Reply #17: I agree. April sucks!

I leave tomorrow morning for the hospital for a hysterectomy. They're going to do a vertical incision since they found some grade 1 cancer cells in the uterine lining. So I'm stressed about that. I just got interrupted writing this message because a manager came and got me and several others to tell us that one of our coworkers Leukemia is back and they are giving him 2 wks if he doesn't take treatment, 2 months if he keeps up with transfusions or they don't know how long if they give him strong chemo and shock his system. I have another friend who was crushed by a truck at a loading dock. They originally thought she only had 3 broken ribs and some bruised organs, but they find now that her heart was damaged in the accident. Another coworker has begun treatment for lung cancer in one lung and asbestosis in the other. Needless to say, his prognosis is not looking good.

I am lifting us all up, everyone on this list and all that I know, in prayer since it sounds like alot of us are having a rough time. I figure when I'm in the hospital, I'll make the rounds and pray with my friends and the people who are in the room with them (if they approve).

I *REALLY* don't want to have this surgery tomorrow :( Oh yeah, and 4/13 is my 43rd birthday. I thought things were supposed to be going better than they are.
