Have you ever had surgery? What for?
One late evening many years back, we got a call from my sister’s school that she had been rushed to the hospital because she was very sick, and on getting to the hospital the doctor said she had appendicitis that could rupture in the morning if not removed immediately. It was very critical. The school called because they needed a family member’s approval and signature before the surgery could be done. The authorization and every necessary arrangement were made on the phone so they could save my sister’s life.
I remembered how spooked and worried everyone felt especially my mother who lamented and prayed the surgery would be successful. The next morning as early as 7:00 am, my mother headed to my sister’s school and straight to the hospital, and we received the good news that she was alright and recovering fast.
