So I've been in and out of both the doctors office and hospital because of abdominal pain that will not go away. Test results show my white blood cell count is high and an abnormality on my appendix.....three weeks later I'm still in pain and i have an ultrasound tomorrow to look at my gallbladder to see if I could be having problems with that. I know if I have this removed the pain will go away, but I don't have time for recovery let alone take the time off work, but I also don't do well being under anesthesia and I'm terrified, please help encourage me as I look into this as a possibility as I want to resolve so many things before as anything may happen

May the immeasurable grace of the Most High go to work immediately to calm the storm of emotions and fear in your heart and mind. May this same grace work supernaturally in every cell of your body and HEAL YOU IMMEDIATELY of this affliction in the unmatched name of Jesus Christ!

I am continuing in prayer for you sister.

Praying for you Renewed. Surgery isn't fun, I've had a few, however the pain may only progress and other issues may arise and make it a lot worse. Take the time to make yourself well again. It's scary yes but God is with you and so are we.

I've had out both the appendix and gall bladder, and never missed them. And the surgery is to do with soft tissue, so not that hard to recover from.

My dad said he played a full court game of basketball 9 days after getting his appendix out. And he was a professional athlete, and he would have gone full out.

Anyway, I pray you will find out the cause, and don't fear surgery.

I didn't understand the part where they are going to do an ultrasound on your gall bladder to see if anything is wrong, and then you say that if you have it removed, the pain will go away. How do you know that? You still don't know what is wrong with you, do you? I wouldn't let them remove my gall bladder till they find out if anything is wrong with it.

Perhaps you are over-stressed and this is causing your abdominal pain, or maybe it's your diet.

You don't have time to take care of your health? Take time now or risk something worse later on which will take more time and may even be harder to deal with. Few people have time to deal with surgery and recovery but it's something you Need to take time for.
Take it from someone who did not take the time to deal with his health issues, it's a little time now or all the time later.

I believe the gall bladder is removed through a very small incision, and they use a scope or whatever. You won't be recovering long with it at all. Not sure about the appendix surgery

Okay got a phone call from the doctor and so far I don't need surgery, thank goodness and it has nothing to do with my diet or stress levels as I have created outlets the last few months to help ease that....the next thing on the doctors checklist is whether this is female related which I don't believe it is and I have that appointment coming up....

Ugly, I do appreciate and agree that if I don't take care of myself now I will pay the consequences later on and I am in the process of that.....however my job is very demanding and a vital part of the company and no one knows how to do my position.....for example I took a half of a day off this week and it took me two days to get caught up on everything and worked 12 hour days in order to pull it off. I can manage anything that is set before me and I'm grateful I am not having surgery. I have my good days and not so good ones but either way I'm blessed.....


Thanks again for everything:)

Dear Heart,

put your Trust in Jesus and all else will take care of itself, whether you understand it or not -
once you commit and totally surrender to Christ, the 'world and its ways should not even be
a factor in the beginning of your new-life, you must totaling putting your Trust in Him -
it's all about learning to TRUST in your Saviour, submitting and Honoring His choices for you..

is it an easy path without doubt and the need to learn to overcome? NO WAY, but He makes
a brand new way, IF our hearts are true and IF we use the FAITH that He blessed us with...
