Health :(

Will pray

I’m so sorry to hear about your health condition, Merida. Wish I could give you a hug. I know how difficult and frustrating it must be for you. Be assured of my prayers for you. May you know the comforting presence of His Holy Spirit renewing you inwardly, as well as His sovereign power, which is able to touch your body and heal you according to His perfect will. Take good care of yourself. Hugs!

Lord please heal, bless and take care of Merida, in Jesus name, Amen!

Praying for you, sis. It's nice to meet you, Merida! Glad to see another Disney Princess fan here.
I have never had that before but I have had gallstones so I know what it's like to live with pain. I had to wait a year to have my gallbladder removed because I didn't have insurance to get my surgery done. That was like ten years ago.
I hope you can get your surgery soon. God bless you and your family.

Yes, indeed - I want the surgery, but am nervous about it too. I know it has to be done, but I've honestly not been put under for any surgery in my life - so I'm a bit freaked out about it. I know God will get me through it, and my family. I wish no one had to feel physical pain. Life is hard enough.

I've had a few surgeries. It's not as scary as you build it up to be in your mind. You get wheeled in and put to sleep, fast. Then you wake up. Haha.
The worst part is the final hours beforehand. And then being wheeled into the operating lobby and waiting. That's pure nerves on edge haha.

I'd just suggest seeing if there's any way to check for how you'll respond to the anesthesia.
I'm not sure how the surgery is done, but they do lots of laparoscopic surgeries, which are safer and have faster recovery times.
I just looked it up and it is indeed the most common type done on your condition. Those are easy. Just a few small holes.

I know what's wrong with me medically, but I'm waiting for surgery to correct it.

Does anyone else out there suffer from a haital hernia? If so, you'll know how bad it can get.

In the meantime, the symptoms are so much more than I can cope with some days. I'm trying to run a household and raise children. It's hard when I'm in constant pain an discomfort.

I pray to God that one day I can feel healthy again, and live my best life.

If you have a spare moment, please keep me in your prayers.

Thank you, friends.

I know the feeling of wishing away everyone's pain, including my own

Then my heart asks, is the pain I am experiencing more or less than the pain it would feel to be cruxified upon a cross with a crown of thorns waiting for death?

It's not much comfort but sometimes I feel that our pain can be part of our cross and our testimony. Despite the darkness of this world caused by sin (often not our own), God is beside us with His light, love and comfort.

May you be restored to health as soon as possible and may the LORD help you through the process.
