I phoned the hospital earlier today to confirm my arrival on Sunday but have been told that the *anaesthetist wants to see me before confirming that the surgery can go ahead. I now have an appointment with the anaesthetist on Tuesday 26th and no idea when surgery might follow.
This is a disappointment (or his-appointment as we have been taught to spell it) having arranged a family clan meeting and various other things for the weekend but as my old Bible college principal used to say 'the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord... and so are his stops'. Not that we make any claims to 'goodness'!
Please continue to be in prayer that all procedures will progress in perfect synchronisation with the Lord's purposes in all this. It is easy for us to become 'blinkered' by what we perceive to be the Lord's will and to forget that he works 'all things', not just those in our focus, 'for good according to his will for those who love HIm and are the called ones in his purpose.'
* anaesthetists are doctors with specialist training who decide (with my consent) what kind of anaesthetic is most appropriate and its relative risks. They also decide on pain control and manage any necessary blood transfusions.
