Journal Entry 

The arm and cast protectors arrived in time for me to take a very nice shower before my appointment with Dr. Welch. I'm very grateful to my wife who works so hard to coordinate my post-op medical treatments.

I get a new cast once a week and get seen by my podiatrist who is actually the person most involved in my actual wound treatment. 

But I also have daily responsibilities for administering my own antibiotics. I'm beginning to understand how close I came to a tragic demise due to serious infection originating from my toe wound. I now administer a very large IV dosage of antibiotics via my PICC line every day at about noon until further notice.

Hopefully all of this results in a return to normal living for me ASAP because Cathy is probably going to undergo serious surgery soon to address her deviated septum and I will need to be there for her.

Come Follow Me 

D&C 88:35 That which breaketh a law, and abideth not by law, but seeketh to become a law unto itself, and willeth to abide in sin, and altogether abideth in sin, cannot be sanctified by law, neither by mercy, justice, nor judgment. Therefore, they must remain filthy still.

"The effect of God’s commandments and laws is not changed to accommodate popular behavior or desires. If anyone thinks that godly or parental love for an individual grants the loved one license to disobey the law, he or she does not understand either love or law."

Elder Dallin H. Oaks, Apostle
