22 hours from the darkside

OH Family,
Whew, I am 22 hours from my revision to the DS. I cannot believe it is finally here. My surgery is 8AM Thursday. I am so grateful for this second chance. If prayer is a part of your personal habit please please please remember me. My surgery is open and I have a huge hernia...a gift from my failed VBG. My surgeon is not going to close the wound. He is going to do a wound vac. Kccruisercats is my angel. She will post to the boards my progress.Another OH member  mjk39 is opening her home to me this evening. Her mom will accompany us to the hospital and stay with me during my surgery. OH is a wonderful community. The level of love and compassion is unsurpassed. I will be in the St. Francis Hospital in Topeka KS. As soon as I am able I will be back on. Anyone who takes the time to pray or send goodwill will be greatly appreciated. I am a widow and my children live in a different state. OH, thank you for being my family. I am so very grateful. Everyone move over. Make room on the losers bench for me. I am going to rock this DS!!!!
love and blessings

Jo Jo.

Warm thoughts and many prayers are on there way to you.  I know you will do great and we're going to be saving up a nice warm spot on the losers bench.

May you feel peace as you get to the other side of through, may everyone who has anything to do with you and this process be blessed, protected and have wisdom for the Lord and the compassion and love that only comes from Him while assisting you in this transition.  God Bless You and please keep us posted!

Wishing you all the best with your surgery. Sounds like you have a wonderful support system around you.  

I'll see that my pups cross their paws for you when they say their prayers tonight. (all nine of them - so you will have a lot of puppy paws praying for you too) 

I'll put out the seat warmer cushion on the losers bench for you !!

YOU GO GIRLFRIEND !!!!

Hugs and prayers,
Kim

Hi Ms Jo Jo.  Congratulations on this second chance.  When you say the surgeon is not going to close the wound, it reminds me of when my ex had an open abdominal surgery that they did not close.  It was left to heal and close on its own over many weeks - so it looked like a piece of beef muscle for a while under the gauze, and I think most people didn't appreciate how much this resembled living with a war injury or something.  Don't know if that is the same plan for you, but I have sympathy for what you are facing.  I am glad you have been able to receive the OH support.  Best wishes on your new DS!
