facing surgery
it has been a unique journey in both emotional and physical terms with this intense pain i have experienced for 4 months now - i am having disc-replacement surgery on monday and will have my disc removed and replaced with a bone from a dead person -- i have been assured that this bring relief to the pain that has occured has it has been pressing on my nerves and spinal chord -
i value your prayers - My own mortality has been staring at me in the face during this whole ordeal and knowing how limited we are physically - God has been present during this pain, as he always wants to be.
Joel,
I'll be sending up prayers for you. My father-in-law had the fusion surgery (I guess that's the older version of what you're having) a few months ago, and he is a new man from having done it. Praying for the same for you, and for your anxious thoughts to flee in the meantime.
We're in town now if you need anything,
