    Going under the knife soon

    My carotid artery on my left side of the neck is blocked once again. I had surgery on both arteries back in 2012 but one is blocked up again causing plaque to cause temporary blindness in my left eye and who knows what.

    Just got back from the surgeon and he's trying to get a better scan than what I had last week done prior to surgery which may be Monday or Wednesday. If the blindness appears again, I'm supposed to go to the ER. Fighting with my insurance now to get authorization for the CAT scan expedited.

    A small silent prayer would go a long way guys to get me through this mess.

    Thanks,

    Slim

    Slim, I wish you the very best brother!

    Father, You are the Great Healer and I am praying for healing, comfort, and freedom from pain for this special man! Please guide his medical team and allow them to successfully open up his blocked artery restoring blood flow and saving his vision. I pray that You hear and grant this prayer! Amen!

    Father, bless and heal Slim, and restore him to full function. Let his healing be a testimony to your power. Bless him and comfort all those who love him.

    Thanks everyone for the prayers, it's appreciated.

    I get my scans on Monday, Tuesday is pre-op, and Wednesday is surgery.

    I've got a great wife helping me get through all this, she knows the drill as she was also there for my neck surgeries in 2012.
