It is very safe to say that this is true of me and my soul. Friends opened their gorgeous home in Highlands, NC for our entire small group of 25+ years to enjoy together. I wondered at times if I would ever see the mountains again and ever be together again with my life giving, soul nourishing friends:
All four couples gathered together in Highlands, NC. God blessed those of us who rarely see snow with a light dusting of snow. I call that a little “god-wink”. I needed this time away with good friends to refresh my soul and laugh a lot.
I had an MRI on Monday, March 28th and we made the decision to have a second brain surgery, but this time I will be awake (mildly sedated so I can respond to questions). Did you know the brain has no pain receptors? I guess I will find that out the hard way for a fact.
Surgery will happen the Monday after Easter, April 18th at 6:30 a.m.
I have been doing physical therapy to help with my balance. My therapist is from Brazil, and she is quite good at what she does. My balance is improving with her help.
Thanks for your prayers.
All of this is so hard on my wife and kids.
Pray that God will comfort them.
Please surround them with your love and prayers.
They need you.
We all need you!
Sincerely,
John, Karen & Team Phelps
