What’s Next? Part II

Sometimes, things that happened are just too good to be true but in no way am I implying that God renegade on His promises. I thought I was on the mend as far as the pain and discomfort is concerned but 2 days ago, 22nd July, the pain came back with a vengeance and it was simply gnawing at me. The morphine did not help and I had doubled the amount of morphine that I was supposed to take. The antacid, other medications and various sitting and laying down postures did not help either. It was quite excruciating. I was on the verge of admitting myself to TTSH just because of the pain. Josie and I, we prayed and I prayed as well and I am not blaming God against anything but this time the pain simply did not go away or subside sufficiently for me to be marginally comfortable. Needless to say was that I hardly slept at all that day and it was not until about 5:00 am on 23rd July that the pain subsided sufficiently enough for me to have a half decent sleep.

Tuesday continued to be quite bad but I guess I had dosed myself sufficiently with morphine that I was able to manage some routine activities. Praise God that today was fantastic compared Monday but I do not wish to be overly optimistic at this point but to continue to monitor my condition especially since I am supposed to have my chemotherapy on Friday. From the lack of rest, I am not sure if the body had produced sufficient platelets for the chemo to proceed.

I ask that you pray that:
a) The pain and discomfort will stay away.
b) The body would product sufficient platelets so that chemo can proceed on Friday.
c) For the chemo, that there will be no side effects.
d) Nathan will behave so that Josie will have less things to hassle over.
e) God will sustain Josie.

God is good and I believe this is one instance where He really showed that He will not allow us/me to bear beyond what we could bear. I firmly believe that if the pain had not subsided on Tuesday, I would probably had collapse from the pain or at least admit myself into the hospital.

In God We Trust and in Christ alone my hope is found.
