I am typing this from my hospital room. I had not wanted to bother anybody with yet another prayer request as I have had so many the last couple of months but during my business trip to Texas this past week I began feeling slightly ill.
That feling that something was just not right continued all week after flying home Tuesday night.
As most know I had plans to meet St. Mark on Friday for lunch and some good fellowship. Thursday evening my ill feeling developed into definite painful symptoms in my stomach so I decided that Friday morning I would go see the Dr. on the way to meeting St. Mark.
Turns out I spent all day yesterday, Friday, at first the Dr.'s office and then the hospital getting a CT scan that confirmed I had appendeictus.
I had rush surgery about 9 pm last night. Went all of today without morphine until about 4:30 pm. LOL!!!!
I do have another medical issue that is probably not serious but is causing me a lot of pain right now I would like everybody to please pray for and also my quick recovery from this surgery.
I have already ridden my motorcycle less this summer than ever and now this!!!!
I am sorry to hear that you are feeling poorly, but very happy that they found it before it got worse (They sent my Mom home, and it later burst, course this was 20 years ago...)
The appendix is one of those funny body parts, that apparently serves some sort of purpose, we just don't know what it is, and we can live just fine without it.
I always used to have this little joke, when people would talk about how we are the body of Christ. I would always say that I am the appendix, the part that you don't notice until its causing you pain.
Actually typed out like that, without my exaggerated sarcastic and dry humor, it doesn't sound as funny. I'll guess you'll just have to take my word for it!!!

And I'm the tonsils You can cut them out and they'll grow back...like a fungus.
Thanks everybody, I enjoyed reading your posts with good wishes and prayer (and jokes - Michlow!!!).
I am having rough day today but hopefully things will be much better tomorrow. It is not the pain as much as just being nauseated. I can deal with pain better than nasuea.
The Lord does have a way of timing things. If this had happened anytime else in the last six months I would have been a nervous wreck as far as work is concerned as so much has been going on that I have been involved in.
It just so happens that this week was a slight lull in the storm and I only had a couple of important things that were depenent on me right now and I have been able ot put one off and delegate the other.
That has allowed me to try and rest today without worry or guilt. I have gotten more sleep today than in a long time which may make up for almost not sleep the days I spent in the hospital.
I am going to hang around here a few minutes then will check back later.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Hey CC1, call your doctor and ask for Phenegren. It's for nausea. It works really well.

Tonight finally the nasuea left. I won't take the pain med until very late to go to sleep.
It was kind of weird that today was my worst day. You would think the day after the surgery would have been.
Tomorrow my daughter is brining me a Royal Red Robin for dinner so that should be therapeutic!
I am believing tomorrow will be a much better day for me.
