Okay so I posted something about planning a funeral for Bob the Blob on Facebook and got a concerned message from a friend. Thankfully this is one funeral that I am not sad about at all. Remember the music minister from my last post? Well I was thanking him for praying that all the labs came back normal and telling him that there is still some uncertainty about the diagnosis that will only be answered by surgery. He said the next specific thing that he was going to pray for was an earlier surgery date (the first one was Nov 15). At this point I shouldn't be surprised that I got a phone call this morning from my surgeon's secretary saying a case canceled on Oct 18 and would I like to have surgery first thing next Thurs? Of course! To be honest I'm terrified, but the only way I will ever get to find out how worried I should be about Bob is by removing him...hopefully permanently.
Hmm...this experience has really made me think about the power of prayer.

Pretty darn miraculous. God can do what He says He can do. Including scheduling earlier surgeries, making lab values normal, and totally annihilating Bob the Blob!
Amen, sista! I'm sooooo glad to hear that they bumped up the surgery to next week! Fantastic!
God is good!
We will keep praying! I can't wait to see what He'll do next!
That's awesome! Things will go well, I know it!
I'm praying for you.
Charity, you will definitely continue to lift you up.
We praise God for answering prayer!

Charity, thank you for sharing your thoughts so well. You are truly seeing healthcare from "the other side", aren't you? We are all sending positive thoughts from the SON. Oct 18th is now officially "GoodBye, Bob the Blob Day". What color should we wear? Hang in there and keep collecting insights that will make you an even better MD!! Love, Beth
bob, get away from Ch! You are not welcome! Can't wait until you are waaaay away!
Love to you Ch!
If you had to play a song for the funeral march of Bob, what would it be? I must say that I'd sing anything to make it go away at this point in time. Let me know what is in order to entertain or distract on Saturday night okay? I am praying for God's hands to guide the surgeon and for HIS peace to cover your heart. Sheesh...this is truly an adventure in belief in God for me.
So what do I need to wear to the funeral? Colorful and cheerful? Good! Bye bye BOB. Bye bye!
I am excited that God has blessed you in so many ways. Great is they faithfulness, Oh God my father!
I agree with Suzanne in saying that this has truly been an adventure in belief and in God. Actually this has probably been the most difficult thing I have ever had to go through. You will be in my thoughts and prayers this week as you have been in the past several. I will be praying hard Wednesday and Thursday as you know me well enough to know that I will not sleep much. The good thing for the week is I only have to teach 4 days and will be able to come see you Friday and say as long as you would like me to.
Good News and I'll be praying for your surgery today! I know all things will go well. Down with BOB!
