Re: “De's heart surgery for example. That would be GINORMOUS and scare me to death. My spine surgeries are almost nothing in comparison...” I was perplexed by my lack of fear. None at all, and I don't normally think of myself as a particularly brave guy. I think it may have been because I felt so healthy right up until the day of the surgery that, in my gut, it never seemed quite real. Mostly, I didn't feel like this weird trip to the hospital was how my time on this mortal coil was going to end. I'm the one who always takes OTHER people to the hospital! Also, logically, I knew the odds of dying were incredibly slim, and logic plays a very big role in my life. So, only a 7 percent chance of death! There were additional chances of unpleasant side effects, but I didn't know what the numbers were for any of those things. I didn't think my time was up, though. Even as I was making my will... even as I was writing a final letter to Joey - to be mailed only if I didn't make it - my gut was reassuring me that there wasn't ANY chance of kicking the bucket. I didn't push too hard to change its mind. And fortunately, my gut proved to be correct.

As for your spine surgeries being "almost nothing in comparison" . . . I disagree. I bet your recuperation was waaaaaay more painful than mine. My shoulders hurt, especially the left one. For a few weeks, it kind of felt like my guts were going to fall out when I walked or rode in a car (so guess what I avoided doing.) And I had a *LOT* of migraines... maybe 30 of them in the first month. I'm still not sure why. I'd had one migraine in all of 2019 and then, right there at the end of the year, wham. I'm still getting them pretty often. I had one today, in fact. I don't know why.

But no agonizing pain from the surgery. A pleasant surprise. In that respect, you've had it worse, my friend!

Update on my wife's sister Connie

Hi everyone. I apologize for being so forgetful. The Surgery was lengthy last wednesday, 2 and a half hours . My wife was the person her sister had designated to be the one who amde decisions for her and who the doctor would talk with after surgery. Consequently, my wife also was the only one allowed to see her on that day and by herself...

The surgeon was awesome. He told my wife he wound up having to remove a lot of the internal soft tissue and set it aside in order to get to the part that had the cancer growing on it and remnoved all around that, and then had to put all the other soft tissies back inside her and sew it all back together.

He felt very confident that this would NOT be back and their was no other traces of the cancer anyplace in her body...They did a pet scan with negative results which was great...

Unfortunately, Connie was stitched up extensively and unable to so much as to move for all this time or all her insides would come undone. So she was bed ridden until yesterday. Only ONE person for a whole day could see her and if they left the room they could not come back in..

The doctor had told my wife he wanted Connie to go to rehab for two weeks. So we found a new and well respected one near us.

Then GOD showed up.

When you have a few hundred people praying for you and bringing you before HIS THRONE HE has pity and compassion upon HIS OWN and hears those pleas for HIS help.

Connie went HOME from the hospital TODAY. It is miraculous to us. It is all in a moments work for God.

She has healed super fast and to the point where the surgeon could not believe it, and so because we have sister in law who is Regestered Nurse and was head of nursing at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, she will be at Connie's house daily for a week to change her dressings for her and take care of her...

We are rejoicing and praising God for HIS GOODNESS and answered prayer.

These kinds of things are what makes living worth while and keeps our focus and our thoughts on OTHERS needs and then we don;t fret so much over our own, which seem so tiny when compared to someone else's.

De's heart surgery for example. That would be GINORMOUS and scare me to death. My spine surgeries are almost nothing in comparison and yet, GOD supplied his calmness, that still small voice only our very souls can hear and know it is HIM and HE is right there with us..

Bless GOD for HIS goodness and Kindness to HIS children and for healing my sister in law like HE did. This recovery is nothing short of miraculous and Igive HIM all the credit and thanksgiving.

Thank you for your prayers for Connie everyone.. HE heard and HE did what oly HE can do! Even the surgeon is at a loss how she has healed this quickly from the extent of the internal soft tissue surgical procedures..

MANY MANY THANKS to you from my family to you....
God bless you .Am so grateful...
