Prayers for …me (dangerous suregery on Nov. 22nd)

[Shewolf]

Well I guess it’s time you all find out. For two years now I have been battling an infection that affects the glands under my arms. It has steadily gotten worse with time. It is now so bad my right arm sometimes goes numb or has bad shots of pain running through it right along the area of space between the last two fingers of my hand. This often makes it hard for me to do things like typing and holding my daughter up.

Yesterday I went to a general surgeon regarding my arms and found out that I’ll need to have the glands removed. Nothing but a few patch jobs on the right but the left arm is so bad that they have to remove the whole area. After doing this they will need to do a skin graph taking skin from my leg. Well this means that sadly over the Thanksgiving weekend I’ll be in the hospital recovering. So I ask whether or not you believe in God that you pray for me and that nothing goes wrong and that the aping is not so bad that I wish I could die.

I am scared and so I also ask for support from those of you whoa re my friends and even if you don’t’ like me please pray for me. I hope that by getting this surgery I will be able to avoid having to get shots of medicine daily and that I’ll be able to hold my daughter again. I will be going in around 8:15 on Wednesday the 22nd and the surgery will be at 11:15 after that I shall be in the hospital for at least three days maybe long since the doctor doesn’t honestly want me leaving until the area they remove the skin from is healed up enough that I can walk up the stairs to my place without causing my leg to bleed badly. So please pray or wish me luck.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. 

[Antrinar]

Hi there.  I'm new here but thought I'd say all the best and good luck.

[Sek]

Yes.. I wish you the best of luck and a speedy recovery!

[Izzban]

Wow, sounds painful, Shewolf

My thoughts and wishes to you for an easy surgery and a speedy recovery.

[Omniverse]

Ewwww, surgery sucks. Never fun hanging out at the hospital.

Just be sure to hit that button a lot for the good drugs.

While your recovering, you may check with the hospital, at one of the hospitals here you can have a laptop brought to your room and get online through the wireless hospital network (free laptop rental is part of recovery and other wards here).

Can't imagine what your surgery will be like, I know when I had surgery several years ago it was no fun (Ended up watching ER reruns in recovery, and hit my button a lot). Once it was all said and done, I felt much better... but still getting there sucks.

Good Luck, try not to worry too much (worrying about it can be worse than having it ), and think happy thoughts.

Good luck - and from what I know of the surgery you're talking about, you should come out the other end just fine.  Remember to let everyone around you know that they have to be extra nice to you for awhile and keep a handly little shit list around to jot down just who didn't so you can send them a truckload of fresh manure for their next birthday 

Hang in there 

[Eenah]

Good luck Shewolf, I know all will go well for you. 

may the  gods look over you also

[Shewolf]

thanks guys and i have to preregister so I'll most likely ask about the wireless net when I do inform them it's for my classes of my online school courses

[Aahzz]

Hmmm...I've been praying alot lately....I'll add another for you!

[Meepichi]

You're in my prayers!! Take care and we look forward to your healthy return! 

[Entdaddy]

While I don't know if he's accepting my calls anymore, I will pray to God for you.  I'm sure you will be fine and I wish you the best of luck.  Hopefully it will be all worth it in the end.

You have my prayers. I honestly think you'll be fine my dear.  Surgeons are amazing nowadays. You should see what they had to do to heal me up. Rest assured it was a far larger wound to seal then yours will be.  I turned out okay - just can't play ice hockey anymore

You'll be fine. Just remember when you are laying in that uncomfortable hospital chair/bed why you're doing it. Your daughter. She's what's most important here.

You both have so much ahead of you 

[Halena]

Hi Shewolf

You are very much in my prayers, I am sure everything will go fine.  Medicine has come a long way even in the last few years. And when you are all done, will be able to lift and carry your sweet baby again

[Shewolf]

ok you guys did it again brought a tear to my eye this early in the morning.

You'll be fine. Just remember when you are laying in that uncomfortable hospital chair/bed why you're doing it. Your daughter. She's what's most important here.

oddly enough I find the hospital beds more comfortable then my bed at home... i think that's the only thing besides being able to hold my daughter again I am looking forward too, is that sad or is that sad?

[Ryuken]

There is nothing sad about looking for the good aspects of a really bad and stressful situation, and I think something as simple as being able to hold your daughter again is a wonderful thing to look forward to [and playing with all of us loonies again ]. I have never had to have surgery, and the thought of going under the knife would fill me with apprehension, so just hang in there and we are all wishig you well. I am not a really religious person by conventional standards, but my prayers and thoughts are for you in this rough time. Every goblin and wight I kill will be for you to pull through this. 

[ulrig]

Good luck and please do expect the best.  While it is only natural to worry and surgery always has its risks, yours sounds like the chance of a good outcome is very, very high.  Like everyone else says, when you start to worry, just think about holding your child and how much better every day to come will be.
