To all who follow or check in on the Jerry Lout memoir narratives. ‘Running Life’s Race with a Limp’. A momentary break in the flow of postings. Thank you for taking in the following explanation.
An overseas follower and great friend writes, ‘Your blog seems to be limping the past several days’.
My short-version of the week’s happenings.
What is your pain level on a scale of one to ten?
Ann didn’t hesitate.
Ten
Stomach pains sent my dear wife to Emergency care this week. Following a CAT scan a surgical team went to work.
The surgeon had plenty to do. Navigating, dealing with hernia and scar tissue from earlier times*. Locating and clearing a long-constricted intestine. Serious business.
I shelved my blogging pen.
The surgeon – aided we know by the ‘Great physician – prevailed. An outpouring of love-fueled prayer went far.
Ann remains in hospital – likely a few more days. But is on recovery road. Our family is grateful. Very much so.
Blog Readers, I haven’t left – just to St. Francis Hospital, Tulsa OK.
Hanging with the best woman who’s lived.
I’ll blog-post shortly. Stay tuned.
Thanks to all who pray for the good lady. . . and her limping scribe.
*A malformed esophagus at birth gave rise to emergency surgery in her second day of life. Scar tissue from six-plus decades compounded the week’s crisis. Again, Grateful.
