UPDATED - 12-3-2019
Today I had two scans and a chest X-ray
preparation for the upcoming surgery.
Scan 1: XR Chest PA
Scan 2: Cat scan of full body
X-Ray: Chest
I went to
for the above tests. Never much fun you know. The sexy
white bracelet they give you and a IV they had to try
twice for. :-( Let's hope they come back with nothing
added to complicate the journey. Not sure when I will
find out results. I will update when I do. For those following,
thank you for it all, and for those who are not. It's OK.
Really it is. Below is just a repeat of my treatment. Nothing
new with it so far. Thanks for being there for me.
TREATMEMT
On December 19th, 2019 I will have part of my jaw bone removed and
replaced with bone from my leg. It will be approximately a 10 hour surgery. I
will be hospitalized from 7 to 10 days. I will not be able to eat or drink for a
period after surgery. Nor will I be able to breath correctly so a trakia will be
inserted as well as the feeding tube(s) for a while afterwards. While I continue
to wrap my head around all this - I will feed off your support - prayers - and
well wishes. I thank you so much for them. I shall miss being home for
Christmas, but as the saying goes. "You do what you gotta do."
I must dwell on the outcome of once again being cured of this nasty stuff.
A prayer for me and for
those struggling ....
Dear Lord,
I am so grateful that you are bigger than my fears.
You are bigger than the anxious feelings that won't
seem to subside. You are with me (Isaiah 41:40.) You
are all-knowing and all-powerful. Because I know all
of this to be true, I will trust you and your perfect
plan. I make the choice right now to reject the
paralyzing feeling of fear so I can walk confidently
in the truth of your assurance. Calm my thoughts,
Father, and give me your peace in this moment.
