Follow-up

So I've seen the doctor twice since the surgery, Friday and Monday. On Monday, Dr. Yoo says he's pleased with the progress and healing that's going on. The swelling is starting to go down and so is the pain. He has told me to stop icing but continue with putting the antibiotic 6x/day. I still take tylenol but not as often as before. On both visits, I could not see out of the the left eye. He assured me that I should be able to see out of it soon enough. Apparently the bottom eyelashes are still poking straight into my eyes causing some redness and discomfort. It hurts to even blink but I know it's starting to heal because it sometimes gets itchy. I can't wait to b e able to see I haven't been able to walk out for exercise because I'm afraid I'm going to trip on something. i hope I'll be able to wear contacts soon :-)


The last several days have brought so many friends to come and visit. They brought food, flowers, cards, gifts and lots of love and prayers. Mahal and I are overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support that have been sent our way. God has blessed us so much and I am humbly reminded that He is taking care of us and our needs. Last night, a very special family friend came over and during our visit she reminded us the God is with us every step of the way, even though we may not 'feel' He is around, He is there and He understands how we're feeling. I am so thankful for healing and for the great care I have been getting, from so many people.


And even as I am getting better, I received a call from a dear friend who told me she just got diagnosed with breast cancer herself. I felt so bad and wished I knew how to comfort her during this devastating time.  It is never easy to receive such bad news. She is very hopeful as the doctors have told her the cancer is at the very early stages. I hope for her sake that she does not have to have such invasive procedures done. I keep her and her family in my prayers and I ask that you remember her in your prayers as well. I hope I can be as good a friend to her as she faces her own journey through cancer as she has been for me through mine. Facing cancer is never easy and i am so glad that I can be there for her as she and so many others had been there for me. Truly, no man is an island, no man stands alone.
