I came through surgery well today.  Of course I am in pain and am struggling with the pain meds keeping me from resting.  I do have a praise report though.  When I went to the Dr. last Thursday they expected to schedule my surgery for 2 - 3 weeks from then.  While I was in the office someone called in to cancel their own surgery and I was able to get my appt. for this Tuesday.  I knew that the Lord must have had a hand in that, but received even further confirmation of that today.   While doing the surgery the Dr. found that my knee cap had begun tearing the cartliage (meniscus).  It was a very small tear and he was able to clean it up and does not expect me to have any long term isssues because of it.  The thing about the timing is that if I would have had to wait a few weeks the tear would probably have been worse and would have required a more intensive repair and in all likelyhood would have caused some arthritis in the joint.  Thanks for all of your prayers, please keep them coming.

Be Blessed!
