The Hospital Experience

What a crazy couple of days. The surgery went well. David now has a titanium rod in his left leg along with five screws. The surgery went well, David has already started healing so the doctor had to rebreak his leg to get the rod in.

The problem arose when David couldn't pee. Couldn't eat or drink after midnight, surgery was at 12:40, 3:30am the next morning David still hasn't peed. Therefore, he got to experience a catheter. It was temporary, in other words, they simply emptied his bladder. Not to make it easy, David still couldn't pee. Dr. Doug gives him until noon. I send out a text asking people to pray for David to pee. Finally, at 11:47 - victory!!

I love it that God loves us so much He is concerned about every aspect of our life - including whether or not we can go!!

David was released this morning and is home from the hospital. Pretty tired and sore but well on the road to recovery.
