Doctors out the kazoo...!

Just when we get good news about my post operative condition other pressing medical matters arise. I had a post ready about an interesting day yesterday talking to the Doobie Brothers manager about setting up a concert in Washington DC for Veterans Day. Somehow that lost it's meaning when Julie visited the doctor today. As she describes the situation in The Yellow Bug News
"It being National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month and all, I decided I'd check into a problem that presented itself Friday night. I won't mince words...there is a growth".
She is due to undergo an exploratory procedure next Monday, that hopefully will solve the problem. We ask your prayers as the day approaches.

As I learned on Wednesday, December the 22nd when Dr. Brown announced that he was going to "crack me open..pronto" acceptance is the key to one's serenity in cases like this. Acceptance that what is....is God's unfailing plan for us. I also learned that modern medicine is an amazing thing and if my experience is any indication we'll be looking back on these several months as just another of lifes trials that we must endure with as much grace as possible.
