Decisions, decisions

everfaith

…and the ball is in motion, the die has been cast, and all that jazz… In my journey back to all things healthy and sane, this morning my husband and I went to visit Dr. R. to get a second opinion about the necessity for hysterectomy and to get a feel for which doctor we felt would best meet my needs. Both doctors have been around the block a time or two, and I don’t think I could go wrong with either of them.  However, the one-word description my husband had for Dr. R. is “thorough.”  Whereas Dr. C. came … Continue reading Decisions, decisions

One down, One to go

  Don’t I have a beautiful family?  As I contemplate the big step towards hysterectomy, I am so grateful that God gave me my husband and my daughter.  She is the best part of both of us… This afternoon my sweet husband took me to my doctor’s visit to consult about hysterectomy. I think he was a bit anxious when the nurse took us into the examining room because she started fiddling with the robes as if she was about to ask me to undress!  Fortunately, it wasn’t THAT kind of appointment this time, and he was able to breathe … Continue reading One down, One to go

Must be those circles under my eyes! Tomorrow is a Big Day.  My husband is joining me in a visit to the doctor who diagnosed me with adenomyosis so we can discuss surgery options. If the Lord is trying to make … Continue reading Hold me?

Transfer of Power

I took a lovely walk this morning.  If I had thought of it, I would have brought my camera.  But I didn’t…so you’ll just have to take my word for it that it was a lovely jaunt on a fall morning. However, in honor of the first day of fall, here’s a picture of a pond near my home that we took several years ago. Even a camera could not have captured the feeling of the breeze buffeting my face and hair.  There is a hint of power in a fresh, fall breeze — one that portends cold snaps and … Continue reading Transfer of Power

“Life is Pain…”

everfaith

Fear is a four-letter word, but so is Sick. A couple days ago I wrote extensively about Fear and how I want to move from letting Fear drive me to a place where I let Love lead me.  Assisting me in this endeavor is the book Grace for the Good Girl.  I followed along nicely until about halfway through the book.  Now I have hit one of those areas where I might as well bang my head against the wall as understand what the author is writing about.  Maybe this has to do with my internal “stuff” about fear, or … Continue reading “Life is Pain…”
