Tuesday morning after breakfast, my stomach started to hurt.  Since I had just eaten, I thought maybe it was just indigestion.  But it didn’t go away.  The previous Thursday, Diane had made me a Tuesday appointment with the doctor because I have had a bad cough (still have it).  She said if I got better, I could just cancel the appointment.  Well, I kept the appointment, and told him about my stomach pain.  After examining me, he said it might be appendicitis, and sent me to the ER for more tests and analysis.  The diagnosis was confirmed and I had surgery at 4 that afternoon.

I could definitely see God working through this, because I’m sure that if it had been left up to me, I would have suffered through it for a few days until the pain became unbearable, and then who knows what might have happened.  

 

Since Monday is Independence Day in Costa Rica, I don’t have to go back to school until Tuesday.  That should give me enough time to rest.  My classmates have been providing me with my homework assignments, so I should be able to keep up.

 

All aspects of my hospital stay went well, even the food.  I had a large private room – see the pics.  The hospital name is Clinica Biblica.  If you want to check them out, here is their website.
