Visitor From the Past

This wasn't suppose to happen. This unwanted visitor wasn't ever suppose to come back. But here we are again staring one another down. Seven years ago I had surgery on my right leg. I defied odds the first time by gaining resuse of the leg and almost complet use of my big toe. It still has some numbness and I have a hard time finding shoes that feel comfortable. Now nearing on a decade later I have defied odds by having the same problem in the left leg. Only this time it was caught early because we knew what to look for and it doesn't appear I will lose a muscle this time around. I have shed some tears and prayed alot. I can see ways that the Lord is moving. He has made it possible for me to have the surgeon this time around as last, a man I believe may have samed my life if not my leg. I trust him knowing that he is familiar with my history and thus recognises that while my symptons are not typical of some who have developed compartment syndrom, he knows what I went thru last time and knows the best treatment option possible for me. If I had gone one more day without seeing him I would have needed to waited a week b/f I could have the surgery. Because the pain worsened last night instead of tonight, I was able to get into seeing Dr. Dunaway today and thuse schedule my operation first thing the next day, (tomorrow) which is the only time he does out patient surgery. Check in is at 9:30 a.m. and surgery is at 11:30 a.m. I covet your prayers. God is good all the time! All the time, God is good!
