Two days Post-op
After two days of recovery I've finally lost most of the anesthesia fog and I'm getting a little clearer.
My tummy looks like I'm pregnant with a painted on smiley face where my incisions are. I have four of them, with the lower one hurting the most. I spent part of today searching for sweat pants onine that will fit a 6'2" woman. I'm not sure when I'll be able to button jeans again.
For all of you brave women out there who have had C-sections I sympathize with you in a way I could never before. Boy, am I sore!!
Because everyone was so happy with my results I don't have a clear picture of exactly what was done on Friday but hope to talk to my Dr. tomorrow. I do know I have all my parts and pieces and that makes me smile.
God is so good to give us things we could never even imagine. Of course I'd figured out the three or four options I was going to be faced with and just like HIM he hands me one far better.
"I love you Jesus, just for being you."
Hope you had a good weekend.

Surgery
Nov. 19, 2009
I planned on a contest this week, really I did!
But life got in the way and I woke up this morning realizing my surgery is tomorrow morning.
I've had a lot of peace.
Until today.
But time with HIM this morning gave me back my peace and put my focus on HIM and not my circumstances.
Keeping my focus on HIM is harder today than it has been. My tummy is a little up and downsy!
Ok, now I'm making up words.
Pray for me.
Surgery is at 8am to remove left ovary. A biopsy will be done. If all is well I get a few stitches and come home to recover. If not, it's a more involved surgery and a two-three day hospital stay.
Pray for my family.
Pray for the kids.
Jesus reigns. |

Resting...
The boys are sitting by the campfire tonight. It's actually cool here. And tonight began college football. The best time of the year if you ask my husband. He could live from sept to dec every year over and over again and skip all the other months
So we girls (all two of us) decided to take a bath and use our special conditioner from Aunt Lyn. Baby girl thinks it smells wonderful!
So just as we climb in the bed baby girl lunges from the bed yelling over her shoulder, "Mom, I forgot something."
And back she skips with her Bible. "We forgot to read about Jesus mommy. Find a page with lots of words about Jesus on it, okay mommy?"
So I open her beautiful bible and begin reading in Acts. Jesus has died and Peter and John are getting in trouble for preaching and healing guys! Go Figure!
So as I read about the Holy Spirit and how they would rather die than not preach the gospel I watch my baby's eyes slowly flutter down. I kept reading long after she's asleep. Not for her but for me.
And Peace, Beautiful Peace once again rested over my heart. My very own daughter loves to read the bible, her bible at night. She longs to know about Jesus. She loves him already. She may be one of those who has loved him from birth. God told me she would do great things for him before she was even born.
Now as I watch her sweet heart shaped mouth open, her chest rise and fall, her hands held together as the thumb has just slipped from her mouth I am reminded of how often I need to climb in my Daddy's bed and listen to his songs and his words to me. How I yearn to feel safe and cared for.
With Princess Blankie tucked firmly under her chin she is safe.
Safe in her mommy's bed.
Safe in her daddy's home.
Safe from having listened to the Word.
Safe.
Loved.
Cared For.
"Oh Father may she always have such a tender heart for you. Your prophetess, your child. And may you always remind me you hold me just as tenderly in your hands." |

Short and Sweet
For all of you waiting to hear. My biopsy was normal yesterday. My blood test CA125 was elevated above the normal of 35. Mine was 42.3.
Will retest in one month.
Praying and believing they will be normal then.
More later.
IN HIS HANDS ALWAYS... |
