GG, I can imagine that you're exhausted after being so strong for so long. Let us be strong for you for this bit. Consider yourself showered in dust- we'll see you back here healthy and happy in a little bit.

Heavenly Father,

You know, more than anyone, just how difficult this ordeal has been for (gemgirl). We know that You understand her anxiety, and are aware of her pain. Please assure her of Your constant presence, and Your great love for her, every step of the way, as she goes through this operation and recovery.

We ask that You keep her safe, make the operation completly successful, ensure that her recovery is uneventful, and give her peace of mind as You return her to good health.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.



Sending you prayers and blessings, for this operation and for your complete and total restoration from any and all precancerous conditions. God bless you.

Holly, I love you so much for composing this special prayer for me. It's perfect. It says it all. And I can't thank you enough for going out on a limb and printing this on my behalf. You are an incredibly special lady. I am very grateful. I'm going to print this out and take it to the hospital with me.

I wanted to thank all of you precious and thoughtful people who responded to this thread. I will take your thoughts and comments with me tomorrow as I go for my surgery.

Holly, I really did print out your prayer and packed it in my bag. Thank you!

I'll talk to everyone again when I get into my own room. I'll be in recovery, ICU and then Step Down before that happens. They're very cautious. God bless everyone and thanks so much!

You're welcome, gemgirl. I'm sorry I'm so late responding to your sweet words, but I've been so busy at work, and tired at home, I haven't been on PS for days.

I'm still praying, every day, for your rapid recovery. Blessings to you.

Anything you want, you got it.
Anything you need, you got it.
Anything at all...you got it...baby.

Quoted from Roy Orbison.

my most positive thoughts outgoing. Colon cancer runs in my family and I've had much experience with this particular form of cancer. Please know that I am on your side and will be watching and waiting here in hopes that you are ok. Take care.

Hello all of my lovely gemmy friends! I can't thank you enough for all the prayers, positive thoughts and kind words because they worked! I had my surgery on Wed. the 29th and got into a Step Down room the very same day. I was in Step Down for a few days and was scheduled to come home the day after the 4th of July, but a nasty hospital bourne infection invaded my colon and kept me there for a few days longer. I couldn't wait to get home because I was living in insolation and frankly, it was creepy and lonely; but I'm home now. I got home yesterday. My new colon connection is working just fine ;)) and my husband and I are very happy about that. (So no more horrible ostomy equipment! Yay!) I should be back to my old self in six weeks and I'll be very happy to put this whole fifteen month journey behind me. Again, thank you so very much for caring and for praying and for all the positive thoughts and good wishes.
Blessings to you all!

gemgirl-

I am trying to think about where I may have been on June 24 when you posted this, but I know I never knew you were in the hospital or having this surgery. Nor did I know that it was your third surgery for this condition. I assure you that my prayers would have been added to those of all the other Pricescopers praying for you! My prayers for your speedy recovery will certainly be added to theirs now!

I am very sorry that you had an infection to add to your problems. I am very, very happy that your new colon is working well! My sister-in-law will be having this same procedure if she is lucky enough to reach that stage in her treatment, which her doctors hope she will, one day.

I am very, very glad that your treatment is over. Welcome home!

Hugs,
Deb
