Good Reports
I spent the morning in Hershey, but no chocolate was involved. Bummer. The good news is that I had my big test done to see if things were in proper working order for surgery. Nothing official yet, but lets just say my body seemed to operate as appropriate. WOO HOO. I signed all the dotted lines, got all the prescriptions for pre-op and seem to be right on track for January 27th.
In my travels from one end of the Hershey facility to the other for my appointments these past couple of months , I have ended up passing the ICU area several times. These travels brought back some really tough memories of a summer spent back and forth between home and the hospital when my friend Dave had his accident. It was a really scary time...but another moment in my life that I saw what an amazing family of friends I had made in college. That waiting room held a lot of memories. I also saw how God can turn a seeminglly hopeless situation into a miracle.
I started reading my new book, Blue Like Jazz while waiting between appointments this morning and flew through 86 pages. I'm loving this book. Donald Miller is coming at Christianity or Christian Spirituality (the term he prefers) from a "nonreligious" perspective. At first I did wonder what that would mean from him. It makes sense to me...although I also think religion can be good, too... I'm finding that everything I've read so far is really thought provoking. Perhaps I'll give a review when it I am finished.
Well, I'm off. I plan to make use of a couple of movie gift certificates that Karen gave me for Christmas. They are burning a hole in my pocket. : ) Possibly a double feature...Life Aquatic then Finding Neverland???
