Thanks

Ruins of Ss. Cosmas & Damian
7th century church
 Thank you very much for your prayers and concern. I'm much better than last week, thanks to your prayers. The cardiologist and the dentist are collaborating to adjust my medication so as to avoid a heart attack but while also controlling the pain. So far there has been no serious complications. The first 72 hours were crucial but I managed to pull through that. Now I am preparing for the minor surgery which hopefully will go ahead.

Ss. Cosmas & Damian
When I was feeling better on the 5th day, I walked slowly to the ancient ruins of the chapel of Ss. Cosmas and Damian, two Syrian saints who were doctors and healed the poor without asking for money (in Greek "anargyrii" or "penniless"). I went to pray that these 2 doctor saints would intercede for me. They must have heard my prayer ... well until Wednesday I hope.
