Prayers please...

I have begun drinking this foul garbage that is intended to clean out my system in preparation for a tag-team surgery tomorrow that is intended to reconnect my colon and repair an abdominal hernia that stretches bilaterally across the same area as the colon. all told, it will be anywhere from 6 to 8 hours under anesthesia, and heave sedation for another 24 afterwards. This is even scarier for me than that last night at home before boot cand and those yellow footprints.

Music is helping me relax and reduce the stress load, but the worry of how my boys will handle me not being here and that my wife needs to take a month off to care for the boys and without income has me deeply concerned.

Please keep us in your prayers...

    You already have the hard part under your belt, John,
    drinking that nasty stuff 🤢🤮
    6 minutes, 6 hours it's all the same. Piece of cake.

    And don't fret over your wife and kiddos, they'll be fine. If need be, plenty of backup here on the forum if required 🤔

    .....now THAT should worry you !
    (some of these peoples are of questionable allegiances ! 🇨🇦😳)

    You'll do fine, remember:
    It's all good if you let it.

    You shouldn’t! 😉

    Masimo are very successful in the patient monitoring business for hospitals. Mostly pulse & vitals etc.

    Best of luck John. 💪 ✌️

    You were included in my prayers last night and will be again, wishing you and your family the best of times. Nooshin will enjoy the time spent with the kids, even if it means having to take time off from work.
