More Prayers, Please
I’m only on here briefly.
Yesterday’s procedure was horribly painful – just excruciating.
The doctor was 2 hours late (he was in a complicated surgery) and I had been sitting in their uncomfortable chair for many hours, which caused pressure on my sacrum/lower back area.
By yesterday evening, I felt like my lower back and my head were going to explode. Migraine pills and muscle relaxers finally made me fall asleep (around 8:45pm) and I was able to sleep all night.
Again, the anesthesia didn’t do a thing and the doctor kept apologizing during the procedure because I was, obviously, suffering silently, or so I thought..
He didn’t hold much hope for this to be a success and said he might have to step it up to another procedure that was “pretty brutal” as far as pain. He told me I could look it up online, but I am to remember he DOES give some anesthesia locally. It’s called a Discogram and I haven’t had the courage to look it up.
I’m still pretty shaky, but I sat up for a while before lunch, in the den, and did some mending. Stephanie came over and watched the girls (and me, I guess), as well as checked the girls’ school work, did some dishes, and promised to make a cake when she comes tomorrow.
I would appreciate more prayers for me to recover from this last doozie in my neck, and also prayers that I might have the Holy Spirit’s wisdom regarding any future spine procedures.
Thanks so much for always being such faithful prayer warriors! Y’all are the best of friends to me!
Be Blessed ~

As usual, I’m popping by too infrequently but I’m glad I did today! Number one, the first thing I saw was your new profile picture – WOWWWW! You look SO good! Seriously, you look so young and chipper and happy – and you should. Number two, I’m so sorry about the pain you’re going through and your procedure. YESSSS, you know I will pray for you as I know you’d do the same and I know what a great feeling it is to be wrapped in prayers. Take care ~ ♥
Aw, I’m so, so sorry for how hard this was. Lord, please give Your wisdom and abundant healing and peace. Comfort my friend, as only You can and give her hope for the days ahead.
