Challenging week ....

Unfortunately, I don’t have much more to share tonight. I am waiting for either phone calls or e-mails back from all three doctors (STL, Chicago, Dallas) and didn’t hear from anyone today. Pray that this happens tomorrow – Thursday. There are setbacks happening, which are substantial and I really need some answers to questions. These would be good things to pray for specifically tonight:
- Calmness – that I can handle whatever I hear for answers to questions.
- Faith – that I’ll remain strong, when it seems like things are going astray.
- Pain management – relief to get through the work week
- Courage
- Wisdom – to sort out medical advice & make sense of the situation
- Sleep – that it will resume & worrying will stop
- Job Peace – our office has cut jobs in the past several weeks & the possibility of losing a job (& health insurance) is more than I can handle at the moment.
- Pray that a huge past medical problem (still foot related) has not re-surfaced.

I realize this is still fairly vague, but things are not going as planned at the moment. I don’t understand any of it, so I’m not in a place to begin to describe it to anyone else.

Trying to be strong, remain patient, and make sense of negative new foot developments …. it has been a very challenging week. Hoping I’ll feel a bit better once several conversations have taken place w/surgeons ….. Thursday is a surgery day though for all three doctors, so pray hard that someone responds … will be a long weekend otherwise. KEEP PRAYING!

Hanging in there,

I AM praying, my dear...have been off and on all day. Your heart and your FOOT is on the brain! Know that no matter what is going ON with the foot, good or bad, it looks GREAT! Scars minimizing, swelling down, perfectly pedicured pansy pink toes positively pleasing! Ah, who am I kidding...you want a foot that is BOTH functional AND pretty! And I'm praying for B-O-T-H! I love you! L Jo (PS: Call if you need to, K?)

You know...waiting IS a bear! A large BLACK HAIRY BEAR w/ BIG TEETH! It's the pits. Still praying faithfully for your encouragement and for wisdom for doctors reviewing your case. Thinking of you at 5:55pm Thursday...just FYI. L Jo
