One Medical Hurdle Cleared for Sure Today

Today was my follow-up visit with the surgeon who did the second basal cell cancer work on my right shoulder on 12/21. This was to see how it was healing and to discuss the results of the biopsy done from his surgery. He needed to know if he went “wide” enough to get every bad cell out of there.

Yesterday when I showered, the tape over the incision finally worked itself off. I was beginning to think I’d have a 1/4” x 4” tape on my shoulder forever. That made me happy because I was then able to twist in front of the mirror and look at it. It looked good and clean and not irritated. 

Today, in his office, he gave me the good news that the biopsy came back marked “margins clear” meaning no sign of any cancer left at that spot.

That was a good thing. Even though they were a nice team over there, I am happy with the thought that I might never have to see any of them again. We laughed at that.

So, tonight, I go to bed knowing one of my Fall 2017 medical issues is over with.

Although I do not post daily about my thoughts and prayers, it does not mean I do not have them. Daily, especially when I climb under the covers at night in bed, I say “thank you” prayers which place me into a happy state for sweet sleep. This was always one of my prayers the past few months. Nice to see them answered.

Sweet Lord Jesus, the healer, thank you so much for hearing not only my prayers but the prayers of others who prayed on my behalf. Bless those people abundantly. Thank you for guiding the surgeon and his team. Thank you for the patience and faith I needed along the way. I know you are still working on the other medical issues. For now, I will sleep happy, as always, because, Jesus, I trust in you.
