Well now it's my turn to ask for prayer for myself.
I had a little trouble last night. About 7:30 PM right after supper I began to feel bloated to the extreme and began to belch so loud and long that the windows almost rattled. Then the excruciating pain set in. My upper back and ribs on both sides. I had two similar attacks in the last two weeks; but I took antacids and it dissipated. However this grew more intense so it was time for the Emergency Squad. I did not want to drive and did not want my wife to either in case something happened. Anyway to shorten the story, after several tests they ruled out heart and found I have gallstones. They had to give me morphine to make the pain subside too. I was sent home 12 hours later and they decided to wait until next week for surgery so the inflammation would go down, I have to be on a fat-free bland diet until. Keep me in prayer as having emphysema may pose some complications. Pray for my wife too as she in more than a little anxious. But I am in the hands of our Lord; Creator of all life, Saviour, and lover of my soul.

Had the surgery myself. I pray the God will guide the doctor's hands and for a speedy recovery. I pray that the peace of God will rule and reign in your heart by Jesus Christ. I rebuke fear, for God has not given you a spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind. No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and God shall give his angles charge over you to keep you in all your ways.
Shalom to you my brother
Randy

I know you and your wife are anxious. You guys will be prayed for.
Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed;
Save me, and I shall be saved;
For you are my praise.

I feel for you, Brother. I've never had such pain as when I had gall bladder attacks. Oxygen stopped the pain for me. It doesn't work for most, but a few.
They usually do the surgery orthoscopically and it is not typically a difficult recovery. You will feel much better after it is done. I will be praying for you.

I told my wife while at the ER not to worry. I said that if all goes ok during surgery I will wake up and see the face of a recovery room nurse. If something goes wrong; then I will wake up and see the face of Jesus. It's a win-win!
She became fearful when one of the docs said that my lungs could cause complications. But another doc told me that they operate on folks like me quite often.
Thanks for all your prayers my brothers!!

Was in a similar situation once where I was in the hospital with a possible heart problem. I too thought it would be a win-win either way. That is truth. But the pain in my wife's eyes made it very hard. It is always harder for the loved ones than for the sick believer. That is the difficult part.
Tell them that you love them at every opportunity.

Was in a similar situation once where I was in the hospital with a possible heart problem. When I had my first gall bladder attack, I went to the ER believing it was a heart attack. It wasn't but when I told them I was either having a heart attack or had the worst indigestion of my life, I don't think I had the whole statement out before someone had a wheel chair under me and we were headed to a room.

For some reason Q tip is on my mind. May you rest in peace at Our Father's side sir.

It's surreal that we lost him over a routine operation like a gall bladder. Just part of God's plan, I guess. We'd all do well to consider that.
Today is the most important day of every person's life. Tomorrow is promised to no one.
