\"Superglue\"“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.”<\/em> (Proverbs 4:10-13 KJV).<\/p>\n

“When can I take a shower?” I asked the nurse while looking at the surgical dressing on my stomach.<\/p>\n

“Whenever you want.” She said.<\/p>\n

“What about this? Don’t I have to keep this dry until the stitches come out?” I questioned while pointing at my belly.<\/p>\n

“Stitches?” She questioned. “You don’t have any stitches. We super-glued you.”<\/p>\n

“Hmmm…” I mumbled. “This nurse sure is a kidder…” I thought to myself as my mind surrendered to the pain meds.<\/p>\n

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).<\/p>\n

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…<\/p>\n

… I hope the super glue holds fast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
