Please send me good vibes on Wednesday

Well, I guess since I don't know anyone here well enough yet who'll request prayers on my behalf, I'll just have to ask for them myself!

Tomorrow, around 1pm MST, I will be undergoing a second chemoembolization of the year. I had the first one in March, on St. Patty's day to be exact. I'll be staying at least one night in the hospital, depending on how my pain is managed.

It's a quick and relatively simple procedure but it turned out to be excruciating last time. After the procedure itself, I need to lie flat in post-op for 4-5 hours in order to prevent internal bleeding. This time, though, I've taken many more precautions to make it a better experience. First of all, I'm getting a urinary catheter to make my 5 hours in recovery more bearable! Also, I'll be staying on the oncology floor instead of the general hospital floor. And we all should know by now, oncology patients get better care than the regular few! I'm taking a bucket full of candy for the nurses in order to lure them through my room so that I'm not forgotten. Nurses love candy! Finally, a dear friend of mine who is a retired occupational therapy nurse has come to town (from Virginia, I'm in CO) to care for me during the next two weeks of recovery.

Anyway, this time around, it should go much more smoothly. My husband will be staying the night with me in the hospital and parents will be visiting throughout the day.

We are strong believers in positive thinking, creative visualization, that sort of thing. So if you have a moment and some energy to spare, please send me some healing energies tomorrow and the days to follow. I can use all the support I can get! Hopefully this procedure will shrink the tumor on my liver just enough to do surgery and remove it!

Thanks,
Garnet

I have a PET Scan at 7am tomorrow that I am not looking forward to either. I'll be praying for the best outcome for you. You are so fortunate to have so much support.

I am so sorry that you are going in again and this half-elven is standing lighting a special candle with your name inscribed on it. It will remain lit as long as needed. You have the prayers of rivendell and may all the light and grace bestowed on me just flow to you love. You are not alone. I'm sorry that you feel no one would intervene for you. We just didn't know...otherwise someone would have shouted it out. No one is any more special than the others.

We love you and are here for you. Pls. update us as soon as you feel able to or have someone else do it for you. We need to know how you are doing...and want to know...

And if you have some of your garnets to hold, it can't hurt to take them with you for after..perhaps you know this, but thought I'd share your namesake's properties with you in regards to what you are facing.

Healing properties of Garnet
Garnet comes in many colors, but now we will speak only about red Garnet. The Garnet is associated with the thyroid, spleen, all vital organs and the spirit heart. It helps cleanse and purify both when held over the area. The Garnet is usually held in the hand or placed on top of the head when searching or meditating on past lives. Information that is beneficial and helpful will usually be released for the searcher for those who believe in this manner of things. It is also used to seek peace and knowledge of the future events. A worry stone to be rubbed in the finger and hands, it will grow more smooth, said to symbolize the paths of life smoothing out before you...

The Garnet is a stone of purity and truth as well as a symbol of love and compassion. The information released in a search may be painful, but it will always be what the searcher needs. The Garnet will help everyone's security level and spiritual awareness.

May Creator watch over you and your loved ones. May the hands of all hospital workers, doctors and nurses just be totally loving and all of their expertise be multiplied to manifest healing in your body. May peace and understanding just be so large that all fear and trepidation leave. Peace over your household that it will function even better and in love while you are in hospital and home for recovery...including any furries and children.

Much love and healing vibes my friend. Come visit and let me know how you are or if you have special needs for prayer, etc. Rivendell's healing house is always open...blessed be *~* Bren; ▶ Reply to This

Garnet has been one of my most favorites for a long time, too! My birthstone is amethyst but my vibrations are more attuned to garnets. I actually live on Garnet street, too! :)

Thank you again!; ▶ Reply to This
