Pre-Valentine Post

I had not planned on posting to the blog this afternoon.  But it has been almost 2 weeks and I want you to know what is going on.

The operation removed my gallbladder as well as my esophagus.  I'm dealing with my body adjusting to that.  My appetite is not wonderful but is getting better.  I am getting the 6 small meals a day recommended by my surgeon.  My blood numbers are acceptable and there are no current plans to put me back on the feeding tube.

It is difficult to watch Susan leave for church on Sunday's without me.  I want to see the people.  I want to be in the pulpit.  But this is not going to happen right now.  Now is my time to be resting in God's arms and to receive ministry.  The day is coming when I will be back giving ministry and sharing Jesus.  But for now, Jesus is filling me up.

How can you pray?
1.  My appetite and strength
2.  Susan's continued strength and patience.  She is my support.
3.  God's presence in our lives

Discomfort

Its terribly uncomfortable.  I'm sitting here trying to find a way to sit comfortably, stand comfortably, and sleep comfortably.  I turned on the show Wipe Out.  Somehow I feel less uncomfortable.

No wisdom left.  I must wait and heal before the wisdom returns.  But I am sure of God's love and your prayers.

Those of you who are local ... it's ok to visit.  Just call ahead.

Oh, before I forget...   The Doc says I am cancer free. Officially a survivor!

Can you praise the Lord for me?
