Surgery Went Well

Praising God at this moment!! Surgery went well. I am still having a lot of nausea. But, I did much better than before. I had the same CRNA who has done my anesthesia in the past. So, praising God for her expertise! She always does a good job and I typically do not "get sick" after anesthesia. I am still feeling really yucky, but am going back to resting in a few. I was moved up on the schedule, so I had my procedure at 0830 vs. at 1130. The surgeon was able to do the procedure laparoscopic vs. having to make a large incision. I have 5 small incisions. I have one to two weeks off from work to heal, so look out for more postings to catch up on the past few months, soon!

I was there really early and my best friend, Eugenia, took me as my sister has been helping with my mom. For those that don't know, my mom is having some health problems. They think she had a TIA. So, we keep praying! :o)

Praising God for his faithfulness!
Psalm 126 is the scripture I am hanging on to during this time. :o)
A song of ascents.
1 When the LORD brought back the captives to Zion,
we were like men who dreamed.
2 Our mouths were filled with laughter,
our tongues with songs of joy.
Then it was said among the nations,
"The LORD has done great things for them."

3 The LORD has done great things for us,
and we are filled with joy.

4 Restore our fortunes, O LORD,
like streams in the Negev.

5 Those who sow in tears
will reap with songs of joy.

6 He who goes out weeping,
carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy,
carrying sheaves with him.
