Plan of Attack

Today was doctor day! I got to meet a very nice plastic surgeon today. I’ve never been to a plastic surgeon’s office before. It’s very different than any other doctors office, at least this one was. It was more like a spa. The place I initially met the doctor had warm colored, comfy couches, with a beautiful coffee table and peaceful pictures on the wall. He came in and talked about the options and drew pictures and explained things. Then I went to the examination room, where they gave me a thick, warm bathrobe to put on. It was soft and lovely. Why in the world don’t all the doctors give those out? It made me feel special and unique, rather than a number on a chart. Ok, ok, I know, plastic surgeons have to “sell” their services. They want women to feel “cared for” and “pampered” when they come in. Can I just say IT WORKS! For a brief few seconds it let me think I was getting a deluxe pedicure or a massage instead of discussing reconstruction of a body part.
Saw the breast surgeon today too. They picked a date. January 29. Next Tues. Seems really soon to me, but everyone seems to be in a big hurry. The cancer has shown up so fast they don’t want to give it time to travel farther than it has.
Today my devotion said “When we trust the power of God, we experience peace, and not panic.” That’s what I’m concentrating on, but I will admit I am failing in that right now. My strength has left me, and for now, my weakness has overwhelmed me. Even David cried out to the Lord “Be my rock of refuge, a fortress of defense to save me. For you are my rock and my fortress; therefore, for Your name’s sake, lead me and guide me.” Psalm 31:2-3
Tomorrow I get a new bed. I’ve been wanting one for months, mine is a cheap saggy thing. I went and ordered one of the sleep number beds and then got a memory foam top for it. It is ridiculous that a new bed is such an exciting thing to me right now, but I can’t wait.
