Having surgery on Monday, a biopsy for a lump under my chin.

Right now I am pretty spiritually dry and somewhat feeling panic at the thought of being put under. Don’t even ask why, I can’t figure it out either. If I could I might be able to do something about it. I am not afraid I won’t wake up. It is just the idea that someone is knocking me out and I am not just going to lay down and go to sleep. Maybe waking up in pain and throwing up might have something to do with it.

Please pray that I get through this without bolting out of the operating room before they stick the needle in my arm. Please pray that God grant me a little consolation before Monday. I normally don’t ask for these as I am well over the stage of feelings. But in this case, I really need to feel His presence.

Please send a few prayer His way for me for this intention.
 
Lord, grant lakotak graces for courage and joy. Send ministering angels to lakotak and the medical staff working on this procedure. May the results of the biopsy reveal good health. Mary, pray with us. Amen. :gopray2:

So many of us are in the same boat during surgery. 
Remember the boat St. Peter got into with Jesus in the middle of a storm, and he tried to walk on water as well on his own but he started to sink because his faith wouldn't, couldn't, hold him up because of his fear and lack of trust? 
Just remember, put your faith in the Lord first, and the doctors second, and remember also they have anesthesia down to an "art" now, ask to talk to the anestheseologist before surgery to answer any questions you may have, also ask your Priest to come to you if you are not able for confession/communion and also ask for an annointing of the sick, that should also put your mind at ease, and don't be afraid to ask him and other's to pray for the outcome of the surgery and tests on the nodule in your neck, I will pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet for you, and PLEASE let us know how you do ok?
Think Peace! :heaven:MV
The Lord is with Us always, even unto the end of the world.:grouphug:

Thank you, something to think about.
I will be going to confession on Sunday and having the annointing of the sick also. The last surgery I had was back in 1996, I woke up throwing up for about 8 hours and I turned as yellow as a sheet of yellow paper. I closed outpatient recovery down, and they sent me home with a bag. Because of the anesthesia affects, I could not drive for about 4 days. Also, during a surgery my mother had, she woke up during it. Probably all these things are factors. I know I am nervous.

Please do pray and I will let you know how I am doing.

My prayers are with you both now and during your surgery. I pray that you will have an easier recovery from surgery than before.
Mary.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

†

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.
