You may have read my latest update about the nose problems I am now experiencing, if not, its a fun-ish, quick read.

In conjunction with that mess, I will have to have surgery December 4 to have a button put in my nose,. There is hole in my septum that apparently isn’t t supposed to be there. The doctor believes it was a contributing factor to the nose bleeds. Anyway, the surgery is a same day surgery, and essentially what they plan to do is put a button to plug the hole in the septum. So I will have a mechanical heart, a button nose and a screwed on ankle. 🙂

I know other people experience a lot of crazy things in their life and I am very blessed to be in the position I am in. I live in a country where these surgeries are available. I am able to do it without missing significant amounts of work (thanks to an online job)

I have had my life spared countless times, so there must be a reason I am still here. Just recently a window got stuck down in the truck I am driving. My dad took it in to be looked at. While in the shop they discovered a belt in/under the truck was very worn and about to snap. If the window had not been damaged, the belt may have snapped while I was driving to one of my substitute or dog sitting jobs and it may have been catastrophic.

It may seem like a hassle to have to deal with incident after incident. Sometimes I find myself complaining a little when these “events” continue to cause disruptions in my life.

However, when i pull back and look at the bigger picture, it seems I am being protected more than inconvenienced by these things.

So, while I may not be thrilled to have another surgery, and have to deal so many things this year. I am trying to keep my perspective on how I have been protected, rather than how much of an inconvenience this year has been.

So here’s to my upcoming button nose.
