Prayer Needed

Today when the nurse came there was alot of pain yet again.  She said she cannot see any reason it should be so painful for me.  She has covered everything with the vasoline gauze and it appears that the tissue is growing through it and sticking badly.  There is one main spot that has been the problem all along and it continues to be the hard place.  She said she didn’t want to hurt me any more and went back to a wet to dry packing…regular gauze, with no suction.  She wanted me to call the doctor and see what she wants to do.  I did and they said to keep doing the wet to dry packing everyday until I see the doctor next Thursday and if it is small enough they can possibly put in some stitches.  That would be the quickest way now that the tissue is healing so quickly. 

The concern is that if it isn’t healed enough my chemo could be delayed again.  Also the open wound just plain hurts…it is uncomfortable and I don’t like waiting for it to get better.  It really is healing fast according to everyone but to me it seems so slow.  Tonight at church I was reminded that God’s timing is perfect and that I have no idea why he is allowing this apparent delay but he knows and his plan is perfect timing every time.  So I choose to wait on him…
