PRAYER REQUEST FOR MRS. DON-O
Little House on Unaka | May 5, 2008 | don-o

Posted on 05/05/2008 2:38:07 PM PDT by don-o

My wife Mrs. Don-o is having gastric bypass surgery on Thursday, May 8. If all goes well, she should be discharged on Saturday.

She is very confident in the surgeon, who has done over 1800 of these operations (four hour procedure). She is doing all the research possible on her own and expects do fabulously.

The hope is for almost instant relief from diabetes and three or four related co-morbidities. The major post-op risk, statistically, is pulmonary embolism. In her case, this risk is mitigated by the fact that she's been walking and exercising a whole lot, but exacerbated by the fact that she has a presently incurable and progressive form of COPD (rheumatoid-related bronchiolitis.)

She says if y'all would pray for her she'll breathe a lot easier (!) Thanks, everybody.

Mrs. Don-o is spectacularly unforgettable. And no, I don’t see anything different.

Great photo! I love a sense of humor. It’s especially good medicine to keep a sense of humor during trying times like these.

Interesting thought from the German gent. Makes me think I should go put makeup on or something :-).

Time to flee ... the little boys were playing “chair crash” and all three managed to hurt themselves again ...

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

That sense of humor may get her through things that otherwise might be debilitating.

Lol! Oh my, what have they done to you, Mrs. Don-o? I’d sue the doctor for that awful nose job! I’m kidding of course, your pic made me smile, thought I’d try to do the same for you. ;)
Underneath those hairy eyebrows and fuzzy moustache, I see a beautiful smile and a twinkle in your eye. You look wonderful!
Hope you’re feeling great too. :)
