On January 27th I had surgery to repair an abdominal hernia. Pretty straight forward, not serious. It was supposed to be outpatient but ended up being a little more involved and so I spent the night at Cape Coral Hospital. The staff took great care of me there and then it was Ellen’s turn when we got home Thursday. I am blessed to have her by my side through these adventures that come with aging (I’m 65, Ellen is younger :-).
I was able to work from home most of the next week and return to a normal routine at ECHO that Friday (Feb. 5th). I’m still limited in what I can (should!) pick up but otherwise back to great health.
Reflections:
- grateful for excellent medical care and adequate health insurance
- grateful for general good health
- Ellen’s bout with cancer and this remind us we are mortal and aging
- We are happy to be able to continue in full-time ministry at ECHO and with AIM
