Thankful

I'm thankful for lots of things. Here's a recent list. No particular order...just as they come to me:

1. Salvation and a Way to the Heavenly Father!
2. His grace in my life as I really need it sometimes.
3. His people. So blessed!
4. His provision.
5. My family.
6. The fact that we finally got our own internet connection!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving! Spend it with someone you love! Tell them you're thankful for them!

God Bless...and I'm thankful for you; for reading!

Surgery update

Hello all,

Just wanted to take a moment to fill you all (some for the first time...sorry) in on my upcoming surgery. Tomorrow morning (Monday) I'll go to the hospital here in Budapest for the "pre-op" stuff and meet with the anesthesiologist and get set for surgery on Tuesday. I won't have to spend the night on Monday.

I'm going to have a procedure called F.E.S.S. (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery.) I've got polyps and tissue completely blocking my ethmoid sinuses. Those are the ones right between the eyes. It's meant lots of headaches and frequent sinus infections. I've been dealing with this for about a year. They polyps were discovered last spring. So, they're going in to clean me out. Someone said it sounds like a "roto-rooter" procedure. That's kind of what they're doing.

So it's a relatively minor surgery and will only have to remain in the hospital for one night, then two weeks on "house arrest" after that. I've gotten a sub for my classes (pray for Marcus!) and my mom's even here to help take care of me! I really like the doctor and he's very patient with my many questions and he's said to be the best ENT in Budapest.

I should be back to e-mail/blog/facebook by Wednesday evening (Hungary time.)

Feel free to check my blog or Facebook for updates.

Pray that the surgery goes well, and for a complete recovery.

Blessings,
Erin
