    Prayer request

    I go in tomorrow to have a trial electronic stimulater procedure on my back . I have put it off as long I can , it's hard to even walk . This is a trial procedure , the leads are put in the spine and unit taped to your back for 4-5 days . It must give you at least 50% relief or they will not do the real stimulater procedure which is all implanted under the skin on your back .

    I chose this rather than back surgery , if it fails to work for me I still have the back surgery as an option . I have been talking to our Lord , asking that this procedure will be successful . I appreciate any prayer for my situation .

    Thank you
    Charlie

    Definitely praying - I will be looking at that choice in the next couple years. Dx severe central stenosis L4/5 for me. I'm getting by with a back brace so far, as long as God provides relief this way I'm happy.

    Father God. I lift up our brother and your faithful servant Charlie to you today. Be with him and guild the doctors as they test this simulator for his back. I pray that you would give him the relief that he needs for his pain. Give him the strength that he needs to endure this surgery. Give him the healing that he needs. I pray that you would wrap your healing arms around him. Pour your blessings on him. In the name of you Son and our Savior, Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen

    Father, I come to You to pray for the successful surgery for Your faithful servant Charlie. He has been a generous, caring, and helpful man. Father, Please guide his medical team that will do his surgery and please take all concerns and pain away from him. Please allow Charlie to heal quickly and once again allow him to resume his life's service to You. AMEN

    I have been praying for you and will continue to do so - Heavenly Father, we ask for healing for Charlie and relief from his suffering - and that you would make Your Presence known to him in the places of his life that are the most unseen

    I want to thank everyone for your thoughts and prayer . The procedure went fine , spend a lot of time waiting and talking to the doctor , factory rep from the stimulater company who programed the remote control and of coarse the repetitious paperwork . You can crank this thing up till it feels like you just grabbed a 110 bare wire . I'm going to experiment with it till Friday when I have to make the decision if I want the real implanted model . Again thank you .

    I've prayed for a lessening of your pain, Boaz, and asked for an eventual full recovery.

    I am so glad that you are feeling good....I bet you will like it and I am extremely interested into your assessment of this device. May God walk with you and hold you in the palm of His hands as you make your decision.....Paul

    Praying for you, Charlie, for a good result. But even if it doesn't work well enough, back surgery now has developed so much that it's absolutely amazing what the docs can do, God willing of course. As always, whatever surgeons you choose to do your work, check them out as thoroughly as possible, and make your choice. In my experience, the best docs are usually affiliated with the larger hospitals. Decide on your first meeting with the doc whether you think he has the right attitude - no God complexes, and no overly sensitivity to things that really don't matter. And one with a good marriage and family life seems to not let his mind wander to his mistress or his sailboat, etc. while doing the surgery. Good luck in overcoming these back problems. Sounds like you made some of the same mistakes I did early in life.
