I'm Home!

I'm back home spending a lot of time on my back! Surgery went very well, i have some nice white compression hose that come up above my knees. I also have a drain tube at the base of my 9inch incision. I'm already down to Tylenol, the pain is hardest when i'm getting up & back down. I have my own personal nurse Dyan all weekend!:)

Speaking of my amazing wife, i want to share a cool story of how God used my surgery yesterday! A lady that works in the same school Dyan is a counselor happened to be in the same hospital. She is battling colon cancer & has had 6 surgeries in the past 3 weeks & is having complications the doctors can't figure out. Dyan went to see her while i was recovering overnight & the lady shared how she was really discouraged & hadn't seen her husband or son in weeks since he had to go back to work.

Dyan shared with her about God's love & how you can actually experience his presence with you & how he cares about us when we struggle then she prayed with her. The lady didn't say anything. Today when Dyan came back to pick me up she stopped by the ladies room to bring her something & the lady thanked her for praying with her & sharing. She said you gave me a lot of good things to think about! I feel a lot better today!

God will always use our suffering for good if we look for ways to be used! My surgery gave Dyan the opportunity to be at the right place just at the right time!

Thank you for all of your prayers as i recover!

Luv you all!
