~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~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 2. Chubskulit 3. Fifi Flowers 4. Candy @ The Little Round Table 5. Nostalgic Marveling 6.

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.
ReplyDeleteSally, 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!

ReplyDeleteHi Sally,
ReplyDeleteYou 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.
