The surgery is over. Dr. Magee said they removed fluid and gelatos stuff which gave his lung a lot more space to expand into. Said there had been inflammation there which had caused it. He left two tubes in which would stay another two or three days. I hope I have all this right. I see a prolonged recovery period and am fearful that it may not be a “full recovery” to where he was before.
Did not vote today. We’ve been here in hospital with James since Friday. Of all the elections to miss!!!
Our life has been pretty easy up to now, I don’t know what it will be after this illness. I think I know why our life has been better than expected. There are a lot of people praying for us. It would have to be something that powerful. Prayer is so amazing – such a mystery. It is even more of a mystery than the fact that food comes out of dirt. I have always thought the fact that food comes out of dirt is the most amazing mystery. I told that to someone and she did not seem to think the food part was a mystery. If she does not think food coming out of dirt is a mystery, I wonder what she feels about the much bigger mystery of prayer.
I am sure I will continue to post the the blogs I had already written about living with alzheimers.
