A bit of silver lining
Thursday, Robert went to see the surgeon in his office. The doctor hadn't been very encouraging about the burn on top of Robert's foot, but when he took off the dressings, he said he saw no sign of infection. Whew, thank the Lord.
Then as he rubbed his fingers across the bio-dermus on top of the foot, Robert said he could feel it. The doctor said that was a good sign, that nerves were regenerating. "In fact," he said, "I'm surprised at how good the foot looks. I knew the knee would probably be okay, but that foot ..."
I told him, "There have been many people praying over that foot."
The doctor stepped back and looked over at me. "What, what? What do you mean."
"Many people have been praying that Robert's foot would heal," I told him.
Robert gave a sigh. "Especially me."
The doctor looked as if he weren't sure about us, then said, "Well, I'm surprised at how good it's doing."
The doctor then dressed the burns, the whole leg from above the knee to Robert's toes himself. Robert goes back a week from today to have the dressings changed again.
