Requesting Special Prayer! - 06/20/09 10:52 PM
On July 9th I will be having major surgery done at a hospital in Reno, NV. I live out in the boondocks of the Easern Sierra Mountains in California and the nearest and best doctor and hospital is in Reno, thus the reason for the surgery there.
What I should have done years ago and did not has led me to where I am now and the need of this life saving surgery. Though I had made some good health changes ten years ago it was not enough to stop what was going on inside from the years of poor eating habits and lack of exercise I did not do the years before.
But God is good. Though I should be dead right now with the problem I have my body has created a natural bypass system so that my blood is still flowing throughout my body which is why I am still alive.
Though this little natural bypass artery is allowing the blood to go through my body it does not give me the full impact of the blood I should be getting, thus I am in a lot of pain due to claudication.
This surgery I will be having will help allow my blood to flow more effectively with what is called a Dacron artificial bypass implanted around the blocked area I now have in my abdominal aorta. If successful I should have a better more active and pain free life.
I will be in the hospital for seven days and four weeks of rehab up there before I can come home, unless my recovery is faster than expected.
So if you are inclined to do so your prayers during that time and the recovery will be greatly appreciated.
