DR said it's like a kidney stone in the sense that it starts out small and then grows until ouch, so yes it could have started back awhile! But he isn't sure yet if that is what it is. My whole left ear area is affected by it, tho.<br /><br />Thank you so much for the prayers and words of encouragement, CARRIE, MARIAN, MURRAY, and PAM K!

But I know you all love me so I can't think of a better place to ask for prayer. And MURRAY, you should be pretty good at it seeing as how you have been a pastor.<br /><br />I developed a lump about the size of an egg under my left ear, and just assumed it was swollen lymph nodes, dr. would prescribe me an antibiotic, and that would be that. It isn't actually my lymph nodes after all, but my parotid gland. Dr. said it is either a tumor, or a huge stone, or several stones. He tested me for leukemia, and that was negative, but he said that doesn't rule out the other "C" word. I have to have a ct scan done with the ear, nose, throat specialist asap. He said if it is a big stone, they may be able to scope it out...would still have to be cut for that. :( Puleeeeze pray for me, friends! I think it is just my sassiness coming out, MURRAY! lol!<br /><br />Through it all, through it all, I'm learning to trust in Jesus, I'm learning to trust in God...do they sing that great song in Holland, MARIAN? I changed the words a little b/c I am still learning to trust Him and sometimes my faith is weak.<br /><br />CARRIE, love, you just don't know how much I needed and have enjoyed: Jesus Calling-Enjoying Peace in His Presence today (thank you so much for that) and MURRAY, I need to read Streams, too, perhaps?Diana Flowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17127629740742628849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-63589182416623039952012-08-16T16:58:53.325-04:002012-08-16T16:58:53.325-04:00WENDY, thank you for writing.

I researched the practise of medicine 1861-65 in-depth for this book. War has its heroes and sometimes must be engaged in for the defence of a nation. But it should never be glamorized. You will understand that better than many when you read the book.

I was a nurse in the British Military (Royal Navy for 6 years and the Army for 17 years) so I feel I could identify with the characters in this one. Obviously I'm a little too young to have served in the era of the Civil War :-) Should I be lucky enough to win a copy of your book I would require an ebook as I live in Scotland.
