Pneumonia

The fever I have been fighting has been rising steadily until Saturday when I had to "bite in the sour apple," as we say in Norway, and take my wife’s advice to see a doctor. The doctor told me that I had pneumonia and gave me some medicine to take for one week. Sunday evening Per Kristing, one of the elders in the church, came to anoint me and pray for me. Today, I feel so much better that I had to post the good news.

    I am glad you feel better, Erling! We’ll keep praying for you. You are most fortunate to have both a healing and restoring God, a caring wife, AND doctors that can help you:)

    I looked up ‘å bite i det sure eplet’ in a Norwegian-English dictionary and found definition 3) especially gratifying.
    bite i det sure eplet
    1) bite the bullet
    2) swallow a bitter pill
    3) take one’s medicine
    4) swallow one’s pride
