At the end of an absolutely frustrating day, one thing remains: GOD is GOD. I am not. For that I am grateful.

40 needle sticks in the past 2 months. The past several months have been full of hospital visits, needle sticks and endless doctors appointments. Unforcently, there have not been a lot of answers as to what’s causing me to be sick. It’s hard to believe but a month has passed since my doctor removed my gallbladder, thinking that was the problem. Sadly it didn’t resolve the health issues that have plagued me.
So what’s next? Monday I went though another round of tests that yielded no answers. Tuesday I returned back to the surgeon only to be informed we’re about to do yet another round of tests late this week or early next week. I’ll be having an Esophageal Manometry & 24-hour pH Study. From what I’ve read it doesn’t sound very pleasant, but these tests will determine if we move forward with major surgery.
10.20.9: UPDATE: The above mentioned procedure has been rescheduled for Monday, October 26th.
Please continue to pray. Pray for wisdom for my doctors. Pray for pain to be lifted. Pray for financial provision as all of these tests and multiple hospital visits have become expensive. Thank you to all of you who have called, left Facebook messages, brought food or spent nights with me at the hospital. Your love is priceless.

I’m excited to report my new diet plan is working well. In less than 6 weeks I’ve dropped 16lbs. Amazing huh? Now you’re probably wondering “what diet plan?” Let me introduce you to the “Get Sick, Have Surgery, Get Sicker Diet Plan.”
Three weeks ago I had my gall bladder taken out. I had 7 stones. You can now purchase them on CraigsList.
I’m sicker now than when we started. To date I’ve been stuck with 36 needles. While my body is “littered with tattoos” (as my dad would say) and I have “God awful holes in my ears” (he would say that too), the truth be told, I hate needles. My friend Mikey warned me of developing track marks. Those are going to be hard to explain one day when I’m a pastor.
I hate peeing in a cup. It’s even worse in cold bathrooms. If you ever want to decrease a man’s self-confidence simply hand him a cup and send him into a cold bathroom.
In all seriousness though, please continue to pray for my health. I should get some results later this week from 2 biopsies that were done. I’d like to avoid having another surgery, but at this point I’m willing to do whatever it takes to feel better. Thankfully I serve a God that is able to heal, that departs wisdom to doctors and can provide comfort even in a time like this.
