Dec 14: The all consuming body

 My body has become a near all-consuming demander of my time. I am treating one set of symptoms 4-5 times a day. I'm juggling scheduling a surgery on the 20th and another 4 day hospital stay on the 29th for my pre-transplant infusion treatment (28 days total.) After the hospital stay, I'll get a stylish fanny pack to carry around an infusion pump 24x7 and multiple trips to BUMC to get it "recharged." Add doctor follow-ups, trips for prescription refills and it's a pain in the patootie. 

I have about 1700 mutant Philly+ cells/3M. That's very low, but the infusion should take that to zero. 

Good reminders shared with me for me today. 

Psalms 139:7-10 
Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, Even there Your hand will lead me, And Your right hand will lay hold of me.

Rom. 8:38-39
For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Blessings to you today; grace & mercy be upon you and yours.
