I want to thank all of you for your prayers for my safety and the success of this surgery.
I am here to tell you today that the surgery went exceedingly well, and that my recovery in the post op room went extremely rapidly. The nurses were saying how amazed they were at how rapidly my pain was under control, with minimal drugs and how quickly I became alert with no side effects.
Most exciting however, is that even though I have been on chronic pain medication for several years, and have always still been in pain despite the medications, I am in basically no pain at this time. I am uncertain if this will last or not, but I feel much different than before the surgery.
Almost as if I have more energy and something has just changed inside me.
They do the expansion of the bladder and it is for diagnosis but some people have the added benefit of increased capacity as well as reduced or eliminated pain for months at a time, at which time they do another procedure. It appears that I may be one of these fortunate people.
I'd like to praise the Lord for His faithfulness to us His children, and to thank you all for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers. I appreciate you so much.
God bless you all,
Sister Esther
