Thyroid Update

First of all, thanks to all of you who have been praying for my thyroid condition. Our prayers were answered with, "Have the surgery" today. My dr. told me today that the ultrasound I had last Thursday showed that the biggest nodule had grown. So, ultimately, that means GET THAT THING OUT! I already knew in my heart that that would be what I would hear today. Not that I doubted God. Not at all. I knew God could heal me if He so chose. I just always knew in my heart that surgery would be in store for me. Please note, I hate pain. I hate the thought of putting my life in someone else's hands for a little while. I hate being put to sleep and not being concious of what's around me. I have some fears - of dying during the surgery or something like that, of the pain that will be involved - but I know that whatever happens is God's will for me. So therefore, on September the 5th I will be having my thyroid removed. Please pray its not cancer in there!! If so, I will have to take a radioactive iodine treatement which will put me away from everyone for a few days. I asked the doc if I would have to sit in a dark room alone and glow. He laughed. Please pray for us, especially Steve as he'll be dealing with the children for a while after this is done. Needless to say, pray for me please! I'm a pathological worry wart and I always imagine the worst (i.e. see above). I know God will handle things and I want His perfect will. But I would be lying if I didn't say I was nervous!!! :) Thanks again to all of you who have been praying. :)
