Biopsy Taken Successfully

Anesthesia is one of God's gifts.  Yesterday morning (12/30/2011) I was in the operating room looking around at the doctors and the equipment, waiting for things to get started.  The very next second I was lying dazed in the recovery room.  The procedure had taken 1 1/2 hours, but for me, the 90 minutes was a breath of time.

My physician said she had taken 4 or 5 samples from the trouble spot and was satisfied she had a representative sample.  A pathologist in the room issued his preliminary report; the samples appeared free of cancer.  

This is a preliminary report.  Each sample will be more closely examined and the official findings will be issued next week some time.  It's a little early to be shouting "Hip, Hip, Hooray!", but it's not too early to thank God for His wondrous care.

Thank you, Papa, for the bright street light.  Life had begun to darken a bit.
