To all my friends,
I will be having some surgery on May 26th, that may change the way I do
things for
awhile. They tell me I may be in the hospital up to a week, and may have to be off
work for a bit until all is well. I have prayed and asked God to be with me; I have
been anointed with oil and prayed over; and I have been promised by many friends
like you; that you will be faithful and pray for a quick and easy recovery. I'd like
to tell you that after all that, there's not an ounce of anxiety about any part of
this whole procedure, but for me that's not the case. Anytime they have to go inside
your body and "correct things", it scares me. I've never even been in a hospital
more than one night in my whole life, so this will all be a whole new experience
for me.
Even as my anxiety level climbs as the date grows closer, I realize I am
blessed
beyond what I deserve. When the doctor first came and gave me
the results of the
test, he mentioned the C-
families and loved ones facing
far worse things than what I am about to go through, and cancer has become a fear
in all of our lives. While my
diagnosis was NOT cancer, the doctor feels surgery
is the best option, to make sure it never will become cancer.
If you're approaching
the big 5 0, and your doctor is suggesting some
diagnostics, if you're like me....
you may have been fighting those tests, simply because of the inconvenience of it
all? Mine was done because a nurse who I jokingly called "vigilante", cared enough
about her patient to be persistent. I went into the hospital almost angry that I
was there, but that all changed in less than an hour... when I found out I wasn't
quite as "well" as I thought I was.
Early detection is THE key my friends! Because
someone cared enough to
rough-
need to go and you haven't been? Don't you think it's about time? The last
thing the doctor said when he called me and told me I didn't have cancer, was "whoever
it was that you said made you get tested....you might call them and thank them"?
I said "what for"? He said....."she may have saved your life"......
