Dear Lord,
It turns out that B's neurologist mixed up her MRI report with another patient's. Instead of only having mild arthritis in her neck, she has a severe obstruction (presumably of the spinal canal) in C4-C7. She has no more info than that bc this message was left on a voicemail + she hasn't been able to reach the doctor's office d/t it being the weekend. Until we know exactly what the problem is, I can only assume she needs decompression surgery. If that's the case, nowadays it can be done with a minimally invasive technique, which will shorten her recovery time considerably. However, no point getting ahead of myself till I know what needs to be done.
My prayer is that we finally have an answer for what's been causing her dizziness for over 5 years. If it is a mechanical compression problem, surgery should relieve it. Once the pressure is relieved, my hope is the dizziness would be gone. May it be so.
Bless my time with B tomorrow. We'll go to her church + then have an Easter lunch. It looks to be a very nice day, which will be most welcome.
Keep me safe driving there, + both of us going to church + coming back. May I be a blessing to her.
In your holy name, amen.
