Holding your breath!

by Jackie Houchin

 

I’m sorry this is late.

I forgot.

I had medical tests on my mind.

I had to get an MRI early Wednesday morning, and it was the only thing on my mind.

Not a fun experience.

But neither was the breast cancer surgery I had two years ago. This was merely a deep scan of my left side to see if….

I held my breath.

Things are different on that side of me now with scars and after radiation, so it’s hard to tell what’s okay and normal.

So I held my breath.

A message from Hoag Hospital…

“Benign.  No malignancy. Congratulations.”

Whew.  I let out a long breath.

Thank You, God!

I can breathe again.

Thanks for your patience.

First, I am a believer in Jesus Christ, so my views and opinions are filtered through what God's Word says and I believe. I'm a wife, a mom, a grandma and now a great grandma. I write articles and reviews, and I dabble in short fiction. I enjoy living near the ocean, doing gardening (for beauty and food) and traveling - in other countries, if possible. My heart is for Christian missions, and I'm compiling a collections of Missionary Kids' stories to publish. (I also like kittens and cats and reading mysteries.)
