The surgery is over I’m in a room. I‘ve been admitted. This isn’t what was we planned. Neither was several other things that happened today.
The morning started with my friend, Jane, getting ready to go to her car. She went outside and saw a big, dark shadow. When the movement activated lights came on, she saw that the big, dark shadow was actually a big, black bear! Then, when she got to her car, it wouldn’t start. So, she called me. Her husband took her into town where we decided to meet and she drove me to the hospital.
After that, all seemed to go well. Surgery was a bit late, but that’s okay. We weren’t going anywhere anyway. I eventually was taken to the OR. The surgery lasted more than expected, four hours. That’s because the doctor saw that the cancer had spread. Not what I expected or wanted to hear.
I was admitted and spent the night. I’m really hoping and praying that I will go home today. I want my own bed. I want to mosey when I can’t sleep and I guess I will have to deal with the emotions of the news that have crushed me. Chemo is in my future.
I love you Sue. Praying for all the things…God has not abandoned you.

ReplyDeleteBeen there. I know the crushing feeling when you oncologist confirms it's an aggressive cancer and the treatments begin. But I also know (as you do and you will) the truth of Psalm 121:5,7 -
ReplyDelete5 The Lord is your keeper;
7 The Lord will keep you from all evil;
You God will keep your life.
