Hello from the hospital! That's right, after an acute attack of gall stones, I had my gall bladder removed. I am in a bit of pain, but it is my joy I wish to share with you tonight.
First, when I arrived at the hospital, a lady from church was my ER nurse. I didn't know her very well, but after a couple of hours talking and helping me with pain meds, we got to be better friends! Such a happy moment during an unpleasant time.
So I had surgery and they got the gall bladder and I get to enjoy a quiet night at the hospital - happy! I had so many visits, calls, texts, and emails today to brighten and lift me up. I am so grateful for the laughs on Facebook about surgery number 4. My dear friends and visiting teachers brought me soup and strawberry Jello - yum! Our bishop and his wife came for a visit as well as our friend from church who was working here tonight. Have a look at my latest picture from the hospital!
SURGERY NUMBER 4!!
A Presbyterian minister representing the hospital spiritual services stopped by, and we had a lovely chat and then prayed together. How I love prayers from the heart and the blessings that come from them!
I am grateful for the spiritual moment I had with my patient care tech today. I was able to share with her my love of Jesus and how much I am blessed for finding happy moments each day!
It was so nice to see my sweet friend, Jennifer, who offered any and all future chauffeur services to me should I need to go to the hospital at 3 AM again.
Today is what this blog is all about. I found so so many happy moments that I don't really feel my pain. I certainly was not upset by having another surgery, but very much at peace. I knew all would be well if I CHOSE to have a good outlook. I am so thankful for kind acts, prayers, hugs, and happy moments! Have a great night all! Bring on that sleeping pill!
