Hives are back! I have never seen something appear and reappear like this. It continues to be the worst on my face, but really they are everywhere. We are going on the better part of eight weeks, so this is definitely getting old. We changed medications late afternoon today, so we’ll see what the next few days bring. Pray for relief and permanent disappearance!
I scheduled surgery for the hardware removal. I had hoped to wait until later in December, but my surgeon was already booked. Obviously, her skills are in demand.
We are going to do it on November 20th (Tuesday before Thanksgiving) – there wasn’t a lot of choice in timing … so much for my after Thanksgiving shopping. It is outpatient, no cast, and full weight can be put on it right away. It is a metal plate and 4 screws that the Chicago orthopod will remove. We will likely do immediate follow-up care in St. Louis. It is supposed to be a small procedure, but start praying now that it is simple & nothing else gets altered. We are not taking all the hardware out … only what is bothering me. The hardware is not needed; as it has been in for over a year & is fully the inside area is totally healed.
I’m in Tampa for a work conference November 12-15th and have six visit days with students during the first two weeks in December. I’m speaking to a large group of kids at E-Free on Sunday. I read today that prayer is God’s opportunity to work – neat thought.

Too bad about the sooner-than-hoped surgery and even MORE about missing the after Thanksgiving sales--hey, maybe you can get somebody to go WITH you and push you around in a wheelchair--the crowds will part for you like the parting of the waters at the feet of Moses! That'd be a neat trick! AND your scheduled surgery is acutally on my sister's birthday, so it will be easy for me to remember! Thinking of you! Laura and family
