hello friends,
Surgery was more involved than I imagined for such a simple process of "trimming" the enlarged prostate gland that was obstructing urine flow. I thought it would be a simple outpatient procedure and was surprised to learn that I got the whole journey of traveling on my gurney down the winding hallways and into the fully staffed operating theater with a five person crew of technicians waiting to prepare me and put me to sleep. Of course my physician Adam Perlmutter was there with his special instruments.
It can all seem quite frightening if one is not  prepared and ready for whatever happens as I think that I was.
Woke up in recovery and spent the next 12 hours having my bladder flushed with about ten gallons of salt water. This was to keep the bladder expanded so the exposed bladder capillaries didn't flex and slow the healing process. After four days I am still discharging bits of tissue and lack normal control of elimination processes.

Fortunately for me I have plenty of in home help to assist with normal daily routine to care for myself and my wife.
I have four children age 53 to 61 who all understand the truth of God's plan for mankind and we are able to get along just fine regarding faith issues.

Thank you all for your concerns and kind thoughts.
You are greatly appreciated, ole Bob

Thank you Wendy. The unit that burned was not our daughters but one on the same floor.

Yes Dave , you are quite right.

Gen. 18:18…. Seeing that Abraham shall surely  become a great and mighty
nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in Him.

Now that’s good news .
Come Lord Jesus , 💕

Hope to see you soon.

The Lord intends evil for good.  One incident with many outcomes.  I hope their lives are changed if only marginally from this.

Hello family, I pray you are all well.

Last night our daughter returned home from work to see her apartment
building on fire and our grandchildren standing outside with their pets.
Afire had started in another unit and our son in law after removing his children
and pets , ran back into the building and grabbed the fire extinguisher and
ran towards people screaming in the unit.
He got them out with the pet and then ran back in again to try to put the fire out.
The firefighters showed up and put the fire out. The fireman thanked our son in law
and said that if he hadn’t helped , that the fire may have burned down the whole building.
The fireman said people nowadays would rather walk over dead bodies.

My daughter said that her husband never thought twice and put himself in danger which surprised
her because he is not exactly a people person and he and I don’t exactly get along.
Plus he has COPD and sick alot so this should have shocked me but not too much shocks me anymore.
I am so grateful that Our Lord used our son in law to do good. Like the Good Samaritan.
I told my daughter to hug him tightly and thank God for him and for everything.
They have a rocky relationship, so maybe she will see a little light in him.
The whole world is groaning .

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season . WE SHALL REAP, if we faint not. Gal.6:9

Don’t lose heart, God Bless You All
In Christ, Pamela

Praying all went well with your surgery
