BACK SURGERY

Saw the surgeon today, and he is going to be doing surgery Wednesday afternoon, minor surgery, great news is that the DOC says this is a fixer, and its his specialty surgery.

Please keep me in your prayers, I know I hate to even bring it up, in comparison to what everyone else is going through this is the least of your worries. I just ask that if you happen to remember to say a small prayer that God guides the surgeons hand while he fixes my lower back, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you
Beth

    sorry, I'm not always on the board and I don't know what's going on with your back, but good luck and hope all goes well with you.
    (I've had back surgery 19 years ago and did well.)

    Surgery
    Don't ever hesitate to bring anything up that you are going through. This type of surgery is definitely worth praying about and you have mine. Hoping for a very speedy recovery for you and please let us know how you are doing. Prayers on the way.

    You are in my prayers EVERY nite...... but will send some special vibes your way for a speedy recovery. The cement they put in my back fixed 1 of the fractures but the other fracture they could not cement so I had to get fitted for a back brace to wear all summer. The fracture has to remain as immobile as possible or it will not heal. So far... the brace is working like a charm!!! A bit uncomfortable but hey...whatever it takes.... You take care!

    Thanks again Everybody
    I just love everyone here. When ever I have ever needed to talk, to vent, to cry, or to just ask for prayers, you all have ALWAYS been there for me. I thank God for everyone here EVERYDAY.

    My procedure is at 230 tomorrow, then bed rest for a few days, will keep everyone posted.

    Thanks

    Beth, we are here for you no matter what you are going thru. Actually, I would much rather hear about something fixable in your lower back than any type of cancer issue. Anyway, my prayers are with you for a successful outcome.
