Now I am asking for some well wishes for my dad... and me.

Dad found out a few years ago that he has prostrate cancer. He had radiation treatment, and was in remission. Well, his PSA level has come back very high again, and today, he is going in to have some biopsies taken. He is very negative about the whole thing, and down in the dumps. My mom is trying to keep his spirits up. She keeps telling him that she beat colon cancer and he has beaten prostrate cancer in the past. Please pray that the doctors find what they need to remove and he is safe and at home soon. (It is being done outpatient.) My folks are in Florida, and my sisters and I are in Indiana, so they are there all alone. They will be home December 13 for the family Christmas, which is at my house this year!

And if you could, please pray for me as I am having surgery on Wednesday. I am having my right thumb/wrist joint rebuilt due to arthritis. I had my left one done a few years ago, and despite being in a cast for a month, I did fine. My challenge with this one is that I am so right hand dominant. But I have been practicing using my left hand. The worst is trying to style my hair! My folks wish they could be here for me, but they have their own things that they are dealing with and they will be here in a few weeks anyway.

Thank you for your prayers. They are truly appreciated.
I'm sorry to hear that your dad is negative about his situation but it's certainly understandable. I know someone who has had prostrate cancer for years and years and is doing great, so your dad can as well but as we know, a good attitude helps immensely. This is certainly stressful on you w/your upcoming surgery, so we'll keep the prayers going for all of you. Keep the faythe.
