As many of you who have been here a while know I have had a lot of stress, a lot more than what I generally post. Good news is that everything that has to do with my family has resolved. Husband was able to transfer to the company that took over their contract so he is employed, daughter that just graduated from law school does have a job that will be part time for a while but that gives her extra time with her baby before she has to work full time. Daughter that had to take a medical leave from college does have an internship and is taking a couple of classes this summer, she should be able to graduate in December.

I still have some personal issues going on but have said that things will happen in God's time, although I have to admit I have prayed for a sign and for patience recently... But, I finally got back to my Gyn that did my surgery in February - I wasn't worried, I felt great, but due to some issues that have resolved after that surgery (she removed a lot of adhesions and scar tissue) it makes it more likely that a surgery that we looked at about 3 years ago would be successful and that would definitely improve my quality of life. So, they will be scheduling me for the tests to be redone and then I will find out about the surgery. Luckily I don't need a full pelvic reconstruction and definitely hadn't planned on surgery again this soon, but this does answer my question on why my schedule and God's schedule aren't the same.

I won't say I am looking forward to another surgery in any respect, (I figured the next surgery would be plastic) but improved quality of life will be greatly appreciated. And, I have my sign, as always, God knows what is best and is in control. I really need to learn to be patient.

Although today didn't turn out like I expected at all, I have a great feeling of peace. Things will work out, in God's time...

Thanks everyone for all of your prayers over the past months/year.

Yes they will. So often we do not understand why things go the way they do. I never in a million years would have thought I would have faced the hard time I did after my surgery, and my teen rebellion,husband losing job, and then insurance, while I was still in hospital, almost resigning the church and moving and leaving our home and everyone who loved us behind. BUT GOD!!!! Yes but God was there and he pulled me through it all, as he has you. Now one year ago today I look back and say thank you God for the valley because now as I stand on this mountain top I know that while I was in the valley you were there and you are the one who got me through it. You are doing great hang in there.

'Amen He is God on the mountain and God in the valley. BTW have you cosidered that you could have a plastic surgeon come in after the abdominal whatever surgery you have to have to do his part while you are still under the anesth? and the hospital expenses are covered by the insurance and all you have to do is pay the PS fees? this was suggested to me if I indeed have to have some bladder reattachment in the future. Pray to God I do not. just something to look into.
