Prayers and good thoughts needed



Recommended Posts

I need some support today. My husband is undergoing pretty major surgery to remove some bone in his hip this afternoon. He is parapalegic and has had some major health issues the past 3 years. In fact, I have almost lost him a few times.

Soooo... any good thoughts, prayers, white light or whatever your thing is sent my way would be greatly appreciated!

My family's prayers are with you and your husband, I pray that God will guide the Doctor to do what is needed and that then God will lay his healing hand on your husband and give him peace and rest through all of this. I also pray for a hedge of protection for you while this is happening and that God will give you peace and rest so that you will have a complete peace about all of this.

Drewslou, I will definitely keep your hubby and family in our prayers. I know where you are coming from. My father has been a quadriplegic for the past 40 years. I was six when he broke his neck in a diving accident. He is in ICU right now. On Wednesday his fistula (sp) for dialysis ruptured and he lost 3 pints of blood had to go in and have surgery to reconstruct the artery. I know the health issues with Quads & para. Keep up the faith and god is always at your side. Please keep me updated on his progress.

God Bless, DeAnn

I wish I'd seen this earlier so I could have been praying for you guys as well. But I know that God is good and has heard the prayers that were lifted up for you and your husband, so I trust that all went according to His perfect will. I will be praying for comfort and peace for you and your family and will be anxious to hear back from you.

Prayers for your husband that the surgery is easy and totally successful. We ask that this surgery's recovery be swift and start him on the road to better health. Thank you God, already done. Amen.

Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts. Hubby came through surgery like a champ. It was a pretty complicated operation per the surgeons but all went well. He didn't even have to go to ICU after! This has really been a tough past few years with his health and I'm hoping we are finally going to see a light at the end of the tunnel... just hoping it's not a train! He will be in the main hospital at least through Tuesday and then may move to a step-down unit for a couple of weeks. So much for a fun 3 day weekend!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
