The Plan

The plan

September 27, 2012 at 8:20am
Hey my people, just a quick note to explain the plan for today.
In a little bit I head into the hospital to have a new IV Port put into my chest. The plan is to use that port to get nutrition and fluids directly into my blood stream.  The reason for this is that I haven't been able to eat or drink much over the last few months and it's gotten bad enough that I need help fast.
The docs are very worried that they will not be able to get a new port into my chest because of old scar tissue and because I have lost so much weight that I don't have any fat for them to put the port into which just complicates things. Also because I am so dehydrated my veins are very fragile and that makes things harder as well.
This is a surgery I have had three times before so I’m used to it, but it’s a much bigger deal this time because of the complications.
Also last night I started sneezing on and off which is not cool because sneezing when you have fresh stitches in your chest in not going to go over well.
I am not able to take a lot of pain medication right now because I don’t have food in my system so recovery from today could be slow and hard.
All these things add up to the simple fact that God is going to have to just be the man in charge today so that all this can go according to His plan. I know that He is big enough and He can deal with all these little details.
Thanks for your prayers everyone. I will try and update when I can.
Whit
