"For your Father knows what you need before you ask him." Matthew 6:8
I wanted to share how the Lord has worked in my medical situations over the past 2 or 3 months. I have had problems with the lymphedema in my arm since spring. I did a demo with a machine called the Flexitouch in June. I will finally get it delivered to me with no cost tomorrow!I have been on several "rabbit trails" trying to find someone to help me with the expense. I was originally told I was out of network and my insurance would not pay. So I tried private non-profit cancer organizations and came to a dead end. Then I did a demo with another pump that was in network, just not as good as the Flexitouch . The next day I received a call saying that my insurance would pay for the Flexitouch, the machine I wanted! They even worked it out to waive the remaining balance so that I could get the pump with no charge to me! So many of you have been specifically praying with me for this and I thank you so much! I was tempted to think that if I had just stuck with the original plan in June that I wouldn't have had to wait so long to get it. But then the Lord showed me that every path He took me down during this process has led to a blessing that I wouldn't have had were it not for going on the "rabbit trails"! The local non-profit organizations could not help with the pump, but gave monetary assistance with medical bills. The lady who did the demo with the other pump told me my compression sleeves shouldn't be so loose after just 3 months. So they called the company and they are sending 2 new sleeves to replace the ones I have now! Then as the Lord pulled me back on the Flexitouch path, I was able to get this machine without any cost to me at all! It has been an amazing experience seeing how the Lord uses "rabbit trails" for my good.
I am having my next to the last Herceptin today. I will finish 3 weeks from today! I hope to have the training nurse out to set up my Flexitouch this week, so I can begin to do the lymphatic drainage that should reduce the swelling in my arm and allow me to decrease the amount of time I wear compression garments.
Thanks again for all your prayers!
