When my body cries out, "I am in pain"!
All I need do is look to Jesus and speak His name
As He sits and shares my pain; I quietly hear His voice speak my name and say. "Lo, I am with you always....".
I hope this entry will provide the information that many of you have asked for...
Date: April 19th
Time: I think surgery starts around 8:30am (but one never knows until it actually happens)
Surgery length: Estimation is between 5 - 10 hours
What will the surgery accomplish: Removal of the plate and three screws in the back of my neck, and dislodging and removal of the fourth screw in my spinal cord.
Where: Providence Holy Cross Hospital
15031 Rinaldi Street, Mission Hills, CA 91345
(818) 365 - 8051
Length of stay: Release date should be either Friday or Saturday
Am I nervous: Not at all... I'm counting the days and will soon be counting the hours
How will all of you be updated: A friend of mine will be entering an update on this blog every evening...
Prayer requests:
~ That surgery brings the healing that I am asking my Lord for and that the chronic pain will be gone
~ Coming off the ventilator will be easy (with the lung disease; my lungs may decide that they are more comfortable having the ventilator doing the work for them)
~ Sugars will be controlled, infection doesn't set in, and healing is without complications (due to diabetes)
Love to all,
Diana
