Lithotripsy Round Two Scheduled

Hello!

Had my appt with Doc G last Tuesday and he said we will do another lithotripsy on March 27th. He showed me on the xrays that part of Buster (affectionately named right kidney stone) did not break up as much as they thought and it was now blocking the remainder of the stone 'debris' from leaving... hence why my back is still hurting. We will be at the Oklahoma Surgical Hospital again. I really like that place. I have decided that I need to write up a booklet on comparing the different hospitals around Tulsa seeing that I have now been at 3 of the major ones in the last 5 months. 


Wednesday night I started feeling not-so-good. Thursday I got up to a 102 temp and it lasted all day and night and then Friday (today) I got up and it was still there, so I called Lynne at Doc G's office. I was really hoping that it was just the crud that everyone around here seems to have. It is not. The tests from Tuesday had just gotten back to her office.


That internal infection that I had taken those nasty Rocephin shots 2 weeks ago for has not gone away. I will have 5 more days of shots again, today was my first and will have a standing date next week. This infection has to go in Jesus' name. It has no right to invade my body and take up residence. It has to leave now. 


They will check me again next Thursday to make sure that it has left my body before the next surgical procedure, and let me declare ... the last surgical procedure with these kidney stones. Enough is enough. I am ready to walk in complete health and wholeness according to the word of God. 


What have I learned through all of this? I am an ongoing project of God and that he has an infinite sense of humor with me. He reveals new things to me all the time to work on, and He knows my boundaries better than I do.

• Patience... Things will be completed in His season, not mine. There are reasons why I have to wait on Him and his timing is always correct.
• Trusting... If you know me well, you know I do not trust easily. Probably why I have only a handful of close friends, but many aquaintances. I am learning to trust people, and to trust God more. When I get down on myself I hear that still small voice say, "I have your back kiddo.. no fretting allowed."
• Not being so serious and letting my humorous side come through more... I can even tell by my writing in this blog that my more 'colorful' side come through more. My immediate family knows that I can be a cut-up and comedian, but I rarely share that. I guess that goes back to 'trusting' 'eh? 
• Committing to my word (when I say I will pray about something, I pray about it right then.) I notice that so many people on Facebook say they will pray, but know that if I type that I will pray for you or your loved one - I am praying. (please give an update too... that helps to know if we should continue)

Learning so many other things too that I am not ready to share with you, but just ponder inside my heart for the time being. 

Love and hugs.... A Muse of the Remnant
