Transcription: I am Thursday morning
9.12.19
Post surgery. I am home in bed and cannot get to sleep. I have pain in the operative knee, and some pain in my chest + back. It's the same spot that frequently hurts when in bed. So do I panic that it may be a heart attack? Or just try to go to sleep?
LORD JESUS CHRIST SON OF GOD
Have mercy on me. LORD JESUS
CHRIST SON OF GOD Have mercy
on me, LORD JESUS CHRIST
SON OF GOD Have mercy on me.
LORD JESUS CHRIST SON OF GOD
