Sinus Surgery....

Well, its the night before my sinus surgery!! I'm so excited to see if this will give me the relief I NEED from the constant cycle of infection! I'm not too nervous about the surgery but then again I don't usually get nervous until right before things happen. Mainly because I'm good at just not thinking about things until they are happening. (not sure this is the most healthy thing but it keeps worry and anxiety down in my life) Anyway, I'm just really hopeful! Which is an emotion I haven't been feeling much lately especially as I take my medication for the 75th day in a row and feel the two hours of nausea coming on just as I begin my day of teaching. Those are the moments when I'm feeling completely discouraged and that there is no end in sight. The verse in 1Thessalonians always comes to my mind when I feel myself losing hope "be joyful in hope, patient in affliction and faithful in prayer. " At this point in my life this verse seems so much harder than it ever has before...hmmm, funny how that happens. Anyway, thankfully my incredible mother is here tonight. She offered to come and stay with Jeremy and I for a week after my surgery!!! Wow, I'm so thankful for my mom...she is ALWAYS there for me! Jeremy is also off work for a week to help me out and be with me! This brings me total peace and comfort. The surgery is supposed to take about 3 hours and then I can go to recovery for a bit before going home as long as everything goes well. My God is with me!!! Ill update you as soon as I can! Thanks for all your prayers!!
