Life After the Hospital

You never realize what you have and who you have until it is long gone on the horizon. Laying incompacitated on a hospital bed for the sum and total of 45 days can really get you to think about your life and how you are living it. When you have lived against everything you have been taught and you honestly deep down inside believe, it can take its toll on you and drive you nearly insane. While laying on my back and nearly losing my mind, I found that my life was honestly spinning out of control to the point where I didn't know which way was up. It is amazing to me how fast you can lose your way. Prayer helped me in that hospital. Prayer from me, friends, family, and people who I have never met. It is amazing to me how the people in our religon pull together to help out everyone. I have never felt such comfort and peace ever before in my life. The Lord is the most amazing older brother that anyone can have, ever!! It has taken me 22 years to realize it but the LDS church is just amazing.
When you are in the hospital for a month and a few days you have alot of time to just lay in bed and think. I happened to think about life and what exactly was wrong in my life. Then it hit me, I was not doing what I needed to do to live a happy life. I realized, in room 14, that I needed to change. I love my life, I love my family, I love my girlfriend, I love my friends, and I love the lord. I vowed from then on I would live my life according to the gospel.
