My Silly Thoughts

Weeks before my surgery, I was really afraid. I overcome my fear, though as friends advises and prayers gave me the strength. I prayed a lot but still as the day comes nearer silly thoughts hunted me. I thought of talking to my children friends and leave their fate to them. Am teary eyed watching everything at home, including the pc, oh I sighed, "my online friends, my blogs, and everything". I was thinking of the coming christmas and I felt sad I may not be able to see, the happiest occasion am always excited about. When the day came, I hugged my eldest daughter who would be left at home as she could not come with me at the hospital as she just gave birth to my first grandson, I kissed my two grandchildren crying as if I could no longer come home again. My children were also crying but they told me "God is good", everything will be alright. We pass by the Baclaran Church, prayed the novena to Our Mother of Perpetual Help, My daughter's co teacher kissed me and said they're praying for me, I cried again. When I was brought to the operating room, I no longer cried, I just prayed hard and recited the Psalm-91, while there, I was expecting a shadow or faces of my dead loved ones, my mom and dad, my husband and my sister as they said if you'll going to die they will visit you, but instead I whispered, "no don't wish for me to be with you yet", my children and grandchildren still need me. I continued praying, reciting two words "Allelujah Jesus" repeatedly until surgery done. When I was returned to my bed, my children and brothers were in all smiles, I smiled too and whisper, "those silly thoughts". God is really Good. I laugh every time I remember those silly thoughts. Do you have similar experience? Please share.

Oh bing! Those aren't silly thoughts at all! It's very real and it was for you that day as it is for anybody facing such scary things such as surgery. The doctors tell you first hand that anything could go wrong. When I had my hysterectomy, the doctor was told beforehand that my insides were a mess due to endometriosis but he didn't realize what we were trying to tell him until surgery day. He ended up spending much more time with me than he first thought he would have to and even had to call in a specialist to deal with my colon because it was twisted and tangled and everything was attached to each other, my uterus, ovaries, colon and everything else. It was a mess for sure but I'm here and living to tell all about it but even though I had been through a number of surgeries before, I was still scared silly because I knew that anything can go wrong but like your situation, God was good to me too and let me live.

Right cats, no matter how strong maybe our faith it's inevitable for us not to have these thoughts as we know anything can happen. It's only a kiddie gesture for me to realize that those are silly thoughts after surgery was done successfully. I admire you though for being so brave facing all those series of surgeries am glad as well you got over those and this is all because God has been good to us and He'll always be. Thanks for the response, dear friend. Have a good day.
