From the beginning of the month, I went to Bucharest several times to have some tests on one of my kidneys. Even though I requested to have the kidney stone broken, the doctor chose surgery. He did that because the kidney was in pretty bad shape. So I had the surgery which was followed by a painful time of recovery. I am actually still recovering. The spot is not completely healed but the doctor said there was nothing to worry about. Therefore, the surgery took me out of the ministry last month.
