set back

Today was to be my big day, but it wasn't so...
When I arrived today for my appointment, my audiologist got started with me right away because the doctor was busy. Things were going awesome actually, when the doctor stepped in. She looked at it and said... yeah this looks pretty good... I asked her if she could snip off the stitches, so she stepped out to get what she needed. When she came back and started to snip, she said... your incision is open in two spots. She prescribed two antibiotics and cultured my head (that hurt). She and my audiologist agreed it wouldn't be a good idea to fit me with my processor when it would be sitting heavily against my incision which is not healed properly.
I cried. I was very disappointed. I still am.
We had just arrived to the part in the activation where I was really hearing pretty well with the implant. But I am also trying to gain some healthy perspective too.
1) If I hadn't asked to have my stitches removed, I may have had a horrible infection on my hands, because at first glance she thought it looked good.
2) I have one week to wait and though it seems like eternity to me at this point, I have been without my hearing for almost 4 yrs. What is one more week?
3) I have a busy couple days ahead... I know God is in control not me. Maybe this was awful timing, I am going back to school in the morning, but as it will be... I will be just starting my spring break and will have some time to get adjusted. Maybe it would have been too much and God knew that and He was saving me some grief? Also, in a crazy twist...
4) When we went downstairs, my mom, as a good mother would... insisted that Adam get my prescription filled then and there. Over walks a dear old friend of mine from high school and beyond. She now works in human resources at Hillcrest Hospital where we were. She has had a rough week, but as it turns out, when mom and I go next week, we will meet her for lunch.

I have to believe that I will heal over this week and can look forward to an exciting day next Thursday. Sorry to not have happier news. Keep me in your thoughts, I am in need of some patience.
