“Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many. …Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.” (Proverbs 4:10-13 KJV).
“When can I take a shower?” I asked the nurse while looking at the surgical dressing on my stomach.
“Whenever you want.” She said.
“What about this? Don’t I have to keep this dry until the stitches come out?” I questioned while pointing at my belly.
“Stitches?” She questioned. “You don’t have any stitches. We super-glued you.”
“Hmmm…” I mumbled. “This nurse sure is a kidder…” I thought to myself as my mind surrendered to the pain meds.
As it turns out, the nurse wasn’t kidding. They used some sort of dermabond to close me up after doing a laproscopic surgery to remove my gall bladder. It’s supposed to improve one’s recovery rate (I’ll let you know).
With a quick recovery in mind, I plan to preach this Sunday. It’s Mother’s Day and we’re in a great series on the family and I love to preach, so…
… I hope the super glue holds fast.
