Tomorrow I go in for the implantable port to be surgically placed on the right side of my chest. It will be under the skin and used for chemotherapy infusion.
I spent a few hours today at the hospital getting pre-admitted. I'm one of those people who hates taking tylenol for a headache so I'm really not looking forward to this. Like anyone WOULD look forward to it.
Ended up waiting almost 45 minutes while the admitting nurse tracked down a few of my orders and requests from doctors. During that time I reviewed the plethora of blessings that have been heaped upon my family.
I am a religious person. I completely recognize Heavenly Father's hand in all of this. I spend a lot of time praying and listening for answers. Yesterday in church I listened to each Christmas song that was sung and to both talks that were given by members of our congregation. It was a wonderful meeting. Roseann Almond was the first speaker and she refered a lot to Luke Chapter 2. I love this chapter. She mentioned the questions that come from reading it as well as what we learn. She pointed out that "We learn the importance of cousins" I loved this. I have wonderful cousins and so do my children. This is something I reviewed while waiting for the admitting nurse.
The family sitting in front of me were guests of a family in our church. I've met them a couple of times at different church functions and they are a very nice couple. He also happens to be Dr. Miercort a radiology doctor. He was incredibly kind and answered so many of my questions. I will most likely be seeing him this summer for radiation therapy after surgery.
There are no small blessings.
Of all the seasons to be diagnosed with breast cancer, this truly is the best one of all.
Keep the Faith
