Update On Me

Postby Sherry » May 22nd, 2009, 9:44 am

Just an update, I will be having major surgery that is scheduled on June 10th. This surgery is one that I am not going to be able to avoid it seems as my bouts with Diverticulitis has become more frequent and severe. After several invading tests (there really is no privacy folks when dealing with one's colon) it has shown that I have diverticula, diverticulitis and scarring which has caused narrowing and fixation of the colon, which means I will need a bowel resection. How much that will be removed will be determined after one more test the day before the surgery. The surgery can be a laparoscopy-hand assisted, which will require only a 4-5 inch incision, if for some reason they can't do the lap, I will end up with a incision from breastbone to pubic bone....(pray the lap works!!!) My stay in the hospital will be 5-7 days and recuperation will be 6-8 weeks. So my summer is shot. But on the bright side I am looking at this as fixing and getting relief from a problem I have had for many years.

I ask that you keep me in your thoughts, prayers, and send all those good vibes my way!

Nancy and I are praying for you. That this will indeed fix the problem once and for all. That you will never be troubled again with it
You cannot effectively love and minister to others when you are obsessed with protecting
and preserving yourself.

Lord, please make this as simple, effective and as pain free as can be for Sherry. Wrap your arms around her for all of us. Amen.

I'm behind you, Girl! If I was closer, I would come to clean and cook, but since I can't...know that I am praying for you and thinking of you. I'm glad that you will get some relief with this.

Thank you all, to say I was nervous would be putting it lightly!

And Shellie, if you were closer, I'd take you up on that offer!! ;)

May the Lord bless you through this trial,
