a seemingly faraway God do in our everyday lives. Yet, when the cost of a brain surgery had been reduced to nothing, there is no dispute from me: this is God’s doing.
THE STORY CONTINUES Now that the worst is over, I live knowing that there will be challenges that I might have to face for the rest of my life.
In the grand scheme of things, God has given me a second chance to live life right, to walk on His straight and narrow path. Each day I have with family and friends is a blessing from Him. But much more than that, I now have a story to tell and a desire to tell it to anyone who would listen. All glory to God!
Despite an “overwhelmingly successful” surgery (as my neurosurgeons proclaimed) the remaining tumor is still in my head. It’s unlikely to grow again but frequent MRIs will be needed to monitor for any potential growth. I’m also undergoing a one-off radiotherapy session to control and curb any potential growth. The back of my head, where the surgeons operated, is numb and will likely be that way for the rest of my life. Moreover, I cannot hear out of my right ear. That said, life has really started to pick up. I’m back at work with colleagues that continue to bless me by taking on additional assignments. This gives me more time for radiotherapy, my family, and rest. I thank God for such understanding colleagues. I also thank God for my carecell. Though our schedules haven’t lightened up, and we are not always able to attend every carecell activity, we now try our very best to be there. We are so appreciative and thankful for how great they are – then and now. 3 7
