She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. For she said, ‘If I touch even his garments, I will be made well.’ And immediately, the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. Mark 5:27-29 ESV. Dear Friend, You are sick; you have been shunned by society and labelled as ‘unclean.’ You have spent over a decade living off the generosity of pedestrians, and your entire life has been marked by something out of[...]

I was unable to open my mouth and was in incredible pain. The doctors and surgeons on staff prepared me for surgery to try to drain the fluid (a procedure that would have to be partly done while I was awake).
