Well, most of you know all the latest news. This is more of the auxillary blog. More faithfully posts go up on caring bridge (www.caringbridge.com/visit/adambonner), and so I don't necessarily have to post everything here. This is mostly where I post when I feel like it, which, it is apparent, is not too often.
But I do feel I must share the latest news personally. Over a week ago, I spent some very unpleasant time in an MRI machine (stop me if I've told you this before. It feels like I have). It was not something I'd like to do every day. My personal journal tells it better than I can. . .

"A joyous day! Yesterday I sat inside the MRI donut for almost an hour listening, as it were, to the sounds of buses and trucks honking and passing at full speed, feeling their winds blowing by me, all in the comfort of the donut. Headphones were placed over my ears to play music and dampen the sound of the instrument which proved to be quite noisey.
". . . I chatted with the good doctor, who informed me that my MRI results were in already. I almost didn't want to hear the news, but we have all been praying for a good outcome, and we were reminded at prayer meeting the other night that God delights to answer our prayers with "yes", and that the Holy Spirit prays for us, and God the Father delights to answer the Spirit's prayers for us. Praise be to God! His answer was "yes". (Although we should also have been content with a "no", it would have been much harder).
No vascular involvement!
No bladder involvlment!
No prostate involvement!
This can only be the work of God! In fact, my lymph nodes have shrunk down further yet since after my CT scan. This is all very good news, and we rejoice.
Well, there it is. I figured I wouldn't be able to write it as well if I started from scratch. Don't ask me to open the rest of my journal to you . . . it's personal stuff, and I won't ask for yours either. . .
Hmmmmm. What could be in your journal? I can tell you what's in mine lately.... NOTHING!! :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAdam. Perhaps your ordeal has mitigated enough to make you want to visit your blogspot. I hope so. It's been a long haul, and there is still some hauling left to get through.
ReplyDeleteLast night we watched an old movie on TCM. Your name came up. In fact the main character, an assistant prosectuting attorney, played by Spencer Tracy in this 1949 court drama, was named Adam Bonner!
It's a good story, and not only because Adam Bonner did a very good job.
Get well soon. There are a lot of subjects out there that need to be photographed.
Love,
Uncle Henk
