Hi Friends and Family!Please feel free to leave me comments. I love reading comments, good, bad or indifferent.
I wanted to let you all know that I am finally feeling pretty good these days. I do get tired when doing multiple things in a days time, but that is what naps are for, right??? Can I get a witness? hahaha. But really, most of the aches and pains from the last surgery in December to free Brutus are ebbing quickly. The most annoying things are the incisions. They are healing up and itching and the steri-strips are annoying and catch on clothing. Ok... done whining... I thank my God that He has brought me through this. Now on to Buster. He is residing my other kidney.. the right one. He is not as big as Brutus was, thankfully and Dr. G has me scheduled for a lithotripsy (Lithotripsy is a medical procedure that uses shock waves to break up stones in the kidney) So far they have this planned at Oklahoma Surgical Hospital on Friday, February 10th and I will be the first one back. They said they are going to try to make this an out-patient surgery... where I can go home several hours later!!! to my recliner!!! Glory!! My recliner and I have become quite acquainted in the last few months. To reward it for being a bestie, I ordered a new chocolate brown cover for it from SureFit which Roy and I will put on it this weekend. Good friends need to be rewarded, don't you think?
We have received blessing after blessing through all of this. I love all the cards and flowers, and the dinners from family and friends. You will never know how much we have appreciated all of you. 'Thank-you' hardly seems to cover it all, my dear friends and family.Our insurance blessed us this morning. First surgery bill in October at St Franny's came to $26k and BCBS paid all but $2,600 of it. Glory!! I thought that was great. Then came the December bill from second surgery at St. John's.. $75k. wowza (heart kinda skipped a beat when I opened that bill up... haha)... But today we received the BCBS EOB (explanation of benefits) and we only have to pay ... drum roll please.... $120.00. Yes, that is not a typo. God is so very very good and faithful.
I know that as the other bills associated with this come in, He is Jehovah Jireh and Jehovah Rapha... and goes before us, as well as being our rear-guard. Trust in Him with all of your heart and don't lean on your own understanding of things, in all your ways acknowledge Him and he will direct your paths. The Word is truth people... jump on board.
Signed... A Muse of the Remnant
