Please Pray For My Upcoming Surgery Recovery

Well… I made a BIG mistake. 🫣

The other day, I was changing the blade on my straight razor (I've been doing it for years), and for some reason… I decided to do it differently.

Bad idea. (I didn't choose well) 

I ended up cutting four fingers — two deep enough that I need surgery this Friday. It was traumatic for the whole family. Lots of blood. Lots of “why did I do that?” moments.

But here’s the thing:

I realized replaying the mistake in my head wasn’t going to help. It happened. It was an accident. The better question is:

“What can I learn from this?”

Here’s what I’ve learned so far:

•Don’t do that again! 

•Slow down. Pay attention.

•Be grateful — this was our first ER trip since our kids were born.

I’m choosing not to focus on “the why” it happened, but “the what” I can learn from it and through it. 

If you think of it, pray for me and my family as I go in for surgery on Friday. I’ll keep you updated.

Also… if you really want to see the gross finger pics, you’ll have to ask. 😉
