Prayer Request & Question

Well my day is fast approaching & I am scared to death !!! Well... not really to death, but I am literally scared. But not to the point of backing out either. This is nothing new tho, I got this way when I had my hysterectomy also. But it didn't seem to be as bad as it does now. It seems like all I can do is ask myself "What if". How did you handle these emotions, if you had them ? I know I know..... Things will be OK even if I were to die. But still !!! I don't want to miss out on anything with my child. I've done enough of that just by being fat & unable to do things with her. I'll be missing Birthdays, Life Events, Holidays, School Events, etc. That is all I can seem to think about. Don't get me wrong, I worry & think about my sweet hubby also. But I didn't give birth to him I'm asking for everyone to PLEASE PRAY FOR ME !!! I'm needing peace for these crazy thoughts & feelings that I'm having. I'm needing a great & successfull surgery. Most of you know what all I'm needing because you've been there. Tammy

Tammy - I just wanted to tell you that I am thinking of you and will be praying for you and your family as you head off to surgery on Monday! You have waited a long time for this and I know you are going to do great! Hang in there girl, it is almost over... Marci

Thank you Marci !!! Your prayers mean a lot to me. Right now I do have a calm feeling about everything. So the prayers are working !!! Tammy

Hey Tammy, My surgery is on 9-26 also and I am kinda freaking out one minute and then the next I am ok. One minute I will think 0k I am not having the surgery abd then I remember why I started all of this and then think ok I am going to do this. My prayers are with you and I know how you feel .Where are you having your surgery and who is your doctor. I will be a CMMC in Jackson MS. Dr. Kenneth Cleveland is my doctor. Best wishes for a sucesssful and speedy recovery. May God be with you in all you do. Donna

Whew... you are in my shoes on the feeling scared part huh !!! I'm going to be there bright & early and have my surgery. I can't & won't back out. But sometimes those scared feelings will yank you around in a heart beat. I'm using Dr. Salameh at the UMC in Jackson. He is an angel. I trust him completely. I hope & pray that you have a very blessed surgery also & that you'll be ready to run a foot race within a few days. God Bless You !!! Tammy

Tammy, You are, and have been being prayed for. Yes, most of us know where you are coming from. It is hard, but you know - ALL WILL BE OK! I just know it. You're gonna do great, life will be great, you'll look great etc etc etc Keep the faith! HUGS Kimberly

Thanks Kimberly !!! Tammy

Hi, Tammy! I can relate to how you have been feeling. I have gone through all the emotions. I was scared, then excited, then numb. Now, I think I'm a little of all. I've been so busy that I haven't really had time to sit down and think about it that much. They moved my surgery, so I will be having surgery in Oxford on the 26th. I pray God will give you peace. I will pray for you and will be anxious to share my experience and hear yours. God bless you! Deborah Lap RNY 9/26/05 284/261/135

Thanks Deborah !!! I'm sure that you do know exactly what I'm talking about. Plus next week at this time, we will be sitting back laughing at all the crazy emotions & thoughts that we have been having. My prayers are with you also, Tammy

I love you! Look at it this way----surgery with a less than 2% chance of death or about a 99.9% chance of death before Boo graduates......Made it easier for me....I will be there Monday as soon as I can be. Love, Hugs, & smoochies Arleis
