John MacArthur Gives Health Update After Heart Surgery + Wife’s Very Dangerous Fall
Pastor John MacArthur of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California, gave his congregants a health update this morning following several weeks of absences.
Good morning everyone, we’re glad to see you this morning. I missed a couple of weeks. I need to thank Steve Lawson for preaching. I had to go into the hospital for anablation on my heart and it came out great, so it fixed me for the time being. So (I’m) grateful for that.
According to JHM “Ablation is a procedure to treat atrial fibrillation. It uses small burns or freezes to cause some scarring on the inside of the heart to help break up the electrical signals that cause irregular heartbeats. This can help the heart maintain a normal heart rhythm.” MacArthur continues:
So that was a week and a half ago maybe, so I think it was the Thursday I went under anesthetic. They did this procedure and on Saturday my wife Patricia fell and broke her hip so Sunday she was back in the hospital having surgery on her hip.
That’s the second hip she’s broken, that’s all she’s got. There are two other hips in our house- I’ve told the Lord do I need to put blood on the doorpost, in the lintels, the angel of death passes by.
But she’s recovering. In fact she’s on the way home from the hospital even as I speak, so we’re thankful for that. Let’s stand together as we worship the Lord
A Journal of Internal Medicine paper notes: “Hip fracture among older patients is a devastating injury in most cases. It profoundly affects the physical, mental, functional and social balance that patients used to have and, beyond the orthopedic injury, it reflects the aging process and its dire consequences. Some reports show that up to 50% of patients with hip fracture die within six months and many of those who survive do not recover their baseline independence and function.
As per reports from the same journal: “One in three adults aged 50 and over dies within 12 months of suffering a hip fracture. Older adults have a five-to-eight times higher risk of dying within the first three months of a hip fracture compared to those without a hip fracture. This increased risk of death remains for almost ten years.”
Keep John and Patricia in your prayers.
