It all started back in December, ’07 when I was on winter brake in Romania.
I noticed that the right side of my face got swollen. I thought that my gums got infected because of flossing. But did not think that it was such a big deal, cause in a week it got better. But then as I came back to Mexico it happened again, and my gums got swollen again off and on. Since we had such a busy schedule and things got kinda crazy here with us moving and everything I did not want my leaders be burdened with another problem, so did not say anything.
Two weeks ago though, I had to ask them to take me to the doctor, cause it got so painful. Who would have thought that Mexico has such a dental care, like the one on the picture, right?:0)
On my first visit the doctor said I needed to be back right in two days and they had to extract a tooth that caused my face to be swollen. They said that due to a poorly done rooth canal, my tooth got so infected that the best thing was extracting it. They worked on it one houre, cause my tooth was so stubborn, did not want to cooperate!:0) The pain…oh my! I do not wish this for anyone!!! Then they stiched it for a week. Yayks!
Going back for a checkup, I found out that even though the place of the extraction got better, there was a pretty bad infection still, kinda like a nod. So they made another appointment for me planning to have a surgery, to cut off that infected nod.
Wow…hearing this, like never, got on my knees and prayed that the Lord would do a miracle that they would not need to have that surgery. I am so thankful to the Lord for reminding me that yes indeed HE IS ABLE to do this, to heal or to do a miracle if it is His will and for His glory, and just wants me to trust in Him being in control. On this past Saturday when I was sitting in that chair :0), waiting for the specialist to come,by that time I already had such a peace knowing that whatever will happen, it will be the best! Because I have my Father on my side!
Well, guess what?:0) When the doctor checked m tooth, his first words were:” Oh, we do not have to do the surgery cause the nod got smaler and with some antibiotics we can make it dissapear in a couple of weeks. Doing the surgery would make more damage…”
I just screamed YES!! THIS IS WHY I PRAYED FOR!! He was just laughing…but praise to God for giving me an opportunity to share about Him through this situation to the doctors and assitants that were waiting to perform the surgery on my face:0)
