Its hard to really remember the exact day I made a big decision to have surgery. Around this time last year I was struggling with reacurring ringworm on my face (or maybe it was in September--I don't remember) and went to the doctor. The doctor came in and I said, "I want to have surgery on my nose." I had no idea where that statement came from. The summer I had faced my fears of going door to door and went--then a lady asked me what was wrong with my nose. I came to realize that people really do notice. I started to look back at pictures and noticed that since my first surgery the right side of my nose had grown. I was thinking and praying about having surgery but was so unsure about it--I mean my mind set was that why fix something that God made. Then I started to really think about it and the benfits of having my nose fixed....so at the doctor I asked the question. Sometime I wonder if it were not for that ring worm if I would have had surgery. A year ago I was referred to a nuerologist and it took me over a month to call and make an appointment because I was so unsure and mainly scared to have surgery and not sure if it was something I should do (I have a hard time making big decisions). This time last year I was at a low point thinking that I wish I could be normal looking like everyone else and didn't know how to be--unless I had surgery.
Its amazing to look back and see how the Lord orchestrated everything at the right time from the annoying and reacurring ringworm, the doctor, the neurologist, and even my plastic surgeon. I am so happy and thankful for that annoying ringworm because if I didn't have it on my face then I may not have had surgery.
