Monday evening I drove Marjorie home from the hospital. She had been at Tampa General for 13 days recovering from abdominal surgery. We went in May 31 expecting one hour laser surgery and then I was going to drive her home in the early evening. She was still in surgery at midnight.
So the recovery has been and will be more protracted than expected. It is good to have her home, but she is not able to function alone. I drove to the hospital everyday, plus took over a memorial service, arranged back up preaching and ferried relatives and best friends from the airport to hospital. I fielded lots of phone calls. I have been just as busy since she came home, but without the driving.
The congregations Marjorie and I serve have been wonderful, as have our colleagues. Her recovery to health may take months, so moving plans may be put on hold.
We have decided that I will go to St. Louis and that she will stay home with her sister and a friend flying in to stay with her while I am gone. She had many projects at GA, some of which I will do for her, and some which just will need to fall by the wayside.
Glad to hear that Marjorie's back home. Good news. I'll miss seeing her at GA, as many will I'm sure. It will be good to see you there.
Best wishes for Marjorie's recovery.
Clyde,you and Marjorie are in my prayers. I'm glad she is finally home. There is no 'good' time for these things, but with your upcoming move, the complications and logistics must be enormous.
May her recovery be complete and may your work at GA be fruitful.
