Hello all! I would appreciate your prayers today as I am scheduled for a colostomy and hernia surgery today. About a month and a half ago I had a small umbilical hernia appear (happens in about 25% of post-surgical cases involving the gut). Then 10 days ago I started feeling really bad and ended up in the ER and then admitted to the hospital for what has been deemed a post-surgical leakage from the colon repair 4 months ago. The doctors tried treating it with bowel rest and antibiotics but my body did not respond enough. So a temporary ileostomy/colostomy has been scheduled to allow my colon to fully heal up. After 3 months the goal is to reverse. So I would greatly appreciate your prayers that all would go well today and that I will be able to adjust to my new reality. Over the last couple days I've been sitting here reading, listening to music, and praying. My heart is at peace. May it all be for His glory.
Psalms 136:1 AMP
[1] Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; For His lovingkindness (graciousness, mercy, compassion) endures forever.
