Prayer Thread for Yellow Rose of Texas - THIS IS NO DRILL!!
Posted on 02/13/2003 11:28:49 AM PST by 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!!"

Roses for Yellow Rose!
So glad that she is doing better, thankful prayers & prayers for the future winging aloft.
May I make a small suggestion? When my mom was flat on her back literally for months with a serious back injury, we rigged her up a device to hold a book so that she could read. She also had a pair of glasses with right-angle prisms (like a periscope) so that she could read while lying down. My dad used the wheels and tubular metal frame from one of those hospital tables that extend over the bed, and bolted a cookbook holder to it for mom's books. I don't see any reason that you couldn't bolt a computer monitor to such a frame and tilt it over the bed so that FReeping could continue unabated . . . :-D

Great! (And tell her also that my mom, who had degenerative disc disease, a laminectomy, two spinal fusions, and pinched nerves to boot, is up and around swimming, riding a bicycle, gardening, and DANCING -- at age 77! So be of good cheer - and think of how much medical science has advanced since the 1970s!)

Just read your 3/08 update on Yellow Rose and also about your sister's upcoming cataract surgery. Thank you for giving us this update and opportunity to pray for your sister.
Hopefully both will have awesome recoveries!!
When I see the word "cataracts", my eyes and ears perk up, because eventually I will probably need some kind of treatment, too. Will she have one eye done first and then the other one later? That's what usually happens. Amazingly, she can still teach and read!!!
Thanks again, TEXOKIE!

Has Rose had a relapse of some sort and I missed it? Last time I heard,her surgery was successful,and she was expected to fully recover.
