Well, I’ve had a wonderful few months living essentially
symptom-free. Just today I got to do one of my favourite things: go
on a road trip with my wonderful wife to watch my awesome son play
hockey. Friday I got to celebrate my incredible daughter’s 19th
birthday with my family and some friends. Tomorrow I will get rudely
yanked back into a reality where I am fighting for my life against an uncaring
unfeeling opponent that is doing its best to kill me. (How’s that for a
little melodrama? J)
Thankfully I’m in the hands of The Great Physician, who is
capable of healing me or of giving me a glorious eternity. Right now I’m
kinda hoping He helps the physicians in the operating room. I don’t feel
like my work here is done, but it’s His call.
I’m glad I don’t have to be awake or responsive during this
procedure. After all, given that I have to be at the Foothills hospital
by 5:30AM, my hunch is I’ll be sound asleep again before the anesthetic has a
chance to do its job. J
Anyway, I’ll try to send an update out as soon as I can
after the surgery. I’m hoping we’ll know a little better what the future
holds after the surgeons operate.
See you on the other side (of my surgery, that is – sheesh,
I’m not dying just yet!). Thanks for all your prayers, thoughts, and
support!
