Many thanks to all who have been praying for me and sending me get-well wishes.
God spared my life for a purpose and I cannot believe the wonder of the human body that can close up and start to heal a hole in my body after only a few days. The biggest risk at this point is infection, and thanks to Carol's excellent care, we have been able to keep the wounds clean.
I have been to several doctor's appointments here in the US, and two different doctors have marvelled that I have had no permanent damage. A centimeter in any direction and I would have bled to death, been paralyzed or would need massive doses of Viagra!
Nevertheless, the recovery has been painful at times and feels like a constant cramp in my thigh and sometimes an intense burning in the wounds then they get hot.
As I thought about what happened, I realized that the Bible says we are in a Spiritual Battle for the souls of men, and when you are in a battle, you have to expect to be shot at, and there are going to be those who are wounded or killed.
In a Spiritual Battle, those wounds can be physical which you can see, like mine, or spiritual or emotional, which you cannot see.
I am thankful that I will live to fight again, but as always appreciate your prayers for a speedy and complete recovery.
Rich
