Guest guest Posted September 16, 2001 Report Share Posted September 16, 2001 Sorry for all the questions today but this has been weighing on my mind lately and so I would like to hear others thoughts on the matter. My husband and I both feel the call to become missionaries for our church at some point in time. We know the country but not the timeframe or specific area(city or rural) that God has in mind for us. Our kids are quite young so I expect it will be a few years down the road. I know that yearly bloodwork is very important after this surgery. How would you feel about having this surgery if you knew that down the road you'd be living in a country where the medical care is not as good or readily available as here in the US. Say 10 years after the surgery would you feel comfortable living where it may take a day or more to get to medical care should a problem arise or might not be possible to obtain those yearly bloodwork tests? Also what if food (protein sources) was not as easy to obtain as here? I have prayed on this topic quite a bit but I am still undecided on this point. I would like to hear others practical advice/opinions if for some reason (not just the one I stated) you find yourself living in a poorer country for an extended time without the resources we often take for granted here. Thank you for your honest thoughts on the matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
