Waiting

I have expanded the blogging with a picture. (Sorry, it is so gross!) The bruising is going away and the steri-strips are starting to loosen. The draining is lessening, but still annoying. No way are people suppose to have hoses come out of their bodies. It is mildly uncomfortable and I am totally concerned about somehow pulling it out.
My upper arm is numb and often I can't tell exactly what it is touching. Today, while I am sitting still my arm will start feeling weird. It is like a clawing from inside or my other favorite feeling a gazillion teeny tiny ants stinging me.
I am ready for my appointment tomorrow with the oncologist. I want to get started on the treatment, so I can get this over. I am not good with this kind of patience. God knows I can be patient with children, I can be patient living in a construction zone, I can be patient saving money for a special purchase, and I can even be patient paying off a bill dollar by dollar. This waiting has been torture for me. I have a feeling that God is going to be giving me lots of opportunities to learn patience. I hope to be a quick learner.
