Hi Mom,
The picture attached is pics the Weinman kids sent me i have them above my desk, they are awesome, please tell them thanks!
I cant really remember much earlier this week before my surgery. Just a lot of tracting and it was really windy. So come friday night a really nice family took us to Johnny Rockets and i got this huge burger and afterwards felt these sharp pains. I thought it was heart burn and asked for some tums at the appointment we had after dinner. They kind of helped but then i couldnt walk to the car because it felt like i was being stabbed. So we made it home and i crashed on my bed right away. I kept waking up at night and then in the morning i knew i had to go to the urgent care. So we did and then the doctor there made it sound like i had cancer or something awful and told us to go to the ER immediately. Then the doctor at the ER said it could be a couple things. One was a Crohns flare up (which is very bad) and i was praying it wasn't so i was more than happy when it was just a appendicitis. They got me prepped for surgery within 40 minutes of the results of the Cat Scan. I literally got to call you as they where wheeling me into the operating room, so that was awesome. The only question i asked her was how long until i could eat. She said it was depending on how i handle the liquid diet after surgery.
Long story short i got to eat Sunday morning! So Then the whole youth came and visited us in the hospital. They asked what they could do for me and I had them sing Jesus wants me For a Sunbeem. It was really funny. Then i got to go home. President and Sister Albright stopped by the apartment and brought me these things called DC Cookies. People wait like 2 hours in line for these things. She special ordered them online and got them for me. Thats just a sample of how awesome my mission President and his wife are. Well i dont remember much more, which could be the morphene or vicadin, ill leave that up for debate. My companion spent the night with me in the hospital and said I talked to you after recovery, but I don't remember much. A lot of people from my ward came to visit me, even before I was out of recovery and they have been great about bringing me stuff since I got back to my apartment.
The pain isnt too bad. The vicadin is helping. The Albrights are way cool about it . The other Elder that this happened to was out for 5 days. I dont think i'll be out that long so i'll be back anywhere from Thursday to Saturday. But im trying to do my best and recover so we'll see what happens. I have to go shopping today so that all the other elders can use the scooter thing, hahaha im excited for that. I am feeling better and and am gonna be inside until thursday and see if i can work then. Im in good hands, dont you worry mom!
Love
Elder Powell
