Need prayers
Jun 30th, 2009 at 10:08am
 
Today from 10:30 to 12:30 am cst I am having outpatient back surgery to kill the nerve endings around 2 vertabrea.  This should keep my back pain free for 2 years at least.  The problem is this:  They have to do an MRI with contrast (iodine) to locate the vertabrea and inject needles to the right locations in my back.  I am really really allergic to Iodine.  The last MRI I had done in 87 took about 5 shots in my but to get me to breath.  My throught swelled shut and I felt like I was choking.  I am really scared about having this done.  The dr feels it is justified in trying to have it done.  They have given me benadryl, predisone, and zantac to take as histamines and stuff for allergies etc they are basically trying to prevent an allergy from occuring.  I just dont have much faith in it.  Ted is going along so he can drive me home.   Just pray I have outgrown this allergy and that nothing will happen and if something does happen it is a mild reaction.  Thanks guys I love you so much.

Looking forward to hearing the procedure was successful and you're free from pain in your back (along with no bad reactions to the iodine).

Thanks so much for your prayers.  They worked!!!  I had no reaction at all to the iodine contrast.  Praise God!  Right now I have no back pain at all which is wonderful.  I was told it will last for a couple of days and I have to keep an hourly pain log for two weeks.  This is to see if they numbed the right nerves.  If it is then they will go back in a sever them.  I thought they were going to sever them today so I was a bit disapointed after they told me this was only a diagnostic procedure.  That if it worked then they would do the severing.  So now I have to wait and see how it turns out.

Just saw the post and prayed, then found your second one.  It's a good thing the Scriptures say that before we call He hears us!

Praying about the second procedure too.
