What's in a number?

82

What is so great about the number 82? It is just a number. It could be the number of times someone sneezes in a day during allergy season. It could be the money I earn in a day's work, it could be the number of times I have prayed each day this week for this round of in vitro to work. It could be the number of spokes in a wheel.

 For me the number 82 is the percentage my doctor gave me for this round of in vitro to work. 82 is a pretty high percentage. I mean if someone told you that you had a 82 percent chance of winning the lottery you would enter. If someone told you that you had a 82 percent chance of dying from eating a hamburger you would probably not eat the hamburger.

I am pretty excited and hopeful with the number 82, but if it doesn't work i'm going to feel very upset and frustrated I couldn't get it to work with such a high number.

I love your example about the hamburger by the way. That made me laugh out loud. The whole 82 theme you went with was very attention grabbing and intriguing. It was a very interesting post and well written. You are a great writer:)

82 is a great percentage! I think your chances are really good:) I have faith and hope that it is going to work out this time. I have been petitioning Heaven every day on your behalf:)
