Continued prayers for you!!
It sounds like you are on the ball as far as following through and not being passive. Always remember this isn't a spectator sport, you have to be an active participant. If there are times that you are too ill to handle it yourself you need a family member to act as a patient advocate for you so you don't get lost in the system. You will be in my prayers.
Best wishes. You are braver than I.
You and yours are in our prayers.
God bless and my prayers are with you.
From someone who has had three corneal transplants (a much less serious type of surgery, I know) where two of them were under a general and one under a local, may I suggest strongly
HAVE THEM KNOCK YOUR ASS OUT!!!!!!!!!
Of course, in my case, I literally had to watch them do the surgery on my eye from the inside, and hopefully you will be at least somewhat shielded from the operation. My surgery (the second of my three) literally wiped me out for over a year from the psychological affects, not the physical. The third and most recent surgery hardly bothered me at all in that way (I'm still in pain more than a year later, but hey, I can kinda see)
Goodness I sound whiny, sorry about that.
I trust that your surgery will be less stressful. Again, my prayers are with you.
I'll sure keep you in my thoughts on Thursday!
I said some prayers for you and your family. I will keep you in my thoughts. Good luck!

Prayers for you, Joe. God Bless you and yours.
Prayers from my family.
Best of luck to you.
Bless you. Prayers for you and your family.
We are confident that You are as near to Joe as the very breath he is breathing right now, and we are also confident that You will carefully orchestrate every part of his surgery on Thursday. You are his strength and his shield, and You will not leave him or forsake him. You have seen him grow in his faith and in his trust of You throughout this trial. Show him Your favor, Lord, and bring him steadily back to good health. Nothing is too difficult for You and we know that You will work all of this for his good and for Your glory. Grant him Your peace and confidence and may he feel the utter weighlessness of knowing that You are taking care of everything. In the Name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.
God bless you, brave friend!
good luck! And stay still, don't want them removing the good parts. :D
Prayer Eagles UP and God Bless Ya.
Continue to be strong.
best wishes and prayers!
Prayers for a good report and fast, full recovery.
I'm sorry about this, Joe, but you have shown us how strong you are and that you are prepared to fight like hell once again.
Here's hoping for the best possible outcome.
We'll do our part -- good thoughts and prayers starting right now.
Good luck and may God bless you and your family.
No sweat, Man - - keep a positive thought.
I recommend listening to good music, too. Seriously.
