I never imagined that I would be watching general conference from a hospital bed. It is a wondrous thing that we can watch it anywhere there is an internet connection.
The surgery went well. The doctor did not find anything unusual or concerning. There wasn't even very much scar tissue from the last surgery. The doctor was very pleased about how it went. It is nice to have a small incision that is glued together instead of a large incision stapled together.
I am able to eat clear liquids. We are waiting for my bowels to wake up. The hospital staff says I am doing really well. They are filling my abdomen with saline solution to get it ready for the experimental treatment. This is all new for many of the staff.
I was very grateful for the general conference messages. They filled me with hope and reminded me that I need to stay focused on the gospel during this time. I need to make sure I don't get consumed with myself and my own problems. I need to make sure I am still looking around me for people I can help and invite to come unto Christ.
Doug, You are an inspiration to all of us. As I said before, Hang in there, You are a winner.
