I know it's been long time since school for some of us but it's always good to learn new things to keep the mind sharp.
The word of the day today is.....
EPIDIDYMECTOMY
EPIDIDYMECTOMY
Care to take a guess at the meaning of this?
........Yes, your right. It is The surgical removal of the Epididymis.
What pray tell is an Epididymis??
The long-tightly coiled tube that lies above and behind the testicle. The Epidiymis is where the sperm mature and are stored until ejaculation.
To much information??
Sorry but it's part of our everyday life because Todd gets the pleasure of having his left one removed on Thursday. Did I make you squirm in your seat a little?? And why in Gods name would man put himself through it?? Well trust me it did not come as an easy decision!! For a few years he has been putting up with cysts developing in the epididymis. (ouch is right!) He has had some removed but they keep growing back. The pain and discomfort is becoming to much for him to take,even with a truck load of vicodin. So after much prayer and asking for guidance, he has made the decision to have the entire epidydimis removed to HOPEFULLY take care of the problem. There are alot of worse case scenarios that could take place if this doesn't work. I am not going to go into that right now because I have decided that I will not let my mind even entertain the idea of it.
We have alot of faith that God will take care of Todd!! I get asked alot if I am stressed or worried but....I have to say that I really am not. It's been a roller coaster of year for us in many areas and God has always been faithfull to us. All we have needed He has provided. Whatever it is that Todd needs to go through then we will be ok with it. I have learned so many times that our lives are not our own and being worried or stressed out doesn't do anyone any good. If anything it shows a lack of faith and I have never had more faith then I do in this time of my life!!
So please pray for the love of my life!! He can use all he can get right now. He will be off work for a month and yes money will be tight. But he gets vacation pay and disabilty so I think we will be ok.
See......God is already taking care and providing!!
Will I believe you when you say
Your hand will guide my every way
Will I receive the words You say
Every moment of every day
Well I will walk by faith
Even when I cannot see
because this broken road
Prepares Your will for me
Help me to RID my endless fears
You've been so faithful for all my years
With the one breath You make me new
Your grace covers all I do
Well I'm broken- but I still see Your face
Well You've spoken- pouring Your words of grace
Well I will walk by faith
Even when I cannot see
Well because this broken road
Prepares Your will for me
Hallelujah
Will I believe you when you say
Your hand will guide my every way
Will I receive the words You say
Every moment of every day
Well I will walk by faith
Even when I cannot see
because this broken road
Prepares Your will for me
Help me to RID my endless fears
You've been so faithful for all my years
With the one breath You make me new
Your grace covers all I do
Well I'm broken- but I still see Your face
Well You've spoken- pouring Your words of grace
Well I will walk by faith
Even when I cannot see
Well because this broken road
Prepares Your will for me
Hallelujah
