Earmarks of a Saga?


Some question marks came up and we will be repeating the surgery, but less extensively, on one side next week, perhaps.  The goal is still the same--avoid radiology.  

I really like my surgeon and am fine with the decision.  I'm just zapped.  I'm extremely fatigued.  Antibiotic aftereffects?  I do overreact to just about everything.  Am blessed, nevertheless.  

Blessings!

Temple

(((Temple))) - my healing thoughts and prayers continue for you! Liking and trusting your surgeon is 'gold' in my mind! I also love that you are listening to your body - it makes perfect sense to me that you are fatigued and zapped - your body is rebelling against the foreign!! I've got 2 friends right now who are battling cancer and they are exhausted always...We often discuss just letting the body determine what the day might feel/look like. I know that we and the doctors encourage rest, rest and more rest!

I feel blessed you're a part of my journey! Take good care of you!

You will be in my thoughts as you go through the other procedure. Your HP will be cradling you in her/his palm!

{{{Temple}}}. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I have a friend with pancreatic cancer and another with multiple myeloma. They both inspire me to be a better person. Hugs, Lyne

Temple you are not alone as you listen to our MIP family share our ESH with you.  I also have had many miracles in and from in the program as I came to understand that my HP in reality stands with me 24/7 and in all aspects of my life.  I have had professionals who have attended my process of healing remark to me "I don't  understand what is happening..." as they inspected the processes.  

I have known that through my powerlessness the others who attend me also have powerlessness and my Higher Power acknowledges that understanding and so I turn it "all over" and go on in the thoughts, feelings and actions that my healing is coming out as God intends it to come out for me which is beyond anything from my imagination.  One of the tools that HP used during a surgery was a sponsee who we had no idea would be my anesthetic and who had no idea of what he would be up against from the condition of my physical system.  He came by after the surgery to apologize for the pain he caused me when trying to do his procedure yet...there was no pain even after three attempts to prep  me for surgery. 

I love the recovery prayer, "Abandon yourself to God as you understand God..."  It is what I do without hesitancy and full faith because it has always worked out in my favor.

I am saying that prayer with you in mind also...  (((((hugs))))) aww

I am so glad you have faith in your surgeon. I know you are earnest in preserving your strength and checking in with yourself I have discovered new medical lo problems myself recently. My therapist us eager for.me to address them. I am taking my time to digest the challenge I have ahead of me I hope you are asking for help and giving yourself the benefit of lots of rest I have certainly abdicated on the holidays this year and it is a wonderful relief to just set that aside for now We are all pulling for you. Maresie

You are all so precious to me.

Thank you, Jerry--I was going to go in there and try to arm-wrestle the crew to let me have IV Vitamin C instead of antibiotics. I may still ask, but I'll leave the outcome up to something bigger than I am.

Maresie, you inspire me--you are so brave. I'm hiring a friend who's between engagements, to tend me or visit me or take me places--and to care for Hubs if he needs it--she's a nurse--for the month of December or until she gets another job. So yes--that's a lot I don't have to think about.

((((((David)))))))

Oh Lyne--Bless your friends. I have nothing to be concerned about, compared to so many people.;

PnP Thank you for the lovely image.

Here--I thought I'd answered you days ago. That made sense, and echoes something my daughter had suggested. As long as my energy is or was going for healing, that is fine. I was ready to go out Friday and Saturday--I'm either feeling a lot better or I've found the perfect therapy for me--light shopping and lunch at the healthy tea room.

Bless you all!
Temple
