I am seeing a neurosurgeon on December 6th. I know that I am going to need at least one surgery to fuse my first 3 or 4 (or perhaps even more) vertebrae in my neck. There is also a chance that I have a Chiari malformation; basically my cerebellum and brain stem could be herniating out of the back of my skull, through the hole that is supposed to be just for the spinal cord. The bottom of my spinal cord could also be attached and creating tension all they way up my spinal cord.

The surgery to fix the Chiari is one of the most potentially dangerous, and one of the most painful and difficult surgeries to recover from. As I deal with a pain on a daily basis, the surgery pain does not scare me so much, but since I have a few other underlying disorders (including a collagen deficiency, which affects my skin, muscles, bones, ligaments, blood vessels… basically anything with collagen in it, which is important for healing from surgery) I am considered high risk.

I have been trying not to worry, but well, I’m human, and humans worry when they are facing any type of surgery, and the riskier it is, the more they worry. However, I have been trying to remember Matthew 6. "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat (or drink), or about your body, what you will wear… Can any of you by worrying add a single moment to your life-span?" But again, since I am human, I am too quick to forget that. So I guess that would be another good prayer for me; that I would not just remember those verses, but to actually live them.
 
Loving God I implore a great overflowing of healing and grace upon datingtrappists.
Have compassion, I beg You, on this brave soul,
and upon this body that is struggling with such problems. I ask that You will ensure the best possible outcomes in the impending surgeries, and for datingtrappists’ life.

God bless you dear soul
 
Mary, please pray for your child in this time of worry.

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.
 
PATER NOSTER,
qui es in caelis,
sanctificetur nomen tuum.
Adveniat regnum tuum.
Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie,
et dimitte nobis debita nostra
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem,
sed libera nos a malo. Amen.
 
Praying that your surgery is successful and that you recover quickly …
 
Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
Dear Father in Heaven, bless your servant who is facing very delicate surgery, grant your servant peace of mind while going through the processes of consultation and further diagnosis, and then finally the operations. Grant defend your servant against anxiety. In Christ’s name. Amen.

I feel as if a dam has been opened. I have dealt with the prospect of my health worsening for a very long time (that’s what happens when one is dealing with degenerative, progressive and chronic illness… I have a collagen defect, which causes horrible chronic pain, and several other debilitating symptoms, including postural tachycardia (I found out I had that after I converted to Catholicism [Catholic Calisthenics, or so I’ve heard the frequent postural changes from kneeling to sitting to standing, helped with the diagnosis]), frequent nausea and vomiting, and somewhat frequent (3-4 times a weeks) issues with being unable to stand up for more than 10 seconds because I feel that the ground is being kicked from under my feet and I don’t know which way is up or down, or left or right (although I’ve not had trouble learning the epistle from the gospel side ;)👍.

I had a severe attack of nausea and balance problems together just a few minutes ago, which was only one of many that I’ll have today. I was able to give thanks to God for that, and offer up any discomfort and pain that came along with it, and submit my will to His, whatever it may be. I have been resisting His will for such a long time, and have wasted much time doing so. In any case, being able to offer it all up, loving and freely is a very big thing for me, as it is probably the first time I have been able to do it, and feel like it, and to embrace the cross He has so lovingly given me freely. That He called me worthy enough for Him to suffer such a death brings me to tears; that He calls me to join Him in that suffering brings me to an utmost joy! His will be done!

I do not underestimate the power of prayers of those who are striving for holiness (as the prayers of a righteous man avails much), and I just wanted to give a prayer of thanksgiving for all of the wonderful prayer warriors here who have prayed for me in the past, those who post wonderful prayers and words of kindness and charity, and those who do not post, but pray earnestly for all of the needs mentioned here. I pray that God will bear great fruit through all of you for many years to come!
 
May God bless you datingtrappists
