Enjoying being "Grammy" and "Nanny". Look forward to weekly visits with my bus kids and the ride to and from church on Sunday morning. Aware that many little eyes may be watching me. I want to be a faithful example to them.

A Mountain to Climb

I have been down on myself for a long time about inconsistency.  I am a great starter but a poor finisher on most things.  Blogging is a good example.   Although, there was a time when I faithfully blogged most every morning.  I am so glad I did.  It has given me more insight into my frame of mind the couple of years before my husband's death.  Hopefully, I can use this blog to help me voice my feelings during this next chapter of my life.

This past Friday (1-18-19)  I was given some news I was not expecting.  To back up, on November 30th of 2018 I had some indication that things may not be right with me from a health standpoint.   I immediately made arrangements to go to an OB-GYN doctor to have things checked out.  Last Tuesday I had a Hysteroscopy and D&C with Myosure procedure done.  The doctor
removed a polyp and cyst and took  a biopsy of some problematic places in my uterus. 

I have always been healthy and I don't sit around thinking that something is wrong with me all the time.   So, my expectation was that Dr. Green would call me the end of the week and tell me everything was okay.   Instead, she informed me that I have endometrial cancer and that the next step is to do a hysterectomy.  After that, determination would be made towards further care if needed. 

To say I was blindsided would be correct BUT I am not depressed or distraught about this.  I am quite aware that my time here on earth is in His hands and I trust my Heavenly Father with my care. 

The first thing that comes to my mind is Miss Kitty...I feel like I need to find her a happy home because of the possibility of being away for surgery and recovery.  Every time I have gone to Mississippi for a visit she has been cared for in my apartment.  I did that, hoping that it would be less stress on her.  When I come home she will hardly let me out of her sight for a few days.  She is such a sweet girl.  She will lay beside my head and rub her paw on my face over and over!

She has been with me since she was 13 weeks old.  She will be 12 years old in May.  She is used to having the run of the house so probably wouldn't do well with children or other pets.  Her one big difficulty is shedding!!  MY, My....that girl is like a black cloud of cat hair!!! Brushing does not help.  I have often wondered how long I would have to brush before she quit shedding.  I am convinced it would never happen. 

I am aware that God cares as much about that cat as I do.  I pray that someone will come along that will love her and care for her well.

The next thing that comes to mind is my bus route.  I love those bus children and want to know that someone else will care for them too.  I fear that with doctors appointments and surgery and recovery I will be out of commission for a while.  Praying for : Vicki, Gary, Logan, Lily, Astaria, Kyrin, Reba, Addyson, Isaiah, Jayden, Michael, Myles, Marya, Omauri, Jakayla, Devario, Leondre, Joshua, Tristen, Jaxyn, Rylin, Samantha, Aubrey, Ava, Mimi, Jnaiah, Ava, Kiki, Kayden, Alex, Erica, Mariah and Mackenzie!!  I love these sweet children and adults!  I pray that Gary and Ben and Whitney will continue to work!

I pray that the next few months will find me continuing to praise the Lord for all He has done and is doing!!
