Day 67 August 19 Surgery

Havn't written for awhile.  Two weeks ago today I went in for a simple back surgery to get some hardware removed.  It didn't turn out so simple.  My O2 saturation dropped, whether from the pain medicine, the way my body was processing after surgery ( my liver and kidneys ) or who knows what else.  Anyways,  I dropped so low that I became unresponsive and ended up in the ICU where they gave my all kinds of things to reverse effects.  One nurse told my the next step was a ventilator.  Oh the power of prayer!  I recovered there for 2 days and then graduated to a regular room.  Yes that's what they call it :)  I stayed there till Thursday and then came home.  The staples came out on Tuesday, as I said on my FB, the little things in life feel like a miracle.  This experience is really going to change me.  I still have pain from the incision and drain, to be expected.  I am also really tired!  This is why Lord I keep Prasin You Thru This Storm...
