My posts will be sporadic for the next two to three months as I prepare for and recuperate from surgery. I would appreciate prayers for my family during this time because my father will have to care for my mother without me. Though home health, family and friends will be available to help, most people just don’t know how much time and energy it takes to be a caregiver.
The good news is that I finally feel good enough to have this surgery. I’ve been avoiding it for ten years and can’t postpone it any longer.
I’m also working with a team of doctors that I trust. Though they are not infallible, they are more than competent. My surgeon was just named one of the best doctor’s in the entire country in her field.
With all that in my favor, all I can do is trust God and leave the results to Him.
