Prayers, prayers, and more prayers! Steve and I need lots of prayers right now. We have so much going on in our life right now. Deployment is coming up soon and of course everything is still up in the air. I went to the doctor a week ago today and found out that my tumor is back in my ankle which means that I am going to be having surgery on this Friday, the 31st. I have so many emotions going on right now. I am scared and anxious and so much more. My mom will be here on Wednesday to help Steve take care of me and to be some extra support during my surgery. The doctor is not sure how serious the surgery will end up being. Although we know it will be bad we just don't know exactly how bad. They plan on going in through the back of my ankle. If they can not get all of the PVNS out from the back then they will go through my 2 previous scars. I am thinking that them going through the back of my ankle is going to be very painful. Think about it ... each step you take the back of your ankle bends and that is where she is going to be making the incision. To top all of this off we are in the process of packing up everything. We are going to be moving soon. We will be living right outside of Fort Riley. This will be much closer for Steve to go back and forth to work and I will be much closer to the doctor. I am going to have to have intense therapy after my surgery. This will make it much easier being that close to the doctor. I love this tiny town that we live in and will be coming back here for friends and such. Steve and I have prayed and we both believe that right now moving a little closer is what we are meant to do.
I can't wait to show my mom the town that we live in now. I have so many things that I want to show her and to do ... if only I was going to be able to walk.
Steve and I realize that in life we are blessed, very blessed. We also realize that things could be so much worse than they are but all we are asking for is when you are saying your prayers to say a short one for us. For deployment, for my surgery, for moving and for my mom having a safe trip out here.
We love you all
