Christmas Blessings

What a suprise! Rick woke up on December 23 peeing blood. We spent the whole day in either the emergency room or his room (324) waiting for a Specialist to come see him. Doctor arrived at 8:30 pm and bumped two surgeries to get Rick in. So, at 10pm they wheeled him into the operating room and at 2:00 am Christmas Eve day they rolled him back to his room. He had a grapefruit size blood clot in his bladder due to an enlarged prostrate. They removed the blood clot and a large portion of the prostrate. He will be in the hospital 2 couple of days and then home to take it easy for 4 weeks. He will return to work on Jan 2 as oked by Dr. Tall (who by the way is not physically tall at all) He is doing well and his sense of humor has never been better. Thanks to all the family and friends who have called. He said calls are good but no visitors for the first little while.
The blessings are:
1. fortunately we had not started driving to Logan yet
2. the clinic we went to first sent us up immediately and contacted the specialist for us
3. the Doctor was very very good at his job
4. Sally was here to show her love by giving Rick a foot massage and energy balance
5. Andy and Laron Shumway gave him a blessing before going to surgery
6. we have good health insurance and both the doctor & hospital are on out plan
7. we have each other for support
8. we will get to spend all the time we want together for Christmas
9. it could have been cancer
10. the hospital has people come to administer the sacrament
etc. etc. etc.
