The Results Are In ...

I laid in my bed last night praying and it occurred to me that I needed to call the next day to get my biopsy results.   I started to automatically pray for the people who were conducting the tests and that the results would be good but I got distracted.  I had a hard time shaking the realization of how relaxed I was.  I don't know if I was just really tired or what.   I realized that I wasn't in the least bit worried over the possibility that I might have prostate cancer.   I spent my remaining waking minutes thinking about how at peace I was with the whole deal.  On my way to work this morning I thought more about my state of mind and I know for a fact that it has come from all of the prayers of my friends and family.   Part of it I'm sure is also a side effect of knowing that we are all mortal and will leave this world one way or another, and I know what's on the other side and it doesn't scare me in the least.   It's a strange thing to think that you know how you are going to check out, only to have it changed by a potentially other scenario.  These are strange things to think about when I don't feel as if there isn't anything wrong with me besides I'm old, overweight and bald.   I'm thankful every day that I have my own kidneys and the worst thing I have to deal with is to take my blood pressure medicine every night. 

Sorry, I got distracted from the reason I chose the title of this post.   So, I finally got a hold of someone at the oncology clinic where I had my biopsy done.   She looked my results up and out of the 12 samples that they took out of my prostate, ALL of them were benign.    She said I was all clean, besides having a slightly enlarged prostate, they didn't want to see me back at the oncology clinic again.  

Praise the Lord that I'm back to having just one major health problem and that one is slow moving and hopefully far off in the future.  

Again, I can't thank everyone enough for their prayers they were definitely felt.
