Surgery saga continues

I went back to the surgeon yesterday, and he took out left-over suture number 5! I asked him how many would typically be used in a surgery like the one I had. He said they could have used up to 10! So, I could only be half way there!

I'm pretty sore tonight. This was by far the largest and most painful so far.

Paul asked 3 times for God to remove his thorn. My only hope is that God must think I can handle this, because it's been 5 times, and more may come.
