Medical February

Why does it seem that every January comes medicals and then in February for the past couple of years, Jack is in the hospital having stones removed. We were laughing about how time has flown by since his last surgery and even then we were confused as to which surgery it was and how long he was in the hospital. The hospital pre-admission clinic sent out his forms and when he opened the envelope they were for a woman...good thing that we has had time to get the right forms.

With this surgery the doctor ordered blood matching just in case he needs a transfusion and then they gave him a medical wrist band...too which most of the information has come off with having taken a shower or 2! You would think that the admissions department would give him the new bracelet upon being admitted at the hospital. So on Tuesday, Jack will be have a 1 inch kidney stone surgically removed from his right kidney. Prayers are always needed during this time as the unknown is out there.

I too would ask for some prayers as I also went for my physical last week and then for follow up tests (bone density & mammogram). And much to my dislike I received the phone call to come back for some various mammogram scans & an ultrasound....the dreaded call that all women hope they don't get. I'm telling myself that this is just a follow up to see something that I can't see or feel. So while my husband is recuperating in the hospital I will be at the lab getting re-analyzed. I know that I have to trust in God that he has these medical folks well trained in their medical profession to find/analyze anything and everything. God is Great.
