I am appreciative of the prayers that were offered before, during, and after my knee surgery yesterday. I rode them like a really good wave. All went well, which is especially important as I remained awake during the surgery and watched the work being done on the interior of my knee on a high definition television. The surgeon was kind enough to describe to me what was being performed as it happened, which is a remarkable way to experience any kind of surgery.
I will be out for about a week, though, and a little challenged in my communication ability by the pain medication. Please come out to support Fr. Bill Loring on Sunday and give Carol and Meg a hand should they need it. The parish could not operate as well without their faithful care.
