I would like prayer today....

8 weeks ago I had surgery on my leg-just above my knee)- by my skin cancer doctor....(the same one who did my ear)

My regular GP had done the initial surgery and thought he got all the margins, but this doctor said further surgery was necessary because they didn't get all the margins.

It seemed a simple surgery....but with lots of stitches.

5 weeks later I returned because it looked funny and sorry (pus) was coming out of little pin holes.

He said I had a kind of allergic reaction to the sutures?

Jemian & I compared notes and it seemed we had the same thing.

However, my understanding was to go home, forget about it and carry on with life, exercise, etc.

But here it is 8 weeks after surgery.....3 weeks after my last visit, and it still looks wicked.

I called a few minutes ago....They're working me in this morning.....

I don't know if there's a simple solution.....or will they have to reopen the surgery site....or what?

I have confidence in God that even this, He knows and is sovereign.

I truly covet your prayers...

This thing is unsightly and irritating.

Thanks!

Guennie, kay, ps... I'll be praying for each of you as you go; for God's healing hand and power because He knows all things and is absolutely sovereign.

ML... Happy, happy birthday to you.
