SURGERY #7:
Tuesday, July 23rd, 2013 ~ Cooper University Hospital
As I face yet another surgery, this one will be #7, I pray the Lord will guide the hands of my neurosurgeon as he works to find the exact location of my cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak. HE is the one in control. HE is the one steering this ship and I trust in HIM that all will turn out well and with the best possible outcome possible.
I go for my pre-admission testing tomorrow at the hospital. It's strange. It almost doesn't feel "real." IDK. It's hard to explain but it just doesn't feel real, like it's really going to happen in just one week. I hardly had any time to digest the information let alone schedule. The hospital called me last Tuesday and said surgery would be in less than 2 weeks because the surgeons didn't want to wait any longer. So whammo, there ya have it. Surgery in record time, which is great b/c I don't have to wait months and months like I did last time. But on the other hand it feels like it's happening so so fast that I don't have time to really digest it. I just know it needs to happen b/c living like this with this amount of pain is just not an option. I pray pray pray that this surgery, with all of the unknowns and all of the uncertainties that lies ahead, is the right decision. I hope that the Lord guides these surgeons hands and leads them to the problem area and that He guides them to FIX it. I have 8 days until surgery #7.....eight days....
