It's a gift...


Today was a day of moments. I went to Stanford Medical Center to undergo a nerve transfer from my Latisimuss Dorsi to my deltoid muscle in my shoulder. It is a very complex surgery... I begins with the harvesting of the nerve from you leg to extend the nerve from your back to your shoulder then taking the healthy nerve and plugging it in to the shoulder (deltiod) muscle. So as I am going under I say to the doctors, that I have been praying for an elegant and effective healing. So I wake up and I notice a pain in my arm, not my back. The Dr. went into the old harvest sight and found healthy nerves were there were compromised nerves before, so, she took one, plugged it into my shoulder and I was out of surgery in an hour. The Dr. said that she didn't know how the nerves were good now, maybe I was too cold before, certainly a gift. I just think God is elegant and I love him for it a gift from His hand is good, really good.
