Sunday Matters: Coming Up for Air

Sunday Matters

Earlier this week I shared a Life Update and since then I’ve been sitting with the knowledge I have and just feeling all weird about it. Everything will be fine and I am doing well at the moment. I am trying to stay busy and since my Winter break begins soon that means a lot of last minute tasks.

Right Now:

Today is the student ministry Christmas party so that will be a blast. They always have to take the Karaoke away from me.

Tonight we go with friends to drive around and look at lights. Cookies, hot chocolate and conversation.

This Week:

Monday I am working from home. Tuesday and Wednesday I plan to go into the office. Then, I am off until January 2. I usually take more time off but since the kids won’t be here for break I kept it brief as I will need the time later.

Reading:

I am reading Happiness Falls. My reading totals are really horrible this year. With everything going on, distraction got the best of me. This will probably be my last book of the year.

Happiness Falls

Watching:

There are so many shows I want to watch but so far it’s not happening. Again, that distraction thing.

Grateful for:

Not happy that it took so long for a doctor to listen to me but grateful that I can move forward now and hopefully have a good resolution. Your takeaway, if you feel that there is something wrong with your health, keep pushing. It took me over a year to get scanned and I have probably been dealing with it for over two years according to the doc.

I hope you are all doing well. I’ve missed everyone.

Life Update

Many of you know of my mobility issues of the past two years. It’s been difficult to get a doctor to listen to me. Specialists kept blaming my autoimmune disorders, or even long covid at one point. I finally convinced a doctor that I might possibly have MS so she ordered MRIs.

My MRI this past Monday revealed a 6cm brain tumor. They think it’s benign but won’t know until they go in. I need two surgeries. One to sever blood supply to the tumor and then weeks later its removal. For those interested, here is the scan.

I need to come off of one medication before they will operate so I am looking at mid-January, early February.

I’ll take all the prayers and good thoughts you have. Thank you.
