Back in the hospital.....wasn't doing well yesterday and this morning. Went into CCNW this morning with right side abdominal pain, and they admitted me across the street. Have done lots of tests again...they are saying kidney stone. We are always leery of other/more infections.
Pain has subsided...we'll see what comes next.
The pain I experienced prior to going into CCNW this morning was about as bad as I've experienced. As I grow in my knowledge of myself, the more I find I don't know about myself. I feel like my faith and patience has grown in the past few months - but as I experienced that pain this morning, I became impatient and pessimistic.
In Elder Bednar's CES Fireside on March 3rd he said, referencing a conversation he had with Elder Neal A. Maxwell, who went through Leukemia, "I asked Elder Maxwell what lessons he had learned through his illness. I will remember always the precise and penetrating answer he gave. 'Dave,' he said, 'I have learned that not shrinking is more important than surviving.'”
In my impatience and pessimism, I fear, and I desperately want to avoid, shrinking.
