Today, I had the Port-a-Cath implantation surgery. It went well. I am grateful for the medical team that took care of me.
The days before I was bit anxious, but felt calmness. I'm thankful to the prayers, the thoughts and the support of many.
The day of the surgery, we arrived at the hospital at 6:00 AM. I was accompanied by some of my dear family: my wife, my little brother, my first daughter and her husband. The surgery started at 9:00 AM and left the hospital at 2:00 PM. By the time I left the hospital, I had two more friends waiting for me outside. I am grateful for their support and for Jehovah for giving me such wonderful people in my life.
In a couple of days I will be returning to the hospital to check the Port-a-Cath and to have the stitches removed.

My dear brother shared this thought with me:
As for me, I panicked and said:
“I will perish from before you.”
But you heard my pleas for help when I cried out to you. — Ps. 31:22
