Bumps in the Road Ahead - Sharon E Sirocco - Bog

Every journey has ups and downs. By the end of Sharon Sirocco's first book, Bunches and Piles and Heaps...Oh My! the reader is impressed with the role her faith plays in adapting to childhood diabetes, kidney/pancreas transplantation, chemotherapy resistant metastatic squamous cell cancer eventuating in complete loss of her right leg with right hip disarticulation.

This book, "Bumps in the Road Ahead", looks at long term concerns. The reader learns about the seeming coincidence of outstanding healthcare workers showing up as needed in different capacities-doctors, physical therapists, prosthetics, and specialized surgeons. But as Sharon points out, this is a God incident; not a coincidence.
While the reader is introduced to many new things such as wound clinic, wound vac, hyperbaric chamber, phantom limb pain, caretakers etc., they are all wrapped up in related scripture and prayers. The ever-present fear of recurrent or new cancer is a lesson in how your faith doesn't eliminate fear, but shows you how to manage it. While there are multiple different concerns and needs, Sharon shows how they all condense to one belief "GOD is good"

Hallelujah! And thank you, Sharon.
