Right now, I'm feelin pretty dang good. I have this vacuum sucky thing on my back called a Wound V.A.C. that is helping bring together the wound on my back. Inside the wound, they put a sponge that has to be changed every MWF (just like a college class) and today was the day. The past changes have been excruciating, so today, my nurse gave me a couple pain pills and 2 shots of morphine before the Wound V.A.C. lady came to put in a new sponge and change the dressing. I barely felt a thing. Now I know why people abuse and become addicted to morphine.
Yesterday, something glorious happened. I was awakened at 8:15 (for the 8th time that morning) by the food delivery lady. I opened the lid to find toast, bacon and eggs. Oh yeah. It was such a weird experience. I looked at it and knew it was crappy hospital food, but it was the first solid food I have eaten in 4 weeks. It tasted heavenly. I now have 6 solid meals under my belt/gown. Next up tonight.... my first real shower in 4 weeks. Thank you Lord.
Everything's coming together and I should be out of the hospital Wednesday. I need it. I'm starting to feel pretty antsy. I'll have a while still to heal up before I can continue life as usual. I'll be hanging out at my parents' house for up to 2 months. Please pray it's not that long (not that I wouldn't love to be with my parents another 2 months). I'm starting to feel like me again. God is so good.

Mike and I have been praying for you! We've been reading all the updates on Ross's blog. We're glad you're feeling so much better today!
Hi Daniel,
So happy to see you blogin' again!! I've been reading Ross' blog and your Mom's updates every day.
You have been in my prayers every day and several times a day. I planned on visiting you and then you weren't feeling that well, so thankful you are getting better every day now. Glad you're getting to eat again!
I've been reading "Irresistible Revolution" because of you too!
God bless this day for you.
Hi! I sent you a friend request and message on myspace, not sure if you got it. I haven'ttalked to you in years but I read about what happened from your cousin on DFWstangs.net I'm sure you don't remember me but I met you thru kelly and Cory Cook when we were prolly about 15yrs old. I'll send you another request my myspace name is Barbie.
Hey Daniel,
We have also been praying for you every single day, as well as our old congregation West Freeway C of C in Ft Worth! The girls and I were also going to see you, then you werent feeling up for visitors, so maybe we can catch you another time. We moved to Mansfield now, so maybe we can have a visit before you leave again. I sure miss the good old days when you, Stephen, Pope, and Jenn all came to our house and I cooked for yall. (Remember when you guys got on our roof?) :) fun times I will always cherish! You take care Daniel, we love you! Carla Roper
Daniel, good to hear youre on your way to being healthy again! You've been in our prayers and I hope you continue to feel better. I guess you'll at least have a good chunk of time to process everything thats been happening. ;)
Happy August!
