Prayer for medical procedure

So, I'm still jumping through hoop after extra hoop to try and donate a kidney to my dad. The latest is that because I had mentioned a clotting disorder my sister has that CAN be genetic, I was referred to a hematologist and because my blood cell counts are "out of range" they now say I have to get a bone marrow biopsy done before I can continue with the donation process. That would be fine if it weren't for the fact that they refuse to give anything but local anaesthetic and unfortunately for me, local does absolutely zilch. There is no numbness whatsoever. I made the mistake of youtubing the procedure...and reading article after article where people have basically said it's one of the most painful things they've ever experienced...this is WITH freezing that works. I've been having severe anxiety ever since (picture me hyperventilating and crying for 2 hours in the back room at work while my poor co-worker had to keep on trucking out front with no idea what the heck was going on). I finally got ahold of and convinced the hematologist to at least prescribe some ativan and T3, since apparently that's the best I can hope for (concious sedation is done sometimes for this procedure....but for some reason everyone III talk to just keeps passing the buck and saying THEY can't arrange for anything other than local). Unfortunately, after a test run of that yesterday (twice the prescribed amount) I am now aware that apparently oral medications don't affect me at all either. Everyone and their dog has been telling me that even 1 T3 or 1 ativan makes them sleepy/dopey/less aware. I guess I'm just unlucky.

Anyway, I get to spend 15 minutes having someone cut a hole in me just to fit in a giant needle that they are then going to drill into my bone and suck out the insides. And then crunch off a chunk of the bone to haul out....all without the benefit of any pain management whatsoever. Prayer would be appreciated, because at this point I guess that's all I get.

You have my prayer support Meggars, You can do it with God's help! =)

Oh my goodness Meggars, that sounds so daunting. I will be praying for you... I will pray for a miracle Please keep us updated.

Great God, give Meggars peace in the face of this fear of pain. Nobody understands a child's love for a father more than You do Lord. Bless her dad through her sacrifice. Comfort Meggars.

May all those thoughts be heard before you Almighty ONE... Take control of everything, for the best.

Hugs meggers, I will be praying for you in Jesus for the pain to be lifted.

I have had to have several procedures that were very painful, each time I suddered at the propect of facing it again.
Then it was put on me to praise God in Jesus during the procedure, I was amazed, the pain was barely there, and then none.
Give it a try, for praise is always welcomed in Jesus By God our Father.
Ill be praying.

God bless

Lord Jesus, i pray that you give your presence to meggar always, and bless the father and daughter, with your peace, comfort, healing, and Love, Amen

well, worst time of my life....and they had to re do it 3 times on 3 different spots because they couldn't get the samples they needed. So 15 minutes of digging around unfrozen me turned into an hour and a half of digging around in unfrozen me. wouldn't wish it on hitler himself.

That sounds intense Meggars! And.. you did it, despite it being so difficult! You Rock!!!

no dude. I don't. I made a spectacle of myself and am completely humiliated. The pastor's wife insisted on driving me and I am so mortified that ANYbody I knew witnessed the retardedness of this whole event, let alone someone I have to see at church all the time that I'm actually pretty sure I can't even go this sunday. I am so beyond embarrassed that I didn't even sleep last night because I couldn't stop thinking about it.

Meggars, I will pray for you and your father, as an ex EMT I understand your medical case, just trust in God as he may have other plans bdsides you donating. God bless you
