72. Where have I been? Wife's surgery.

.
As you've likely noticed, I haven't posted much here in the last ten days, because we were preparing for my wife Jeannine's surgery on Monday 9/21, having it, and then dealing with post-surgery issues.

The good news is that her surgery was semi-elective, not at all related to either (1) her two cancer incidents in the 80's & 90's from which she is completely recovered, or (2) her accidental doctor-caused esophagus puncture almost two years ago that put her in the hospital for 45 days.

Here's the story. Picture Jeannine walking due south. Then observe that although her right foot is pointing south she has (now had) three toes that were pointing due southwest, and a big toe whose toenail was not attached to her toe like normal, but rather attached to a bone inside her toe. They broke her three toes, moved them into alignment, and screwed them in place with a pin. Then they lasered off her big toenail. Ooo-ouch!

So it took us a few days before the surgery to prepare for a non-operational Jeannine and a double-operational Larry, who, fortunately, knows how to cook, clean, and feed the cat. Then we spent 1/2 day at the surgery center, and now we are in the 5th day since the surgery.

Here are a couple of issues you can pray for us: (1) Jeannine's right foot (driving foot) needs to be pain-free by the time that I (Larry) am going to also have semi-elective surgery, on Oct 15th. At her current rate of pain reduction, we won't make it, and we'll have to go with plan B. And (2) I was able to take a few days off work, but I'll have to be back full time next week. Pray that Jeannine will be able to do the things she needs to do around the house. She does a little bit more every day, but is still operating on fairly high doses of pain killers.

I do have a couple of issues for the blog that I should be able to post fairly quickly, not like the Revelation lessons that take hours of study. Those two issues should be posted over the weekend. And MAYBE, the next Revelation 13 lesson.
