The next time I mention anything about trusting God with my future, remind me that it never makes it any easier. Still, it doesn't leave much room for doubt.

Mr. D came to the VA last week with a cold left foot. Over the weekend, we tried having interventional radiology attempt thrombolysis with minimal success. This morning, with his foot still cold and no distal doppler signals heard, we decided to take him to the OR. It was a fairly long case, and I was post-call, so it seemed even longer. But when we injected contrast down his new bypass graft and I saw his foot light up like a Christmas tree with blood flow, it was a beautiful sight.

The long and winding road looks like it may soon become even longer and more winding, but, oh, the views along the way!
