Just today, I got informed of an old "enemy" was in the hospital and having some 'surgery' done on him. A friend of mine passed on this info after he was told 5 days ago. I'm very sure my friend had wrestled with the fact of "to tell or not to tell".
While I am glad I am told, I feel disappointed. Surgery is always a risk these days. No matter what type of an operation you can go through, you can suffer some type of a complication. It could be a simple complication to a LIFE ENDING COMPLICATION.
One fact remains very clear. MRSA, which is known as STAPH Infections, is very prevalent in the hospitals. But as of CNN has said recently on it's news site, you ought to be aware of this:

It's strange. For years they said we had to be careful of sex (whatever if you are gay, lesbian, or straight) because AIDS was the number one killer disease. But now advances are made to stem the AIDS crisis and at the same time, there are drugs to help.
Today, it's staph infections. It's spreading faster in a lot of places. Even in schools! What does this mean? Schools, health clubs and various places have to wipe down equipment as much as possible. Keep your hands washed at all times. Make sure all your wounds are taken care of!
I hope my old enemy puts himself in the hands of God. Whatever he lives or dies, God will be the final judge. But overall, let's be careful and stop staph from spreading.

Old enemy or not. Friends or Foe, the Bible says "Thou Shall Love your neighbor." Even if the person is an old enemy, that person will always be a part of the past and part of the memory of the person in the past. I hope God takes good care of him through the surgery and so on.
