Surgery is done. God’s protection was over me and the doctors and nurses. Thank you for all the prayers and concern.

My room was dark and the only light was from the monitors and a crack in the door.

As I turned my head to the left I witnessed the most beautiful sunrise.  There was a reflection of light from the door on the glass plus a small little white light from the sunrise. And for about a minute the was an illuminated cross on top of the mountains.

It only last a short time before the sun’s rays moved to their next destination. I was so lucky to have seen it. It was dramatic. I knew God was with me.

The surgery went well. I have an incredible team with me. The nurses overnight and during the day, stellar. I’m truly blessed.

Now some days to recoup. Hopefully I won’t be too demanding on my home nurse (Mike).  Then the hard decisions start. About next steps.  I will put it all on God’s hands. He has a plan and I just need to see my part in it.

Thank you again.  I’m overwhelmed at the thoughts, prayers, encouragement, and texts. I’m so thankful for every one of them. 

I have to confess something.  I thought as the time of surgery drew nearer that I would start to panic and have anxiety. But it didn’t happen.  That is a HUGE triumph for me.

I knew God had this and I had all of you praying.  I realize now that when you tell someone you are praying for them, there is power and majesty behind the words.

I’m so blessed. Beyond measure. Thank you once more.
