A few of my brothers and sisters here know that I have had an ileostomy since 2001, which resulted in the surgeon finding cancer present. I was treated for the cancer and thanks be to God have remained cancer free for 7 years now, which I am told is the good marker date for the cancer being completely gone.
In 2003 I went in to seek a reversal of the ileostomy and thanks to God once again, I was laying the right way, and the surgeon found a fistula repair that needed attention first. So the reversal could not be done at this time.
Feb of this year I again consulted my surgeon about doing the reversal. I had 2 pre-required tests done, plus bloodwork. I was scheduled to go in for what is called a pre-op, local exam. This exam was so that the surgeon can see if any fistula or other problems were present that may need repaired, or if a reversal would be a go ahead.
A week prior to this pre-op exam, I came down with one of the viruses going around, so exam had to be cancelled. Was told to call to re-schedule when well. Thought I was well and was figuring on calling to set a new date. Then I come down with a sinus infection and a croupy cough. Get this cleared up again think of date to reschedule, and another virus hits, which again is followed by a sinus infection.
Now a week passes where all seems to be clear for me and my redneck suggests that I call and schedule this exam for around his vacation time so he can be home to care for me. Guess what? My chrons starts flaring up and again I contract another sinus infection.
I told my redneck and am starting to think myself that these flare-ups of illnesses may be Gods' way of telling me now is not His timing for me to have this reversal done? Is my will to have this done now becoming stronger?
I really need prayer to discern wills here. Please and thank you all very much.
Love, YSIC Diana
