Master Plan

Yesterday morning, I called Dr. Morris' office to remind the office staff that I wish to be on the cancellation call list. After a few moments on her end, she says "I have a cancellation for tomorrow in Federal Way. Do you want it?" I wanted to reach through the phone...

I saw Dr. Morris this morning for a pre-surgical consult. My dear friend Alicia went along to take notes and provide a second set of ears. 30 minutes later, he told me that his assistant would be calling me within the next few days to schedule the surgery. He estimated the surgery would be in two to three weeks. I thanked him for his time, gave Alicia a hug, and came home. Excited for this last step to be done and a little on edge that this was it, I look forward to scheduling the appointment.

A call came at 4:45 this afternoon. Surgery is scheduled. Surgery is Wednesday 4/21. NEXT WEEK. I have been on the phone all day. I cannot even begin to describe what I am thinking; what emotions are going through my head. I am...processing.

Already, with my sister's help, I believe we've developed a childcare plan for 11 straight days. Amazing! I will be calling in favors from those of you who have offered your help, so stay tuned; your phone will be ringing! I'll be asking for meals for my husband and childcare, visiting while I'm in the hospital, and anything else that pops into my brain.

While Kate was napping, I went out on the porch and soaked up the sunshine. I talked to God, as I have been doing a lot lately. Naturally, there is this little voice..."is this the right course of action"? God tells me yes. Why else would He have put everything on a high speed track for me? I cannot keep going the way I have been the last 4 months. The medication ISN'T WORKING. My spasticity is getting worse day by day.

This pump has to be the answer in this regard of my MS. This pump is part of the Master Plan.
