Or maybe a yo-yo! Those are a couple of ways that could describe the last 7 days. Here is a brief recap. Surgery (my first ever), some really sweet drugs, pain, more sweet drugs, vomiting, lots of sleep, stiffness, a single call 24 hours later, fear, numbness, lots of hard conversations with the most important people in my life, peace, tears, lots of hard emails to other important people in my life, awkward questions from complete strangers, amazing grace, new found purpose, tremendous support, more prayer, tears, a beautiful small group meeting, awesome prayer, bathing prayer, cathartic prayer, peace, amazing friends and family, lots of flying plaster dust, kitchen makeover, wonderful Sunday service, more amazing prayer, incredible friends and family, first visit with the oncologist, wanted to run, watershed moment, could not turn back, smiling faces, beautiful facility, wonderfully compassionate and talented doctors, nurses, and support staff, positive visit, hope, treatment plan, lots of tests, more tests, staging, bone marrow biopsy scheduled (ouch!), 1st chemo treatment September 3rd.................
I stand here in peace!
Some have acknowledged a bit of disbelief about my sense of calm. 4 simple words. God's Grace.....Christ's sacrifice.
Peace!
