Back in the Hospital

October 23, 2009

My ongoing battle with the strep A bacteria continued this week.  Sunday night an infection showed up in my left hand.  It was not as bad as the one in April, but it was bad enough.  I went into the hospital on Monday, and the surgeon wasted no time in drawing out the infection.  He didn't want to give it any chance to become "flesh-eating."  He waited until Wednesday night to close it up, making sure the infection was all gone. 

Before the second surgery, I told the anesthesiologists that they had to be sure I woke back up, since I still needed to finish paying for the 5 times they knocked me out in April.

Maybe all these general anesthetics will help me get ready for death.  I've trusted the anesthesiologists to wake me back up each time.  How much more can I trust Jesus to wake me up from death!.

Well it is great news that you caught this early. I expect you will spend the rest of your life on high alert. Recalling family history on "going under", do you recall that Grandpa Uhl had his double-hernia surgery in Canada because that is the only place he could have it done without being knocked out? He had seen so many people die from ether in WWI that didn't want anything to do with it.
