Faith Through the Journey

Ugh–another of those days! Boy, am I tired of them! I know this HAS to get better! Tomorrow will be the next-to-last step, we hope. When we meet with the surgeon, we will have a surgery date, which will bring us within sight of our goal, my getting better. While I do not look forward to the surgery, I know it will bring me relief from the debilitating pain I have fought for so many months. If there is no other way for me to be well, then let’s get it done and get through it.

I am counting on my Lord to get me through this. There is no way I could think of going through this without Him by my side. I know my husband will be there when I go to sleep and when I wake up, but I am confident that Jesus will be with me (and most importantly with my doctor!) when I am under the anesthesia. Of course, I don’t want to wake up in the middle of things! But even in that state, I know God’s presence will be in that operating room, and for that I am so grateful.  During these next several days, I will be preparing mentally and spiritually to face this once again. I know this is not what people would term “life and death”, and others have gone through much more difficult operations. However, walking the halls of the hospital pushing my IV pole sounds rather inglorious, even though I know that will help with recovery.

So let’s get ready and do this already!
