It’s been an exciting week at Chez Buffy. My son-in-law went to the hospital for emergency surgery. He’d been ill for four days when our daughter insisted that he see the doc. He was sent on to the hospital on the suspicion that he either had a burst appendix, or it was going to burst imminently.
\nHe arrived at the hospital in the early afternoon, and they kept him waiting from three o’clock until midnight, when they started the surgery. The doctor said that the appendix had burst earlier in the week. He was kept in the hospital three and a half days, and then was sent home to finish his recuperating there.
\nWe visited with the kids (and grandkids) today, ten days after all this occurred, and other than being cautious around the girls as they played, SIL looked fine. He has recovered enough to have returned to work. His work is primarily telephone and computer oriented, but still…..he was back at work within a week of a perilous illness, and surgery. The man is made of steel!
\nWe’re all hoping that he will be more careful about delaying a visit to the doc in the future.
\nI personally felt it was a week that warranted prayers of thanks for letting our son-in-law come through this safely!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
