If you are one of those who believes that everything happens for a reason and nothing happens by accident then you are going to love this story.
This morning I was chatting to one of our clients in the gym about my continuous infections. Now this fellow knows a bit about infections since his sister, who was a quadraplegic suffered for a long time with them.
What you need, he said, is to speak to a pathologist. Pathologists are experts in identifying bacterial infectious strains and analysing what antibiotic works and which ones are ineffective because of resistance.
I don't suppose you know one, I said. As it happens I do and she just happens to be the head of the biggest laboratory in South Africa.
I don't suppose I could chat with her, after all I'm certain that she is very busy.
Two minutes later I was explaining my situation to her on the phone. She promised to help me get to the bottom of my quest for a killer antibiotic to destroy my infection.
Now it would help if she knew me don't you think..after all why should she help someone she had never met, after a two minute telephone conversation.
By the way, she said, on the way out of the conversation, what happened to you.
Broke my neck in a surfing accident at St Francis Bay (St Francis Bay is a 12 hour drive from where we both live in Johannesburg), in April of this year I said....silence on the other end....you've got to be kidding she said, I know who you are, I was actually on the beach at the time waiting for my son who was also surfing, I saw your accident happen. I was the one who went to find the emergency ambulance for you. I actually spoke to you while you were lying on the sand. How are you?
Well, now I think I have a good chance of getting the expert help I need.....don't you. Pure luck, I don't think so.

Dougal, no person on Earth could write a story such as yours...In fact, it would be an awesome story to tell others.

Seriously, your post.. wow, I felt goose bumps also! Celina
Dougal,
To the unbeliever there is never enough proof. To those who believe-there will always be enough evidence. Count me in as one of those who believe in Intellegent Providence.
Unbelievable. This will be the answer to solving your infection. Its meant to be. Bec
Have you gone any further with this? Have you made an appt with the doctor? Any news about your infection that you can share?
Lynda
Count me in too Carlos.
Hey Bec, thank you for visiting, I think it's meant to be, absolutely
Lynda, today's post answers your question
Hi. I don't often post here unless it is something witty and clever- hence the lack of posts! I did want to say that it was refreshing hearing of this thing we like to refer to as a co incidence.... Personally, I think the whole thing smacks of Margot- the angel on your right shoulder.
We all wait to hear your good news.
Eden
Thanks buddy, and thanks for popping in...she's all around me, all the time.
A devine appointment miracle! Praise God for you bro!
