Medical Teams - Some are Incredible

Events have been propelling my life quickly since the end of September. I’ve been on both a financial and medical roller coaster ride.

Financially, I am better than I was a year ago, but I must not forget that just one event could push me backwards. No, it’s not pessimism, it’s being realistic. Too many folks get complacent and then spend wrongly or make bad decisions when they think the worst is over. I own my own old mobile home and an old car and an old body. It would be the most arrogant of assumptions to figure that nothing else would ever need fixing on any of those three. In fact, I still haven’t had time to look into once again having bottom dentures. So, I am relieved to be paying bills on time and without needing to renew loans, but I trust the Lord to keep me wisely watchful.

Medically, it has been wild. The Lord has shown me issues needing fixing. He encouraged me to move quickly. I have. My head is always spinning, hoping I do not neglect to book a ride for this event, or forget to change that dressing, or whatever. But along the way, the Lord has also blessed me with incredibly reliable medical teams. Everyone has been great.

Well, I might say a wee prayer for some improvement in one appointment nurse’s abilities - that gal has me talking to myself many a day lately. It would actually make a good comedy skit or sit-com episode. Might share it with you all over the weekend for a laugh.

All in all, the folks have been great. I have understood every step along the way. Yesterday I had a moment or two of fretting because it wasn’t ending as quickly as I had assumed or desired. I think I’m over that but could have a moment’s relapse here or there. No biggie. I can usually shrug those things off. I’ll eat a cookie.

Sweet Lord Jesus, the healer, thank you with all my heart and soul for all the great medical help you’ve sent while I’m on this wild ride. Bless every member of each team during this most wonderful time of the year. And bless every person I know for any words or prayers of support along the way. Jesus, I trust in you.
