My daughter had a TMJ treatment today and something went wrong with the electrode massage. The side of her face is swollen to the point that her eye is half shut and it is blood shot. Please pray that the swelling would go down without permanent damage.
Dad is waiting on biopsy results from a mole. If it is cancer, he will have surgery next week.
My upper & lower G.I. are next Wed. and Dad was supposed to take me. God will provide!
Dad's surgery was halted. They discovered that he has a melanomia tumor in addition to the basal cell growth. Surgery will be rescheduled with reconstructive surgery included.
Tomorrow he gets a CT to see how far down his cheek and how far into his sinus cavity the tumor goes. It looks small, but looks can be deceiving. I just have a hard time wrapping my mind around them opening his face up and then rebuilding his nose.
He has had the preliminary stress tests and all that he is healthy enough for this kind of surgery, but he's 75... He's a believer and trusting God. I'm the one wanting to tell my Heavenly Father what He needs to do for my earthly daddy.
I know this isn't really the same, but I had sinus surgery 4-1/2 years ago. The surgeon (who was SO AMAZINGLY GORGEOUS!!!) ripped out all of the cartilage in my sinuses and shaved down all of my nasal/sinus bones into a slimmer physique. It was basically a nose job on the inside. The pain afterwards felt very similar to a broken bone (like my whole face felt like a broken bone)... which is bad, but tolerable and does go away in a few weeks.
While you're on your knees... Sandiaboy's department at work is being reorganized. He has several options. He can stay where he is. He can transfer to CO, or he can apply for another position where he is (no guarentee he'd get it). Please pray that God would unmistakenly show him His will. Sandiaboy is trying to sort through which thoughts are his will and which thoughts are God's will.
I know part of the problem is that his parents are aging, and if they need regular care, he doesn't think that CO is a good place to move them. Also, he's not really wanting to move north because if our relationship continues, the Rockies and my arthritis may not make friends. I tell him he needs to determine God's purpose for his life. Then, God will take care of the rest of us.
