The last couple of weeks have been interesting. Last Thursday I got a call telling me I was being reffered to West Mi Heart center. When I asked why they told me my pre-op EKG showed I likely had a heart attack in the last few years. WOW!!! That was when the anxiety started. They told me they had trouble with the machine during the pre-op so I doubted it actually showed a heart attack but they insisted on a stress test. As if I wasn't stressed enough I had my stress test on Friday. It consisted of Ultrasounds before and after a 6 minute "walk" on the treadmill. We tried getting results yet Friday but were unable to get any results.
Today was full of phone calls. The first of those was from my Primary Care Doc. They looked at the test and said I passed and said I was cleared for surgery. Next I got a call from the Procedure Prep department. They asked hundreds of questions from do I smoke or drink to do I feel safe where I am living. I answered them all to the best of my ability. They gave a surgery time of 10:30 with an arrival time of 8:30. This Thursday at 10:30 for roughly 4 hours I will be getting my Liver's right lobe removed in order to remove the Cancer in it.
I was supposed to meet with a cardiologist tomorrow to go over the stress test. Leah spent hours on the phone with my Liver surgeon, my Primary Care doc, and the office of the cardiologist. After all her back and forth phone calls the Liver Surgeon and Primary care Docs both clear me for surgery. The Cardiologist won't clear me without seeing me but I believe Leah convinced his office we would not be coming unless they called and insisted.
So for now T- 3 and counting.

I was convicted yesterday to hit the road! I had no idea this was all going on! God sent me out there! My first miles since the Marathon...Still a little sore but I ran anyways knowing God's voice would meet me. Your name was brought to my mind so I lifted it in prayer asking God to meet all your needs, Heal you frrom fear, strengthen your body to be strong enough to endure the surgery/ies, Give the Drs. Swift hands and clear minds. But most of all to Cure and Heal so the Name of Jesus will be exhalted! The Passage I have chosen Is John 4:46-54! Jesus Lives! Praying for this kind of Healing! Faith Moves Mountains! I know He will Give you all that you need to Climb to the Top of This One! Go Get EM! Know I will be hitting the road... I need new shoes hahaha!
