Countdown

On Friday Aug 25 I had blood tests. On Monday I have to go to a pre-operation clinic at the Royal Alexander Hospital. On Wednesday evening I begin fasting and on Thursday morning I have to go through a bowel purge - much easier now that when I did it 9 years ago. I had to take a solution called magnisium citrate which tasted awful and was a killer after you had taken two bottles - that had to be drunk over a couple of hours on each evening to two successive days. Exciting stuff.

I am really looking forward to going into the hospital and being stripped naked, left with no clothes except a airy gown that ties in the back. I will be exciting to have needles poked into my body and tubes put in any place they can find a place to put them. (sarcasm of course) What I am looking forward to is the recovery after the surgery. Each day is a step to feeling better again. They surgery itself is over in a very short time. The recovery takes a bit. I am praying for healing for the recovery. My daughter and daughter-in-law are assuring me that they are sure I will be home in 7 to 10 days. My prayer is that everything will go well.

In His Care and Under His Wings
