Prayer Thread for Yellow Rose of Texas - THIS IS NO DRILL!!

[TEXOKIE]

Long time Freeper Yellow Rose of Texas has recently had an attempted back surgery during which her aorta, which was encased in scar tissue, was nicked and had to be repaired. In a previous prayer thread, many many folks have graciously offered their prayers and comments of encouragement to her. I spoke with Yellow Rose of Texas yesterday and here is the latest!

Her recovery to the previous surgical attempt to do the back surgery has been phenominal. She saw her doctor two days ago on Tuesday. She is doing well enough that he has scheduled her back surgery in a week for TUESDAY FEBRUARY 18, 2003. She had initially been told it would be a few weeks longer to recover, but she has amazed her doctor and he judges that she is ready for the next procedure.

Rose has asked me to thank you each and every one so very much for all your thoughts and prayers on her behalf. She asked me to quote her,

"Thank you so much. I feel each and every one of your prayers. The Good Lord is with me and my family. I dont feel scared at all. This surgery will stabilize my back and it'll all be fine. I feel so protected. I am hoping that this surgery will enable me to once more return to the freeping that I enjoy. It has seemed in my life that if something unusual can happen, it will happen to me. Please pray that the surgery be routine. NO SURPRISES!! LOL!!"

Suzie, good to hear you are coming along! I know there is such a thing as sick of being sick!

Might make you feel better if I tell you that Sneakypete got some good news last week! But, as you know, just the pain can become a major pain in the butt!

And another friend has had seven major spinal surgeries at Johns Hopkins since '97!

Shall we start a club?

Hi Ms Feather!

I agree it is wonderful news to learn that Rose is doing so well! Thank you so much for all your prayers and petitions for God's blessings!

[TEXOKIE]

Thanks, amom for all your prayers for Rosie! You are welcome for the report. Thanks for your prayers for my sister as well.

[TEXOKIE]

You are welcome for the update, GR. THanks for all your prayers. I know that Rose and my sister do appreciate them.

[TEXOKIE]

Thanks for your prayers, Miss Marple! I will tell Rose of your continuing support! Rose was one of my first acquaintances as well, as were you! I really enjoyed the clintoon countdown days! I have always been happy to see your posts.

Thank you for your concern about my sister. I will certainly let you know when I get her thread started later on this month.

[TEXOKIE]

You are welcome for the ping. You are no less faithful, for you are always so quick to respond. My thanks to you for that! I join you in your own beautiful prayer. Amen.

[TEXOKIE]

You are welcome for the update, CW. It is my joy to be able to use this forum provided by JimRob for such a high purpose. However, it is the prayer warriors responding who are the key to the power of our circle here. Thank you so very much for your prayers and good thoughts for Rose and my sister, as well as for all of our fellow Freepers.

[TEXOKIE]

Thank you for your amen, and Praise God bump, Alamo-Girl...and I'll raise you a Glory to God!

[TEXOKIE]

Thanks for bumping by, BIS! God bless you!

[TEXOKIE]

Thanks for your prayerful bump, lodwick.

[TEXOKIE]

Thank you for your prayers and those of the Silverback family! I will certainly notify Rose of your loving concern.

[TEXOKIE]

I'm joyful too about Rose's progress Don! Thanks for adding my sister to your list.

Right now, if you would, I guess say "Texokie's sister." I will ask her before I post her thread what name she would like for me to post. "Texokie's Sister" is a little unwieldy!

Thank you for joining us in prayer.

[TEXOKIE]

Thank you for your prayers, maestro! That is very sage advice about no bumpy rides!! LOL!

[TEXOKIE]

You are welcome, Christie! Rose mentioned the cookbook today. She is really enjoying it.

[TEXOKIE]

Thanks for coming by, Chapita. I'm glad that sneakypete has had some good news. Sorry that it appears he may still be having some pain though. We certainly do pray for his deliverance from that. Our prayers are also with your other friend.

Sounds like you have the makings of a very important club! Would that be the PIB Club? (Pain In the Butt Club)

[TEXOKIE]

You are welcome, P4E. Isnt it wonderful news about Rose? I just know that before too long, we'll be seeing her here again!

Thank you for your prayers for my sister.
