    Prayers Appreciated

    Keep me in your prayers as I recover from Inguinal Hernia surgery I had this past Thursday and that all goes well. I've been dealing with it for the past several months doing my job to take care of the family and it had gotten to the point I just couldn't take the pain anymore. I'm pretty sore right now and I feel so helpless having to ask my wife to do everything for me but I'm blessed to have a loving wife and some close friends willing to step up and help me in whatever way I need. If all goes well doc said I should be good as new in about 6 weeks.

    Thanks and have a Blessed Day.
    Ronnie

    Prayers sent Ronnie. I have walked that path, and it wasn't pleasant, but a loving wife, good friends, and God make the way so much easier. GW

    Ronnie, taking care of your family is Biblical. With that said you must also take care of yourself so that you can take care of your family. You have my prayers and I pray that you will fully recover.....Paul

    My prayers are with you Ronnie. I have to get the same surgery, scheduled for December. God leads the way.

    Hi Ronnie,
    Prayers sent. I had that surgery in January. Take care to not re-injure yourself during recovery and you will heal stronger than before.

    Had a friend who had this surgery. He told me that he told the Dr that he lied. He said:" Doc, you told me it would hurt, you didn't tell me I would wish I were dead!"

    He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

    I've had a few rough days since the anesthesia wore off, getting in a comfortable position to sleep or just getting up an down and getting the gas they used in the surgery out of my body was the most painful part. As of today I'm feeling very good just bored, hopefully in another week I can get out to my reloading bench and piddle around.

    Just want to thank everyone for all there thoughts and prayers, I believe with all my heart it's why I'm doing as well as I am.

    Sometimes we help, and sometimes we are helped. I have done both. Blessings on you and your family, Ronnie.

    Just an update. Remove my slow drip pain numbing medication tube an bag yesterday, that went well and I haven't felt any pain or real discomfort in the general area so that's a plus. Still feeling a bit of discomfort on the right side where they did the incision but my pain med are taking care of that for the most part and I able to rest fairly good at night and get some nap time in during the day.

    I'm just bored being in the house all day as the weather has been wet and dreary the past couple days a will be mostly all this week. If all goes well I can drive over to my casting and reloading buddies house this weekend and talk some shop, eat some good food and smoke a good cigar.

    I want to personally thank each one that has and are praying for me and my family as it's greatly appreciated.
