Kim and I developed a holy relationship, one of perfect equality. We were teacher and student to one another. My surgeon was amazed at rapid healing. Lumpectomy patients are sent home with a drainage pump dangling from the side of their bodies. The pump allows lymph fluids to drain.
Patients normally have to wear the pump one to two weeks, until there is minimal drainage.
My pump came out in five days. I had very little swelling and a minimum amount of pain. To hasten my healing, three weeks after surgery, I went on a spiritual retreat. The weekend of prayer and meditation was renewing. It affirmed my function as demonstrator of the principle that all healing occurs through maintaining contact with the Voice for God within.
