How are you feeling?
Today--the answer is tired.
After the 4th & last surgery—the answer was relief. (a favorite emotion of mine)
Why no more surgeries? Two more would be required to give just 10% improvement in the nose/mouth area. Larry and I didn’t even need time for that decision. Enough is enough. I’m in my 6th decade and being put to sleep can take it’s toll, not to mention lots of sick days. Eventually I would end up in sick bank and I think those days need to go to those in critical need.
What’s ahead?
This week—rest, appointment with Memphis doc and continuing hassle trying to schedule with infectious disease.
Next week—family comes for Thanksgiving to cook & care for me---YEA!!
Next year---??? I do hope to get new glasses---my eyesight has changed
Biggest surprise? Dr. Saporito saying he needed to Biopsy my new ”too suspicious” spot. MRSA diagnosis was a close 2nd—didn’t know what it was---still not sure of appropriate regimen for me because I can’t get in to see the doctor.
Biggest challenge? My MAC-muddled mind!
Biggest blessing? That prayers continued from around the world---BFA in Germany, Holland, France, India, Mexico, and all over the good ole USA---folks didn’t quit praying.
First soft food?---Mary Flo’s mashed potatoes
Biggest disappointment?—Still haven’t gotten to meet Kari S. from Park Cities Pres. who was instrumental in introducing us to the Ridleys. I’ll be forever grateful.
How do you really feel about your face? Grateful to have one that is pretty recognizable---though the crooked smile still takes some getting used to.
Life lesson learned? So many---I just need to remember them and not resort to “my” status quo of self-reliance, self- protection----just too much self in general.
The answer to all of life’s questions is God. We serve an awesome God.
Remember the praise chorus:
Our God is an awesome God.Cole’s summer sermon reminded me that “the Bible is not the answer book. The Bible introduces us to the ANSWERER!!”
He reigns from heaven above,
With wisdom, power and love.
Our God is an awesome God.
A is for...... our ANSWERER!
