Follow Up Surgeon's Appointment

Hello All,

I had another appointment with the surgeon today to check up on the healing of the wound. The swelling has come down significantly. There is still a good amount of swelling in different areas. It still doesn't feel normal and she told me the areas that were still swollen.

It seems that the abnormal, crazy swelling that i had last week caused a few stitches to be pulled. She said the wound is looking ok, still swollen but definitely improving. She said that the wound will take a little longer to heal with the few stitches that have been pulled by the swelling but that there is enough stitching in place to hold it. She said that it will heal much better once the rest of the swelling goes down because the swelling is still pulling at it. I need to rest up and not return to work. It could be another 6 or so weeks until it feels better and is healed....or a little longer depending on how quickly the swelling goes down.

I am walking now rather than waddling and my pain relief has been decreased. I know it will continue to improve.

Well, dinner is ready! Everyone at camp sunshine, I a lot of fun!! I wish I was there :-)

Love Charisse

Continuing to pray!
Romans 8:31-34 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

Sending you love from Camp. So wish you were here, but i know you will come another year. There are two adult twins here who remind me so much of you! You will have to meet them some day.

I'm glad your pain is decreasing. Keep taking it easy and you will heal!

Stopping by to let you know I'm still here praying!
Romans 8:35, 37-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?...Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Still here, still praying!
Psalms 70:4-5 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified. But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.

The Scriptures are full of such amazing and comforting passages. This is one of the best. Hope they are full of comfort and know I'm here praying!
Job 19:25-27 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

No matter what needs to be faced in life, our thoughts should always be on the Lord. True help comes from Him alone! Praying!
John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
Luke 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

Colossians 1:12-14 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

Know that you're in my thoughts and prayers!
Romans 14:7-9 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

Know that I'm here praying right now!
When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
