I will keep this short and brief to say God simply answers prayers. Through all suffering there is complete joy. I had a laparoscopy surgery and colonoscopy today that so far could NOT have gone any better. Answered prayers:
1) My colon did NOT need be resected in any part!
2) No open abdominal surgery. This will be months of less recovery
3) Clear problems as source of pain that I've had for months that were addressed with surgery. My abdominal wall by my umbilicus was adhered down to my pelvis, both ovaries were adhered- the left was taken out because it was such a tangled mess, and there was more fibrosis thought to be from my autoimmune disease that they cut out. There was no more endometriosis so that disease is under control- praise God!! The fibrosis is not retroperitoneal- this is a BIG answered prayer!!
4) God has faithfully protected me, given me emotional and spiritual strength the past 2 months while in pain and waiting for surgery.
I'm doing well and expect to be discharged soon. It's hard to type with an oximeter on my finger BUT I am wondering:
What prayers are you seeing answered?
How have answered prayers changed your journey?
Smiling with Him Today,
