What a ride....

It sure has been a ride folks...

I have been waiting for knee surgery... and my knee has basically just stopped working. I can get around a little with the brace on, but it really hurts.

I stopped working Tuesday... just can't do it anymore, period. Ground (literally) to a halt. Boss says if the job is still open when I get the knee fixed I can have it back... otherwise, adios.

So, got my clearance on Wednesday from the regular doc for surgery , and the surgeons office said it would be at least another month or 5 weeks until I can have surgery... this guy is popular I guess...

Yesterday I called the surgeons office and tried to explain my dilemma... no job, money running out quick, and waiting a month or more just to get the surgery then follow that with a 6 week minimum recup period... anyway, not a good thing. I was transferred around 4 times, and finally ended up talking to "Kim" She sure sounded like she was in charge... listened to my problem, said she would confirm my surgery date as October 6th, but would put me on the cancellation list. I thanked her and resigned myself to waiting... and praying for a cancellation.

Just got a call .... get to the hospital immediately for lab work, and my surgery is Monday!

Nervous, but man, happy too!

Marc, as your signature line says, To everything is is a season. This is now your season and it is here. Hence the cacellation for Monday.

May God be with you during your surgery and rehabillatation. I pray that God keeps you in the circle of His loving and healing arms and brings to you peace, understanding and most of all complete healing. May He also keep the medical staff in His arms and give to them knowledge and compassion.

Please keep us posted on how things do since we care a lot for you my chosen brother. I am not sure why I said chosen brother since I never had a brother that I didn't choose. lol

Love and hugs to you and of course continuted prayers.

                    It's not what you gather, but what you scatter 
                        that tells what kind of life you have lived.

Marc,

Good for you. Pain sucks, waiting sucks, and so does no income. Praying worked in your favor.

Be nice to the nurses and follow the doctor's orders.

Will somebody tell us how you are doing? We worry and that's no fun either.

Big Sisterly HUG!!!!!

Aloha big brother.....Well, your post just gave me "chicken skin." While reading it, I felt sad, and then the last part made me smile from ear to ear and to be very thankful.

I hope everything goes smoothly and that you are pain free very very soon!

Aloha nui loa,

Maui Karen
