It's funny how you don't know when you wake up, what the day will bring. For the most part, I've found that's a good thing. 
I had no idea when I woke up today that it would be as meaningful as it has been.

In September of last year, I went for a routine eye doctor visit, ended up being referred to a specialist and the eye injection adventure began. It's not a huge deal - but I can think of things I would rather be doing. The next month, I found out that I would need to have a surgery related to my initial cancer surgery; I had that in early December. In January, I had shoulder surgery. And every four weeks since September, I've had an eye injection. The surgeries were not so major, but the combination of injections and surgeries has felt like a step backwards. And every injection appointment, both the scan of my eye and my vision have been worse.

Four weeks ago, my vision was worse but the scan showed improvement. And today, the scan was stable AND my vision was much better.
That is a WIN!!!
Today, they didn't schedule me for an injection in four weeks!! I have an exam and scan instead. And my eye doctor said it's most likely that I will need more injections - but even a few weeks' break is so awesome and I am thrilled!!
It seems like a another chapter closed today on this medical journey. And while we never know what will happen in the future - I am CELEBRATING today!!
"Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in him! Make it as clear as you can to all you meet that you're on their side, working with them and not against them. Help them see that the Master is about to arrive. He could show up any minute! Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life." - Philippians 4:4-7 (The Message)
