Unexpected Journey ... Next Leg

The journey continues ... almost three weeks ago I had the surgery that is expected to fix the constant round of infections that is making my asthma go crazy. The good news is that the surgery went very well though it went 4 hours long. The bad news is that there is scar tissue developing so they had to go in and scrape it last week and will have to do the same thing this week.

The second bit of bad news is that the surgery has caused my asthma to flare up. I finally went in today and got a steroid shot which should begin to heal the inflammation in my lungs. And things should be getting better in the next couple of days.

So I am slowly beginning to pick up the pieces of normal life again, spending time in the office, watering the garden and even preaching ... which feels very good. I continue to learn and to grow through this time of enforced inactivity. It is so good to feel the love and concern of friends and family, to have the town gather around me and pray for my well being and recovery.

And one of the many things I am learning through this is that love is always the right answer ....
