[Prayer Request] Having surgery tomorrow, Wed, 7/29 [update: 127]
7/28/2015 | upchuck

Posted on 07/28/2015 7:33:07 PM PDT by upchuck

Last wed evening, 7/24, I fell down the stairs at home and broke my right humerus. Visited ER and got an x-ray, cast, etc.

At 9:45 in the morning, 7/29, I'm having a surgical procedure to put a rod in my humerus from the shoulder to elbow.

Asking for prayer. I know that God won't give us more than we can bear.

Thank you.

Don’t worry. Be happy. Don’t rush things. Do what your doctors tell you to do exactly.
You do what you need to do and we’ll do the praying on your behalf. You have an army behind you. Good luck.

Prayers for your safe surgery and speedy recovery.

I had a fractured radius repaired last fall. My experience was the surgery was the easy part. Be prepared for months of rehab before your arm is reasonably functioning. Work with your therapists and don't slack on the exercises. Good luck.

Prayers for you with your surgery. I had one put in my femur 12 years ago and it has been fine.

My experience from shattered humoral head two years ago, plate and ten screws, removal of plate and screws ten months later, third surgery two weeks after second to clean out hemorage:

1. Get off pain meds as quickly as possible.

2. Do physical therapy from the earliest possible time,
as aggressively as you can tolerate.

Throw it to the Lord, like a basketball. He wants us to do this. And then relax. He’s got it.

May he bless you with a peaceful night and morning and a successful surgery. My prayers are joined with the others.

Our prayers. I’ve had similar surgery, it’s not that bad but painful at first. The pain management we now have will take care of that you’ll do fine.

I had some surgery this summer. Just remember, once they knock you out its all about waking up and moving through the steps of recovery. First few days are the worst ....make sure to keep ahead of the pain with the meds.

I had a big female surgery in which the aftermath is dealing with hormonal imbalance as well .... It’s been a tough summer! But I am better for it.

You’ll be fine, upchuck. We’re all pulling for you. See you back here on FR in short order. This will be a mere blip on your timeline. I was going to say “break a leg”; however, seeing as you already broke your arm, I’ll refrain, lol.
