The number 40 has Biblical significance. It rained for 40 days. The typical time for embalming was 40 days. Moses stayed on Mount Sinai for 40 days. Jesus was tempted by Satan for 40 days. Jesus stayed w/ his disciples for 40 days after his resurrection. Jonah told Nineveh they had 40 days to repent or they would be overthrown. According to http://www.biblestudy.org/bibleref/meaning-of-numbers-in-bible/40.html, the number 40 appears 146 times in the Bible.....would've been cooler if it was 140. Anytime anyone is tempted, tested, or tried, the number 40 is related, either in days or years. I had my first cancer when I was 40.
I didn't realize that today was my 40th post so I guess it's significant that today was the first time I called my doctor since I last saw him in August. I reached a point last night when I couldn't stand to have my arms touching my sides. The ache stretched from my armpits to my fingertips. I didn't talk w/ the doctor, but the nurse asked me lots of questions. "Have you done any strenuous exercising that could've caused a pulled muscle?" NO. "Have you been running a fever?" NO There is a possibility that the deep-tissue massage I had two days ago may be the culprit. Massages are known for flushing toxins from the body, which is one of the reasons I wanted one. So maybe w/ this 40th post, I can say that my period of testing is over. I hope I passed.
