LIFE AT 60 - NEXT STEPS

This is getting to be a very interesting journey!  After spending most of Saturday and a good portion of Sunday in the hospital, now comes the parts where you meet doctors, nurses, technicians.  You go through "pre-op" instructions, more information given out.  The whole Mercy system is set up by computer now, and if you have any kind of record in there, it is ALL in there.  Kind of interesting really.  I think they call it "one patient, one record".  I feel like big brother is looking over my shoulder.  LOL  But even with all this high tech stuff, they still get things wrong, so it all has to be re-verified.  I went thru that part this morning.  Had to talk to the anesthesiologist where he gave me some very strict orders of what to do an not do the days before the biopsy, and even the morning of.  Not even a glass of water.  UGH

I guess Im writing this today just to update things, and like I said previously it tends to be theraputic for me to write down my feelings, emotions, etc.  What is really strange, my head says one thing, my heart says another, and my being wants to just run an hide and make it all go away.  (reverting to a 5 year old)  LOL

What I do know is this, and sorry if any of my non believing friends dont get it, but what I do know is that when Jesus died on the cross, ALL of our sins were taken care of.  ALL of our healing was taken care of.  ALL of our needs were handled.  When Jesus died, and said "It is Finished", He was telling his Heavenly Father that He had done what He was sent to earth for.  We have that assurance and I have determined to stand on that promise.

Does that mean Im not afraid, or worried, no of course not, because I am.  What I do know is that I have many people praying for me, and covering me with "their" faith, and Im standing on that.  I know that I serve a very loving God who cares about me in every way.  I know that if He cares about the birds of the air, then how much more does he care about me?  I think quite a bit.

I do have a Doctor consultation this Friday, and we will chat and I will be told what the exact procedure will be, what recovery will be like, etc.  Ive been told that the procedure will ONLY be for the biopsy, which is good, that is one less thing I need to worry about.  The actual procedure is scheduled for Saturday February 11, so until then, nothing to do but sit back and let God continue to work on me.  Should be an interesting journey.

Until then - Im still believing in the best!
