I competed in ORAMM back in 2017 and had my mountain bike saddle too far back by 2 cm. At least that is what I ‘think’ happened to my right hip labrum. Or acetabulum. Whatever you want to call it. I saw three surgeons. I spoke endlessly about it. I scheduled surgery three times and canceled it three times. Finally the last one was the trick; I didn’t cancel.
I did not cancel because of many things that happened all at once. On July 30th, my husband had a cycling crash by touching the tire of someone in front of him and broke a bunch of ribs and his clavicle. During the CT in the ER, they found an incidental finding. That is fancy medical code word for something not good, i.e., cancer, etc… 4.6 cm tumor in his left kidney, so he met the out-of-pocket max… which means my surgery would be free.
I’m still a bit in disbelief about it my husband’s accident and subsequent cancer. It was about 3 months ago, but it seems longer and it doesn’t seem real. But it was stage 1b, and I’m avoiding all of the “forums” where the worst of the worst is discussed. I’m trusting God that He has a plan obviously for my husband.
Can I tell you through this process I have changed? I feel more connected to God. I feel like He is using all of these things for good.
