"S" words covered by my "Safety Net"

1/9/10 One year ago today I heard the word biopsy* come out of Dr. Schneider's mouth.
When you hear biopsy and it pertains to you, it's like "hearing" it for the very first time.

Though he'd never seen anything like it before and it didn't look like cancer, a biopsy was the starting point in order to rule it out.

"S" words ensued---

  • surprise---2 other doctors had seen it ('91 & '94) and had dismissed it saying I wouldn't want to "mess" with it because of scarring
  • socked in the stomach jolt---CANCER----that's a word I pray for others not to have
  • sick---a little, but "it doesn't look like cancer" was ringing louder than the biopsy word
  • scared---does a biopsy hurt????
  • suffering???---I'm not big on pain
As the world, as I had known it, began to shake, my "Safety Net" began to unfold.
The fear of man lays a snare but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe. (Proverbs 29:25)
