Still in Suspense

 It is now April 23.  tests were done April 6, and still my doctor at Kaiser has not contacted me regarding what this lump is and what do we do about it. I have a call in to her but she has been mum so far.  I just now read about the correlation between PD and melanoma.  I am beginning to diagnosis myself and it is not good.

So I will instead place my hope in the Lord.

My only concern is 'who will take care of my husband?' if not me?  Since his stroke two years plus ago I have been his sole caregiver.  All of his care is my sole focus.  Only the Lord can undertake for us.

It is not as if we are alone in this situation:  there is a couple living a block over who, if anything, are in a much worse plight than ours.  No one to care for them and he, who was her caregiver, has not broken his hip and has several other problems that she is not able to help him with.

Please hear our prayers, O Lord. Thank You for the Hope and Peace that passes understanding.  I know that You are in control of our lives and will be with us through it all.

God Has Made a Way

 God will make a way when there seems to be no way: He works in ways you cannot see.  He will make a way for me. He will be my guide, hold me closely to His side, He works in ways I cannot see and He will make a way for me. Now after my second infusion of some wonder drug that is immunotherapy for my now-confirmed melanoma which has metastasized, I am still couched in the strange Christian phenomenon that we refer to as 'the peace that passes understanding'. Almost none of the dreaded side effects have occurred so far; tightness in the chest -- very uncomfortable -- was immediately conquered by Nurse Lisa's full on attack with some magical steroid,  and nothing else has arisen.   The steroid amazingly made my Parkinson's symptoms disappear and for the first time in YEARS I feel NORMAL!!  I don't know how long that will last but I love it!   Kaiser has been incredibly efficient, kind, and comforting.  Thank you, Kaiser Fresno. And I thank God ...

Suspense...

 Several days have passed, plus several other tests, with no diagnosis announced as yet.   All indications that I can see daily pronounce me doing very well, feeling better than in a long time, and enjoying a fair amount of physical and mental activity capped off by 7-8 hours of deep, refreshing sleep nightly. Several friends have faced their own medical crises during this time and, grateful to say, all are holding their own -- making their stand -- surrounded by prayer support from their faith family.  Where would we be in our vulnerable seventh and eighth decades without the aide and comfort of prayer -- our own and others'?
