Prayers for TexasCowboy!

TexasCowboy has been using his hip injury as an excuse to prevent his friends from shooting his new riot gun.

Well some of us offered to take a look at it for him and he decided both a proffesional and sober opinion might make more sense.

So he found a coupon and now he is going to let some old saw-bones cut on him.

Probably a better idea than letting us do it, but a few folks feelings are still hurt!

Please all say a prayer for our Cowboy that he is back in the saddle again real soon.

Please God help TC through his surgery and recovery.

I remembered Texas Cowboy's surgery date this morning and pray in faith it all goes well.

[TexasCowboy]

I need to make an apology to all.
They told me the surgery was on Monday the 14th.
I'm sure that sometime during the last three weeks one of the doctors has made it plain that Monday doesn't fall on that day of the month, but when the brain is slogging through morphine, percaset and neurontin sometimes the Atomic Table is more recognizable than one's own name.
Yes, they'll transfer me from my comfy little hospital bed to the O.R. gurney at 8:00 A.M. tomorrow.

Over the last two nights we have managed to convert my room bed into a dream of comfort with warm air blowing through cells in the mattress designed to maintain a constant pressure in each one. This is the modern epitome of comfort for patients who have back and/or hip problems. The first night I slept on it the port side sprang an air leak, and I woke up at 2:00 A.M. feeling like that dream mattress had turned into a concrete slab. The broken femur occupied and filled my world.
We fixed that only to have a repeat the next night on the starnboard side.
We finally got the whole problem solved by changing out the entire bed. I luxuriated in comfort last night. I really did NOT want to get out of my bed to face the world this morning.

The tumor has been reminding me of it's presence the last two days. We've cut off as much of it's food supply as possible, and that made it very angry.
I've been running a low grade fever, and as it dies, the body has to absorb and discard the waste products.
The short story is that I feel like I have the flu.

I doubt seriously that I'll be able to make a post tomorrow, friends. It's a five hour surgery so I'll be out of touch with the world most of the day.
If I regain consciousness at any time tomorrow, I'll make a post to let you know how it went.
Faith will be with me all day so if I can't post, I'll get her to make one for me.

Now, I'm going to catch up on some sleep in that luxurious bed while I can.
Thank you for your prayers, friends. I love you all.

"I need to make an apology to all."

There's absolutely no reason for you to apologize, TC. Prayers I amped up for you today, will simply give you a stronger running start tomorrow. Prayer is never wasted -- of that I am sure.

Rest as comfortably as you can. We're with you in spirit and prayer.

HUGS!

"My husband just finished a year long cancer battle - and he is doing great."

All the times we have shared a cafe table and drank a cup of coffee and somehow I missed that??!
Thank you, Saundra.

Our God is an Awesome God!!!

"LadyX : I did tell TC "Suck it up Marine!""

Good work, Tonk - - but what about the rest of that message??

"If'n yew don't get crackin' with the physical therapy after recovery from surgery, I have made arrangements for you to be transferred down on TDY to MCRD - San Diego."

"This kind-lookin' Drill Instructor sez he kin make yew
into a New Man in just 6 joy-filled weeks!!"

"After that, you just might able to join these guys:"

Hmmmm...shoulda sent yew one of these to pin on your sheet going into surgery - -
a REAL MAN has to wear SUMTHIN' to show he's macho !!!

Seriously, TC -- when they're about to start surgery,
close your eyes and listen to God's cadence calling --

"You're mine; you're mine;
Relax and you'll be phine..."

That oughta do it, TC -- I'll "be there" for backup, as always,

"DID YOU HEAR ME, MARINE??!!"

..:))

[LadyX]

Had stopped to where Tonk hailed me and made a reply to you, TC...

Believe Nana had made a recent post to us saying Faith told her your surgery will be Tuesday, the 14th...hard to keep up with *all* the replies..:))

[LadyX]

Oh, G of B!!

Do NOT tell anyone about this: ** CLICK HERE** to see it--

(If it doesn't work, well... I have faith you'll figure it out!)

LOL

[Txsleuth]

No apologies necessary---I never, ever know the date!!!

I paid bills last week and put the year 2006 on all of them..they say time really flies when you get older, so I guess I really am getting too old...LOL

Well, I am glad that tumor is mad--it deserves everything it is getting, but I am sorry you are having some yucky feelings...

I think by this time tomorrow night, you will have a lot of weight off your shoulders...you will have jumped a tall hurdle in your race to wellness...

And remember, you don't have to be able to run, to target shoot!!!

Prayers up--up and more up tonight...

check in tomorrow--love

[Texas Termite]

TC's surgery is scheduled for first thing in the morning. I'm told he's "first up" and he's ready!

This man has fought a mighty battle, and the pain he has endured for 6 months would not be tolerable by anyone but a man of strength such as he is.

It is time... time for relief to come from this horrible pain, time for him to once again be able to stand tall. And time for him to proceed to the next step, the treatment to knock the cancer in the a$$ !!

We all stand beside him and our prayers will flood the heavens for him. Our God will guide the surgeon's hand and grant His mercy in healing for TC.

As soon as I have word tomorrow that he is out of surgery, I will post to the board.

In the meantime......... Prayers UP !!

Hugs Cowboy..... Always.
