THE COLLEGE GRADUATE

Jada Mary Stevenson-Brown
Second Testimony
God has speared me again… I started having headaches yet again but this time I had a headache everyday for 3 weeks straight. I woke up one Saturday morning and had another headache. I was fed up, so I decided to go to the hospital but this time I was going to Kettering instead of Soin I needed answers. I got to the hospital and then they told me I was being admitted so they could run some tests. The next morning I ended up having a MRI-V so they could see all of the vessels in my head, they said they seen evidence of a blood clot on the left side of my head that was new but to make sure it was there they wanted to do an angiogram. I was so nervous that I ran my blood pressure up to the ceiling. The next day was my angiogram and I was still having doubts and fears. The nurse came in and she talked to me about the procedure as well as the nurse practitioner that worked with the neurologist that was performing it. My mom walked down with me and waited in the waiting room until I was finished with the procedure. As they took me back to the patient waiting area my nerves were shot, I started crying and ran my blood pressure up more. I was telling God how scared I was and that I didn’t want there to be another clot. The nurse that would be helping with the procedure came and told me he was taking me back assured me that it would be okay and that I was in good hands. I took a deep breath and just asked God to help me get through this. I was then taken to the procedure room and they slid me onto the operating table and they explained everything to me while doing it. They then gave me a medicine to relax me once they were set up and made sure I was the right patient. Once I felt the medicine go into my IV I blinked once and next thing I know I woke up and I could see all of my blood vessels on the large screen they use to look at when doing an angiogram. God had allowed me to see inside my own head and to see what they saw, and the doctor is operating in my groin area but I felt no pain. The neurologist then asks me am I doing okay and I nod yes, he then tells me that he was done and that I handled it great and that he didn’t see any new clot or even the old clots that I had. They closed the area that was open and then slid me back on my bed and I headed to meet my mom in the waiting area, later that evening I was discharged. I thank God for his mercy and grace towards me because I could have been dead so many times before.
