An unexpected visit to U of C

Well, we made an unexpected trip to U of Chicago as I was having some side pain with a little swelling that has been there for several months. Bottom line – he is leaning toward it being bleeding in the biopsy surgery site vs. lymphoma.
A CT scan is scheduled Aug 8 to see if any changes have occurred. My MD scratched his head a bit as well but to me that is good.
It was interesting to have my bone marrow test again. Very comfortable as my PA Jean assisted a physician doing her fellowship. Jean is a Christ follower and the only one on her unit. We talked and she said that people she works with are neutral on faith. Not antagonistic but bland on engaging or interest. As I laid on the table during the procedure the MD talked about my psychological adjustment and dealing with my transplant. I was able to very boldly tell her the truth – that God had given me peace about it. They are very bright people in medicine but ignorant in faith. My hope is that all in the room would witness Jesus.
A lesson I would pass along is to not be intimidated on presenting the truth for though many are smart, they are also ignorant and in need of the truth. Don’t let their position in life intimidate you from introducing them to the true source of eternal Life – Jesus.
