OT: Prayer Request-I'm having surgery (UPDATE)

[Bogie35]

Hey fellas.

I'm having sinus surgery at 8:15 in the morning. He's going to clean out the blockages, reduce the membranes, and repair my deviated septum.
We tried it back in April, but he hit an unexpected artery and had to abort the operation early. I literally almost bled to death on April 8th, losing more than 10 units of blood (blood pressure dropped to "50/30", hemoglobin only "6"). Needless to say, I'm a little nervous this time. But, I'm just tired of struggling to breathe.

Please pray for me and the docs, and most of all for my 9 year-old son, Elijah. He has Asperger's Syndrome, and I'm his only true earthly advocate. If anything goes wrong, it will devastate him.

I know I'm sounding like a wimp!

God bless you all,
bogie

UPDATE:

Thanks to God's grace and your amazing friendships, my surgery was a complete success!! No complications this time! I'm spending tonight in hospital just for monitoring. Should go home in the morning.

I am grateful for your prayers and truly humbled by your thoughtful responses. You guys are absolutely THE BEST!

Sincerely,
Bogie

No, a "wimp" wouldn't have the courage to ask a bunch of fellas like us to do knee-time just for him.



P.S. I wish more of my male patients weren't too macho to seek medical help to begin with. I get tired of seeing the "ruggedly independent" strong-silent-types go down to heart attacks, strokes, prostate, colon, and all the other maladies we could save them from if they weren't too wimpy to ask for help. At least for the married ones sometimes I can get their wife (who likely comes in regularly for preventative maintenance) to nag them into taking care of themselves as well as they take care of their motorcycles, guns, and cars...

Bogie....they are going out for sure, and will continue to do so! I do know how you feel about your Son as I have the same setup here with my 10 year old. It can be overwhelming. Take it day by day and get well soon! Chris

Prayers up. Not a wimp at all. I've had sinus surgery, and it was no fun, but the results were really great. Best 5 years of sleep my wife ever had!

[Rod WMG]

You have my sincere prayers and well wishes. And your son also.

No, a "wimp" wouldn't have the courage to ask a bunch of fellas like us to do knee-time just for him.

To the good doctor's opinion I will add that it takes a lot of courage to repeat a procedure that darned near killed you on first attempt. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

[C. Cash]

btt........
