Well we went back to see the neurologist today. Good news, He showed us the results from last weeks MRI and there has not been any growth in the lesion on my brain since the original MRI. The Stereo tactic radiation surgery is still scheduled for Wednesday and they believe that this will take care of the brain lesion. However, the doctor told me today that I have a mandatory 6 months time period of no driving and the brain damage done from the lesion will most likely cause me to have to be on seizure medicine from now on. it's a scary diagnosis not knowing if the City's insurance will allow me to go back to work even after the doctors release me. My job and my boss have been a great source of strength for me and the looking forward to getting back to normal has really helped me push on. So to find out that these may no longer be an option for me is very scary. Thankfully I have till February before I run out of sick and vacation time but I would like to know now what I have to look forward to on the job front. I would be more than happy to just go into the full time ministry with my music and band and not have to return to a secular job. Maybe that is what God is setting up. On a lighter note, Pam and I were sitting in the waiting room today, by ourselves, in a completely empty large waiting room, with approximately 100 chairs, and an older couple came in and decided to sit in the chairs that were directly behind us. I mean touching the chair I was sitting in. Then another older couple came in and sat down beside them. The waiting room was completely empty except for 6 chairs that were all within 10 feet of each other. Then the smell hit. Old lady perfume!! I have gotten used to being in these waiting rooms where the only people here my age are here because the brought the parents or grandparents for treatment, but I don't think I will ever get used to Old Lady Perfume. Finally we were called to the back and Pam and I had a discussion, another words she was nagging me, about needing to be patient. And here is what I came up with. Wisdom from the jacked up mind of Jason... I can be A patient, or I can be patient. Chances are not looking good for me to be both at the same time. I know God has a plan that He is working through this and like a statement I made Wednesday night in our youth class; Proverbs 3:5 God's will requires our obedience, not our understanding! Bye for now.
