Post Surgery Blues

He may be recovering faster than normal, but he is still normal.  Most bypass patients experience a form of post-surgery depression or "blues."  Dad is having his first experience with this phenomenon.  He said he was feeling blue and discouraged.

Please pray for the following:
  • His spirits lift and he is able to push through the "blues" despite the pain.
  • The persistent pain he is feeling in his lower abdomen caused by excess air infused during surgery passes quickly.
  • The headache he is having also goes away.
  • That Mom and I know exactly what to say, know when to push and when to not push, and to know how to encourage.


 Blogging for you!

    When my dad had this surgery several years ago...he too had the surgery blues.

    The good is: he knew prior to surgery it was a possibility.

    The better is: he has his family to walk with him through this.

    The Best is: he has Jesus Christ as his best friend that will see him through all of this.
