Well my pearls of great price, my suppliers of strength and courage and faith and love... my pray-ers! you have prayed me through another adventure!. Thank you,aaounds so measly.
First of all I apologize for not keeping you up to date. Life as you know, has been most unexpected with the virus etc. But in July, my sister Kathie died and 48 hours later her ex husband, Tom Messer died in Ga., and she in Col.. It was difficult for us all especially their children: Stephen; and Samantha (john murphy); and Colleen(Steve Dubjec), please keep them in prayer.
Life is not easy, it is good to know that 'man' does not create it, nor keeps it going! I am so grateful to know the Lord, and to know of His unconditional Love and Sovourgnty that is underneath this mess that we are creating. I hate to think that we only have ourselves and science to depend on! Forgive my ruminations!
Back to the topic at hand, my latest adventure in the land of health. About 2-3 months ago had tests and discovered the cancer growing, so considered some options and the one I chose was to have a mascectomy of the right breast(with the tumor, and cancerous calcification) also some lymph nodes on the side; and a lumpectomy of a group of cancerous calcification. They didn't do a double mascectomy as the are complications with other issues.
So here I am! I was in the hospital over night 36 hours.. to be continued
March 21, 2021
To clarify, surgery Feb 11; home 36 hours, still here.
Some how I didn't realize this was major surgery? Anyway the lack of energy, strength and weakness have been difficult. Thank God the pain let up after a couple of weeks, and have not had too much back and neck pain. The adventure now is healing the wounds. I have difficulty healing?
Sorry if I have not talked to you, I apologize, have been 'krabbity' and isolating. It is so difficult and painful and depressing to talk about it. People care and want to know how I am, I so appreciate that, and your payers. It is so hard to see myself in terms of the surgery and broken and slowly being put together in some form or another. I just haven't been able to get myself up and going. I am not quitting. So hang in there please. Give me funny jokes, as laughter is extremely healing and lifter of spirits
call it 'PP&J' please pray and jokes! gently please!!! God bless you enormously and let you know you are a pearl of GREAT PRICE! mary ann
P.S. Like to return and remind myself that God is in Charge and He knows what is going on!!
I don't need to,
I just have to trust... and remain in His Love❤️ and His Peace🕊.
