Thank you my dear friends. I'm nervous a bit about this one as there is so much scar tissue in my back, having had it opened five times now .. Will it heal slower ?

Heart Healing IS
Healing just IS. Your body already has shown you how you will heal and over what period of time. If some of the procedure is the removal of scar tissue, you will find pain associated with it; however, as one who also creates scar tissue at break neck speed [you know? In view of my recent cervical fusion, that saying takes on a new meaning.] I personally know removal of scar tissue doesn't produce much in the way of discomfort discernible from the surgical intervention itself.

Prayin,

Heart Keep the Faith!
Hello dear Karen!

Just wanted to add my prayers as well for this upcoming procedure. We will all unite our Faith and keep it strong for this to be the final surgery you will need, and that your new unit will become your new best friend!
I believe this for you!

Rae

Thank you, one and all. I am so excited.

I know that this time I will have to be careful after the op .. I was far too impatient to not bed, twist, reach and was out on the mobility scooter within a week of getting home and I think this rubbed the scar area on my back which led to infection getting in ... Although the surgeon says it was on the metal of the leads around my side so.. Who knows.

I'll be lazy and read lots this time ...

Along with our prayers, that is,

I like your prayers .. And I will always remember the man I met on holiday whilst I was lounging I'm the sea. We got chatting and he asked about my scars .. When I explained I was having another operation this year he asked my name and then said he was a vicar and could he please pray for me. I cried a bit, but said yes ... Please.
