Port placement

I found out today that they will be placing the chemo port in me next Friday.  I have to bring a driver to take me home so that I don't have a wreck and die.  This will be my first time to be sedated, I am kind of looking forward to that new experience.  I know that many people with cancer say that in life they wish they could experience more things, I have experienced a lot of things but there are some that I could leave off of the list if given the chance.  Cancer is one of them.  I don't fear it, but it seems to be getting in the way of the things that I would rather be doing, such as building the Kingdom of God, but I guess if the King decides that I should go through it then He knows better than I do.  I just wish He would have consulted me before making any decisions.  The truth of the matter is that I have always looked forward to the challenges that adversity brings (I was one that hoped Y2K would have been real, just because it would have been interesting).  I like variety, sometimes the mundane gets boring, there are times that I like change just for the sense of change.  Those changes that are brought on by the challenges of adversity are what make life worth living.  Funny, but cancer makes life worth living.  To succumb to adversity (in this case cancer) is not an option, to overcome it however, is a challenge worth meeting.
