Robyne <rhinks@eisa.net.au>, a member of the International Adhesions
Society, is in need of your prayers and get well wishes! Robyne is from
Australia. She will be undergoing a very difficult surgical procedure on
Friday (see her letter below). Please keep Robyne in your prayers; and do
what you can to brighten the difficult days which lie ahead for her! Best
wishes for a successful surgery, Robyne!
I received the following letter from Karla <ifirgit@webcntrl.com> - in which
she asked me to post a message requesting your prayers for her friend,
Robyne. Karla does not seem to realize that she has expressed this request
so much better than I can; because Karla's request comes from deep within
her soul. Karla knows - from personal experience - what lies ahead for
Robyne.
Helen,
Below is a letter from Robyne in Australia and my response. She will be
going through a very difficult procedure herself. They will be putting in a
temporary ileostomy to see if it will help relieve her pain. If it does it
may become permanent. I wonder if you could offer prayers for Robyne and
ask that others send her good cheer. I am sure this is a very difficult
time for her and know that she thrives on her messages from this group. I
finally got her back on the list....so she now gets all the messages.
Thanks,
Love,
Karla

Robyne,
I pray that everything goes well for you. It will be a very difficult
procedure for you as well, I am sure. I would imagine it will take a
minimum of about 10 hours....mine took 15....and they anticipate this next
one being at least 10. They will be repairing my hernia, revising my
urinary system and taking the muscles from the back and putting them into my
stomach. May I ask how many surgeries you have had to repair hernias?
Once again may God Bless you and be with you throughout your recovery.
Please know that my thoughts and prayers will be with you.
Love Karla

Dear Karla
Thanks for your help I am now receiving mail again. They postponed my
surgery from Tuesday until tomorrow, Friday, because he wanted to spend more
time with me as he has to cut me from sternum to pubic bone because of the
mesh he put there to hold my hernia - also to get at all adhesions and put
the ileostomy and a gastric tube in. He said I would wake up in intensive
care as the op will take a few hours. I am really scared because I have
already been on life support three times before and I am hoping that it will
not be necessary this time. I would like to wish you all the best for your
op in July; and please let me know how you get on. Love Robyne
