March 20, 2014.. I finished my testing today. I got the bone marrow biopsy done that I have dreaded so much in the past. It was much different this time. I was able to get it done under sedation. It took much longer since things had to be done as if I was having normal surgery. I had to see a doctor's assistant, two anesthesiologists and lots of preparation before it was done in a regular operating room. It was so much easier than the way I had it done before. I had no pain at all during the procedure. The other way, was really painful in the past. I am going to try to have it done this way in the future, even though, it takes much longer to have it this way. This was my 7th bone marrow biopsy procedure.
Tomorrow we see a doctor to learn what his plan will be for my near future. We found out before we left home the doctor that I was scheduled to see had to be off work for a couple of months due to a family emergency. I will be seeing another doctor.
Jerry - thanks for sending me the note about you going back to Little Rock. I had keep the link. It was good to hear that the biopsy was a bit easier. I have never liked the thought of a biopsy. I hope its OK to share with you one of my devotions from the other day:
ReplyDeleteEqual Parts of Difficulty and Grace
BIBLE MEDITATION:
“Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.” Matthew 6:34
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
In the crucible of His wisdom and the ecology of His grace, God has ordered some trouble for you today. And every day of your life.
We’ve been blessed with difficulties. Yes, you read right—blessed! The worst thing that could happen to us would be not to have any difficulties. If that were the case, we’d never know our need of the Lord. So God in essence says, “I’m going to give you sufficient difficulty for the day.”
God gives you enough difficulty to draw you close to Him, but then God gives you enough grace to meet those difficulties every day.
ACTION POINT:
Is there a difficult circumstance in your life? If so, thank God for sending it your way to make you more like Jesus. Now ask for His grace to be victorious through it!
This sure made me think about things differently.
My prayer for you Right now Jerry is that God will Supply an Abundant Amount of Grace to You to meet those difficulties every day.
