Please lift me up prayer friends

Post by Meridian_Mike »

Hello everyone!
Nothing really serious. I just had surgery last week for a hernia and I was expecting to waltz home from the hospital like nothing had happened.
WELL... I sorta underestimated the effect the surgery would have on me. I guess at 65, am just not superman anymore....LOL.
It has been a good bit harder to recover from this surgery than any I can remember.

Getting old ain't for sissies!

Could y'all please join with me in asking God to help me recover from this surgery so I can get back to my normal life (such as it is).....
I have work to do and knives to fix!!

God bless you all!!!!!!

Mike

Praying for you Mike. ::tu::
God is lighting your path, healing you and he's also got your six, It's all right here in this verse: Isaiah 58:8-
"Then shall your light break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up speedily;
Sixyour righteousness shall go before you, the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard."

Thanks you so much for the thoughts and prayers my friends!

I am finally back at work today. I had to take a detour by the dentists office this morning but I am much better in general.

We had some nasty weather move through our area yesterday but God took care of me and my family!

God is GOOD!!!

God bless you all, my friends!

How are you doing Mike? I have been wondering because I had a hernia surgery in 2019.
My wound got infected with staph infection and they had to take the mesh out 30 days later. Just want to make sure this is going on with you, and that is will be praying against infection!

Let us know how you're doing so we can keep praying specifically for you. ::handshake::

Thanks so much for asking Dale....

I am doing much better now.

I was worried about the staph infection thing (like you mentioned) My wife told me that is a common occurrence with an umbilical hernia surgery because that area is hard to clean thoroughly. I have been faithfully washing and taking care of the area as specified by the Doc and all is going good.

It has been 2 weeks now so I think I may have stepped out of the woods.

My energy has been good the last 2 days....

God answers prayers!

Thanks for praying for me everyone!
