broadway babes prayer

tonight, the broadway babes saw "The Wedding Singer" at the Palace Theatre in Columbus.
i always look forward to the monthly broadway excursion with my friends.
tonight the four of them held my hands and prayed for me.
tomorrow i have ANOTHER SURGERY!!!!
four years ago i had several lumpectomies and eventually a bilateral mastectomy due to malignant breast cancer that had made its evil way into my lymph nodes.
then i had surgery to get a chemotherapy port places in my chest wall.
two years ago i had a complete hysterectomy...
and tomorrow i will get my gallbladder removed.

i am brave.
i am not an anxious person.
but in the last five years, surgeries have brought bad news.
and so i guess i'm a little afraid.

Dr. Mong (HAHA - lots of words rhyme with mong - inside joke) will attempt to remove my gallbladder tomorrow without a huge incision. i'll let you know how it goes.

i'd rather have the love of friends than a million dollars.

You are such a very strong person and I have faith that this surgery will be nothing for you. But, I will pray for you as I know that prayers can never hurt.

Love ya!

I don't know you personally, but enjoy your work and being facebook friends. I'm praying for you and your surgery. You have a very encouraging testimony. God is good and will take care of you.
