Title: Hello my friends!! Post by: bronzesnake on August 24, 2006, 04:29:45 PM Hello my friends.
So sorry I haven't posted for so long. I do intend to spend more time here. I really miss you all! :'( So it's good to be here! :D I wanted to give you an update on my health...or lack of it! ;) I have spent a few days in the hospital over the past couple of weeks, which is pretty much par for the course. This time, however, it looks like I am headed for a dangerous surgery to repair my stomach. I have suffered with severe acid reflux for a few months now, and I have not responded to medication, so I will have to have the surgery. These days, the once dangerous procedure is made far more safe by performing the surgery with a scope. In my case, I have such severe scarring from my two previous surgeries that the scope is not an option, so I will once again, be sliced from one side to the other on my abdomen. The scarring I have will make even this surgery, even more dangerous, so I will need prayer. I spoke with the doctor today, and he is going to see me in October for an evaluation, then I will see the surgeon, and he will have to map out the rout in order to bypass as much of the scarring as possible. There is even a chance that the surgery may be impossible because of the scarring, so I am not having a good feeling about the whole thing. If the surgery can't be done, then I could end up choking to death on acid, which gets into my lungs. See the trouble I'm into? Actually, I really am not the worrying type, but I am worried for my wife and children. If the worst happens...well, you know where I'm going. Anyway...my doctor has me on powerful pain killers at the moment, so I don't have to stay in the hospital unless it gets overwhelming again. Sorry to come back after such a long absence with this bad news, but this is exactly where I knew I should come. Here with my Christian brothers and sisters. I know I have been difficult, and I am truly sorry for that. It is good to be among my friends here at C.U.!!! ;D John Title: Re: Hello my friends!!
