Staying Abreast of Health-Care Challenges
A friend with a well-developed sense of humor and a not-so-developed bustline was arranging for her mammogram. They set a date. The appointment secretary asked all the required questions:
"Have you had any breast surgeries?"
"No."
"Any problems with your breasts?"
Fleeting thoughts of how she could never qualify to be a Playboy bunny came to mind, but she bit her tongue, and said, "No."
"Can you get around?"
That was too much.
"Oh, yes. I am flat-chested, so I can get around quite well with no interference from my breasts."
A moment of shocked silence, and then the secretary’s professional demeanor dissolved into laughter. "I HAVE to ask that so we know that you can stand up for the test."
If not, what do they provide? Size Double D crutches?!?

PRAYER REQUEST: A friend’s friend, Karen, must undergo a cardiac catheterization today. Father, thank You for the amazing medical technology You have taught us to create, to provide for such a time as this. We lift up Karen and her medical team for Your mercy and compassion, and pray for the easiest outcome, that won’t require further surgery or medication. May she be an obedient patient and be free of all worry and dread. Thank You for blessing us with the privilege of praying for one another, and may Karen feel our support and encouragement now and always. (Isaiah 30:18)
