re: e-mail update prayer request

February 2, 2004

You sure are having a tough go of things right now I will put you on my

prayer list. I also try to go to church whenever I am up to it except for

rising to greet people I stay seated throughout the sermon. Everyone in my

Church (small town) knows I have problems and come to Church whenever I can.

They are very protective of me and are just happy to see me there and encourage

me not to stand up, sit down because they do not want me to get hurt. I'm sure

the people at the Churches you attend with your chldren feel the same way. I

agree with you in that it doesn't matter that they all go to different churches

it's nice that they want to go. Take care of yourself and trust yourself to

know which dr you are most comfortable with and whose surgical decisions you are

going to take. I had my shoulder blade fused I think 3 years ago now. When my

surgeon dr faber was looking into the idea he had some dr's come up to him and

tell him he was crazy. He checked with his mentor and his mentors mentor to see

if they had any thoughts on the subject. It took a year and a bunch of

cancelled surgeries before he found what he thought would be best for me. I

trusted him and had the fusion it was one of the best decsions I made. The only

downfall was I stepped in an uncovered vent covered by carpet at my parents new

home and fell really hard. I jammed my hip, popped my shoulder out the front,

ripped out my fusion and spent 10 days in the hospital. My Dr knows at some

point he will operate on me again but he wants to wait until he feels he has no

choice but I could haave surgery any time if I told him I wanted it and didn't

want to wait. I trust him, he's always worked hard to do what is best for me

and I know that. As I'm sure you know who you trust to work on you. Take care

and I will be praying for you.
