: " SURVIVING THANKS TO THE LORD " 

May be an image of 1 person, beard, eyeglasses, tree and outdoors

On pain's bed, after the operation, my body rests* Motionless the view out of the window tries to enjoy While my soul the opportunity of peace grasps to think How the gifts the spirit provides, could I better employ! © Demetrios Trifiatis 19 October 2022 * Last year, on the 19th of October, after a fall a large Hematoma was created in my brain. The doctors didn't think I could survive, or even if I managed to survive, still were not certain I could walk or talk. However, a young doctor, named Christos Koutsarnakis, who believes in God, performed an extensive Craniotomy that lasted for four hours. His faith was rewarded! I was saved and, thank God I have no problems with my walk or my speech. I thank the Lord and the good doctor! God bless him and God bless my wife who saved my life by taking me to the hospital while unconscious, plus all of you who have prayed for me!

I wasn't on Poetry Soup until Oct 26th of last year, so I was unaware of your injuries or of God's healing of those injuries. What a wonderful testimony of God's grace, my dear friend. I was looking back through some older post and found this today. I thank God for your presence with us, you have made a great impact on my life, Demetrios, thankd you for sharing the wisdom you've been given. A FAV for me. Blessing, Bill

Well, I am half the way to recovery, my friend, Vijay. The doctor says it takes one to two years to recover. The difficult part is over. I thank God I am still here. Be blessed!
