Lucky

So happy that I made it through another week...and a week with good news, at least in the big picture.  I saw a surgeon this week and he was skeptical at first that someone so 'young' was willing to have such an extensive surgery.  And then I began the story, from the age of 19 whether he wanted it or not. Finally he was accepting of my need for the surgery and that it is my last hope of regaining my life as it was before the disease progressed.  Lots of X-rays and a 3-D CT scan and I revisit him this Friday.  Hopefully I will be able to plan the next few months of my life next Friday afternoon.

This is a blessing and challenge, but 'I can do all things' (Phil. 4:13) through faith in Him.  I am also beyond blessed to have friends that I consider family that are willing to help as I go through this.  Even one that knows me too well and says I should be making the list of what I will need so everyone can plan to be a part of the schedule.  Just a reminder of the blessings that are shower even in the midst of the daily challenges.
