Be sure to wish them a Happy Blue Monday!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~For several years, I have had chronic kidney disease, which means my kidneys don't function as well as they should. To complicate matters, a tumor was recently discovered in my left kidney. Further testing showed it to be cancerous. Therefore, I will have surgery this coming Thursday morning and would greatly appreciate your prayers.
I'm including a picture of me with my
Blue hair searching the internet for pictures of my upcoming surgery.
Because of the poor function of my kidneys, my surgeon will remove only part of my left kidney. He'll implement robotic assisted laparoscopy. Robotic-assisted laparoscopy is done through three small incisions, (partial nephrectomy). I found this picture of Robotic-assisted laparoscopy on the internet.
Notice, please the beautiful shades of
Blue in the operating room.
I love to laugh, and so I found a few cartoons with touches of Blue just for today.
I hope they give you a chuckle.
I'm trusting in Christ, and I honestly am not worried as I know He holds my future.
I've scheduled Blue Mondays in advance, so you can continue playing in the weeks to come.
I'll do my best to keep you informed.Happy Blue Monday!1. Jeanne, backyard neighbor

In the days of blogging our friends are universal. Good wishes from Australia.

Dear Sally, I was too tired to comment last night. I jumped out of bed just now and thought of you. You know I am praying for you dear friend and I was pleased to see the humor this morning. I knew this would be a hard thing to share. You are a Christian that has so much faith and I
admire you so much.
Blessings and love,
Jeanne
PS I was reading the comments and it is hard to see there are a few people that did not even mention what you shared about your health. I guess they don't read.
I will say a prayer. A good attitude is everything when facing a medical crisis-and you have one-you will do fine.
Sally, I had to come back and say you hit the nail (pipe) on the chin. That is seriously what is wrong with the captain. HA!
Love you, Jeanne
All the best, Sally. May you have a speedy recovery. God Bless. Loved the cartoons!
Hi Sally, rest assured of my prayers to your upcoming surgery. God bless!!!
Sally, so sorry to hear your news. I hope all goes well for you...Will be praying for successful surgery and quick recovery.
I hope everything will be alright. I include you in my prayers. God bless
Hi Sally,
You are so brave, and I like how you have used humor and your online resources to do some research on your own in dealing with your upcoming surgery. It does all seem a bit nerve-wracking.
I am praying for you, and I'm sure that everything will turn out well.
Hugs,
Kathy M.
Funny cartoons!:)

Sally, The entire world of Blog is pulling for you!!!!!
You are so calm about this. I see it is because of your trust in the Lord. With your positive attitude and faith, you will do well!! I just know!!

With love, blessings and prayer,
