I spoke again with Van Crouch yesterday. He was in great spirits. His recovery has been miraculous – bless the Lord!! He says he is now (11 days after surgery) where he was expected to be at six weeks, if I understood him correctly.
Not surprisingly, he had a funny story. While he was in the hospital, he was pretty well sedated. Before he was discharged, he had to complete some paperwork. A few days after being discharged, he had a visit from someone he thought was going to talk with him about home healthcare. They talked for a bit, but she just stared at him. Finally, she asked him, “Are you terminally ill?” Surprised, he said, “Oh goodness no. I just had knee replacement surgery.” She shook her head because she was from hospice. Apparently, as he filled out the paperwork under the sedation, he checked that he wanted to talk with someone about “hospice” instead of “home healthcare.”
Rev. Crouch’s rapid recovery is to the praise and glory of the Lord!
