Journal Entry 

We were advised that someone from Intermountain Medical Home Health will be here today to remove my PICC line. It has been determined that my infection, which was very severe, has been eliminated and those daily IV treatments will no longer be needed. While the treatment has been a blessing, having it over with feels also like a blessing. I still have the pad on my right foot as a precaution but I am seeing Dr Phillips this coming Tuesday and that might be the end of the pads. I've been walking more and more but I'd like to get back to my preinfection goal of 7,500 steps a day.

In the mean time I'm exercising at home by doing pushups against a rail and doing 12 flights of stairs in groups of 3. (4 sets of 3 flights)

Getting well has been my main objective for the last four weeks and it's working but if like to get back to the temple and the Bishops Storehouse as soon as my aging body can handle it.

Come Follow Me 

D&C 95:5 But behold, verily I say unto you, that there are many who have been ordained among you, whom I have called but few of them are chosen.

6 They who are not chosen have sinned a very grievous sin, in that they are walking in darkness at noon-day.

"We live in a wonderful world and no doubt in the most wonderful era. There are so many lovely and desirable things to do, to enjoy, and to accomplish. There are so many people who help to make life meaningful and purposeful and worthwhile. But, at the same time, this is a day in which there is much anxiety, confusion, mistrust, and fear. This is a time when, as prophesied, many are ". . . walking in darkness at noon-day."

Elder ElRay L. Christiansen, October 1964
