Would you care to join me in a little prayer for Jellies that have a loved one facing surgery today?

Asked by Adirondackwannabe (36713points) April 29th, 2013

I don’t care what faith you follow, just say a little prayer and send good wishes to anyone with loved one’s or their own health issues. Good luck J B

I can not pray, but I wish only the best for our Jellies and their loved ones. Big big e-Hugs and interwebs care baskets of pancakes and chamomile tea are headed your way.

I will happily send ice cream and ice chips for the young blond who’s having her tonsils and adenoids out.

(Who’s J B? Good luck to him or her also. And my friend Lizzie, who’s having nasty back surgery this week.)

Sending positive thoughts for a speedy recovery and many delicious bowls of healing ice cream (and anything else that makes the little one feel happy).

So hows everyone doing?

My daughter had major surgery yesterday. I prayed that the operation went well and that her recovery would be as gentle and swift as possible. I wish that for all of those you love having surgery in the coming days.

augustlan's avatar

@Dr_Lawrence Hope she’s doing well!

Dr_Lawrence's avatar

My daughter is home from the hospital and happy to be in her own bed. Her pain is well controlled and she is looking forward to a complete recovery. Thanks for your kind inquiries.

I hope that others whose loved ones have had or will soon have surgery will also do well.

@Dr_Lawrence, I just read in another thread that you are nearly bedridden following a vehicle collision. I hope and pray that you make a speedy recovery. It sounds like you are really having a trying time. You attitude is amazing though. I think that is a major part of any battle. Best wishes to you and your family.

Dutchess_III's avatar

…What @bkcunningham??? I’m glad to hear about your daughter but are you OK too @Dr_Lawrence?”

augustlan's avatar

Yikes, I hadn’t realized that, either. Hope you’re doing better soon, @Dr_Lawrence!

Dr_Lawrence's avatar

Yeah, I was rear-ended in a car crash last weekend when I rented a car to visit my wife. My back has been a mess since an earlier crash in 2004. I have not been doing much but resting in bed lately but fear not, I am feeding the dogs and making sure they get out. I’m going to phone in a food order for foods I can quickly heat up and some stuff I usually make for myself like bread and yogourt.
I’m seeing my doctor next week and we’ll see what if anything we can do to ease the pain in my back. Thanks for your concern. We’re all hanging in there.

Wow. Thanks for the prayers for us Blonds. I logged in to delete my account today and found a message about this thread. The support here brings tears to my eyes. I didn’t log in for a month after my mother’s ruptured brain aneurysm in March. I couldn’t handle the distraction of Fluther and I needed a clear mind to handle everything I was dealing with. I logged back in mid-April because I needed the support that Fluther provides. Unfortunately one jelly ruined the experience for me. It hurt because it came out of nowhere and I was completely caught off guard. It also hurt because I considered this person a friend at one time. I know, it’s just one person, but I can’t handle that type of poison in my life right now. I need to be far away from “advice” and opinions I didn’t even ask for. still not sure why this person decided to make things personal with me I’m an emotional mess (my mom isn’t doing well) and this isn’t the best place for me right now.

My little girl is in pain but she’s healing well. Thank you for the good thoughts and prayers.

@Dr_Lawrence I hope you and your daughter feel well soon.

Lurve you, blondie. NO LEAVING. <3

jonsblond's avatar

@augustlan I didn’t say what I did for attention or for everyone to ask me to stay. Like I said, I logged in to delete the account and no one would have known. It’s easier for me to stay away when I need to when I can’t access my account. This place is hard to stay away from! I said what I did because I hope some people will see how hurtful their words can be. There are real people behind the avatars and many of us are struggling for different reasons. The wrong words at that wrong time can be very damaging. You all showed concern for my family here and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to thank all of you. lurve you too!

Unbroken's avatar

@jonsblond you know what is best but please consider sticking around.

Breaks are acceptable if that is what you need and we understand that. But disappearing into the ether seems so final.

Not everything everybody says is worth saying. Or helpful, including what I say. But there is a ton of support on this network as well.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

@jonsblond Glad to hear it went well. We’ll think of your mom and your family too. The good things the internet lets us do, also allow some troll to hide behind a screen and send nasty messages I don’t know what the answer to that is.

bkcunningham's avatar

It is good to hear about your daughter, @jonsblond. Don’t burn your bridge to us, please. Take a break if you must, but keep the way open to come back and for us to message you comforting thoughts. This is a rough time in your life. That’s for sure. You are always in my thoughts. Much love coming your way. Be good to yourself. BK

Kardamom's avatar

There are some stinky people in the world, even on Fluther, but I think most of us are good folks and we like to take care of our group. If you need a break, that’s OK, but please leave the lines of communication open. We’re here for you, even if you don’t have the strength or desire to log on for awhile. You are always in the back of our minds, even if we don’t see you here every day. The one thing that we are, is a community. Maybe not a traditional community, but a community nonetheless. We have broad shoulders and we stay up late. Do not hesitate to use us, as you see fit. Be well, my friend, and blessings towards your family.
