Today I'm 90

Yes, today I am 90 years old. Most people say I don't look 90, and also I am able to do most things on my own without assistance. My meneory is good and I was able to learn how to type about 6 months ago. I do it slowly, but I am able to do it. I type letters, email, even blogs like this.

I have to get spiritual at this point, because my whole life has been charmed. It started early when I was about 6 years old, and I developed acute appendicitis. A neighbor told my mother that her son died recently from a ruptured appendix, and I overheard the conversation. Soon after, I developed a pain in my abdomen on my right side,and I was afraid to tell anyone, thinking that it might go away. However it did not and got worse, but it was not really very bad. I didn't move very much, because it made the pain worse. After several days the pain was a little better, but my side was tender for a long time. Eventually the pain disappeared, but I didn't feel too good. It was mostly a loss of appetite and no energy. Then about 2 or 3 years later I urinated a large amount of purulent liquid which I presumed was the abscess from my ruptured appendix.

I have read in an old medical treatment book that abdominal pain could be treated with hot compresses to the abdomen. So perhaps there were some survivors during those times also.

So at any rate, God our Father had other plans for me, and here I am at my 90th birthday and still going strong.
