Sunday Matters: Headed to Surgery

19 Comments

Sunday Matters

Last month I shared a Life Update and since then I’ve been anxiously waiting for these two surgeries to be scheduled. They are next week, 1/9 and 1/10. Cannot wait. It’s weird to be eager for brain surgery but let’s go.

These steroids to control swelling have kept me up for two weeks. No sleep but I am not even tired. Just a little on edge.

I would appreciate prayers heading into this, good thoughts, all of it. Prayers that it is benign. Smooth recovery and no complications. My daughter will be down for the surgeries but has to be back at school on 1/15.

In the meantime I’m reading and just resting. This last week a few more symptoms popped up. I’m isolating to avoid COVID too. That is the last thing I need.

Have a great weekend. It’s cold here but I am cozy and well.

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.
