Yeah, I would be too, but in retrospect - it seems to have become a part of your "family mythology" at least as-told by you. Yeah? I mean, your mom was in a bad way, loaned machines can and are "unloaned" on a moments notice. Them's the breaks. You did just describe a plausible scenario that didn't actually involve a god doing any of the things you claimed that it did (but hey..that doesn't mean that god wasn't there). Is that plausible scenario what you think went down, in dry point of fact language? Or, if thats not coming across, when you say that god did these things, do you really mean something more along the lines of "god was there in all of these things...but for the grace of god go I" ?
On the point of equipment, if you need to stitch my eyebrows back together any other equipment isn;t going to help that. A bonesaw won;t stich my eyebrows together, so it;s unlikely that they would bring a bonesaw with them to stitch my eyebrows...I'm not sure what the type of equipment your mother needed in the narrative is supposed to signify. My question was more along the lines of "if god moves defibs, why not mri?" In your example, it was a very specific piece of equipment, so maybe god only moves the strange stuff?
(if it's too painful that's okay, there are plenty of other examples of this stuff in your life, right?)
