God is in the details...

For those of you who have asked...

My surgery is scheduled for 7:30, it will last about 2 hours for the mastectomy, and 2 hours for the reconstruction. I will be in recovery for an hour so, all said and done, it should be about 6 hours.

I will be in the hospital for 24-48 hours depending on my recovery and pain management. I know this seems short, but believe it or not your chance for infection actually increases the longer you stay in the hospital.

Yes, I will have a private room.

No, I will frankly not be up for visitors that are not family.

Yes, Jeff will let you know when I am coming home.

You have a great attitude towards this!

The best thing but the hardest, is asking God to make us stronger in him, help increase faith in him, and be more patient like him. Might not seem like it sometimes, but we are in the palm of his hand the entire time!
