that afternoon at the hospital, she was talking and super happy to see me.
The next couple of days she improved slowly but steadily so they scheduled her to be released from the hospital to go to a rehab facility the next day. That morning I felt oddly anxious, I even mentioned how I felt nervous in my gut. Later that day, a couple of hours before she was to leave the hospital for rehab, I found her sleeping soundly which was good since she had been having trouble sleeping, but now I couldn’t wake her up. Yelling and shaking, her didn’t really rouse her. Then the nurse couldn’t get her up either, she was so out of it. The doctor came and tried. Mom barely opened her eyes or followed commands.
I told the doctor that this is not how she was yesterday and there is a marked difference. I didn’t want them sending her to rehab like this, something had changed. So, he decided to keep her in the hospital another day and do more tests. Now I know why my gut was telling me something. It put me on alert. They would have sent her to rehab like that the nurse told me.
It was that night that I asked for prayers on my personal Facebook page. Hundreds of you prayed for mom! Wow.
The tests came back normal, that was good, but I told them she hadn’t been eating since I first came. After some IV nutrients and fluids she started to come back. The next day I brought her favorite food, Cantonese fried oysters, to try and coax her to eat. Well, she did, even if just a little. I figured it would help get her body wanting to eat again. She began eating more and started to get her energy back.
In the meantime, I had time to find her a better rehab place than the one they had sprung on us for her to go to. They had only given us a few hours to choose from the 2 places they offered to send her. It was so fast! It turns out when I did a little research those places were not good at all.
But, because she was being released a couple days later, a bed just opened up at one of the best rehab places in town. It wasn’t available earlier.
In the meantime, mom was eating more and talking again. She is back! We flew home on Thanksgiving Day, feeling good and thankful!
It might have been that if I didn't get that out of the blue nervousness in my gut that morning she ‘crashed' I may not have been on guard. Putting my intuition and my logical Thinking Mind together was the best way to go to make the right decisions. You put that together with prayers and you have an unbeatable mix!
You may be wondering, what does that intuition feeling feel like? What does feeling ‘nervous in my gut’ feel like? I got this question from someone on my Youtube channel, “What does your intuition feel like for you???? Maybe I can pick up some hints. I kinda feel it but I'm unsure because I can't remember her. But I hear it sometimes and sometimes I'm unsure.”
Sometimes that warning feeling in your gut feels like what you would think it would feel like if you were waiting to go into a job interview. What would that feel like to you?
For me my gut warnings have felt like butterflies in your stomach which I’ve felt before I had to perform a concert when I was a young girl. Lately it’s been a tense feeling in my lower abdomen, the kind of feeling you have when you are getting ready to jump off a steep cliff into the water below.
It is a feeling of trepidation. Anticipation of something that is not comfortable or scary. Now the feeling is not overwhelming, but this time it was strong enough that I made a comment about it to my family.
Here’s another question she asked on my Youtube channel, “Do you get a warning before intuition comes? Like is it a spark out your corner of the eye and then it’s the next thing that pops up in your mind?????? That’s kinda what happens for me.”
I don’t get a warning per se – but I do get intuition coming to me in pieces and often one after the other.
Intuition can come to you as feelings, or a word or two, or a sudden quick understanding type thought.
I know the best way to know it is your intuition is to practice your intuition skill with a technique and good intuition exercises as I always say. The more you get to know your intuition when it appears you can recognize it when it talks to you anytime, anywhere. That’s what I did.
I’m sitting here writing this for you, I'm listening to Christmas carols which I often do in December. Christmas is my most favorite time of year. It makes me think that spirit is there supporting me whatever comes. She talks to me through my intuition and my heart.
I know that the Universe is supporting me, my mom and all of you. I have faith that whatever happens next, we’ll all be taken care of.
When Christmas comes, I’ll be in church singing. That’s what my mother gave me, her voice (she was a singer) and a belief in something bigger than me.
