two months and five surgery’s later, I’m finally going back to work this week…
I’m still quite rundown, so if you would like to continue to hold me up in your prayers, I will cherish them.
For the most part though, I think this goal is complete.
You have all been amazing!!
you have giving me the extra boost I needed
and at times,
the kick in the pants to remind me where I needed to go, and Who is my real strength.
I can’t thank you enough!!
an extra thank you to Gemmword, Oogy, and Isabella for posting for me when I was to sick to post for myself..

I had my last kidney surgery… this time it was done with a local and I don’t do well with locals… they just don’t work on me, so I was in some serious pain.
The good news is … it worked and it’s all over
the bad news is…. the Doctor has declared me completely well and has released me to go back to work after tomorrow. I am still in some pain and am pretty run down, and can not imagine being able to handle the workload
but it’s going to happen anyway…

I really wish I could say “everything is fine now… time to close down this goal … thanks everyone”
sigh ... instead I have more bad news
I have had more pain in side again, this time it has been accompanied with a fever …
I probably should have called the doctor today, but I go in tomorrow for test anyway and I’m scheduled for minor surgery again on Wednesday … so I guess I thought it could wait… or maybe I’m just tired of it all… I don’t know.
anyway… thanks to those of you who are still praying

I wonder how we would define being “flutterlicious” ????

May Yahweh bless you and keep you;
may Yahweh light up His face toward you and be gracious to you;
may Yahweh lift His face to you and appoint peace for you.

I think it’s just getting harder and harder each week to bounce back … things are piling up that I have to get done and I can’t put them off much longer.
I got a call in from work today and realized that I am expected to be well and back in a week and with the way I feel now, I just can’t imagine being able to handle the workload
I probably shouldn’t be writing this right now … I can’t ever remember being this discouraged, and I know that God is in control. That He is my strength and that I can trust in Him.
sometimes it’s just harder them others

hopefully ….
I have another kidney surgery scheduled for wednesday… I’m trying to keep my spirits up, but I am starting to get discouraged at this point
Please don’t stop praying … I need it now as much, if not more then ever.

I don’t know if I’m doing better today or not,
so I’ll just report the facts
First the good news. The pain is greatly reduced, and except for a mild, content, ache, and a sharp pain every once in awhile … it’s almost gone. In fact, I have done without pain meds all day with no problem.
The bad news is that I have started to have consistent and visibly growing amount of blood in my urine. At this time it’s not a huge amount of blood lose, but I do think I will call the Doctor in the morning … Hopefully he will be available on a Saturday.
