5. I hope you do well! Many brain surgeries are very successful

and surprisingly not painful depending on the situation as there are no nerve endings in the skull.

What type of procedure is being done?

13. We just had a post by someone who was given dexamethasone after brain surgery. It drove her

Berserk, so find out if you'll be given that and be prepared. Best wishes for a successful surgery and recovery!

15. I'm scared, too.

I don’t live in fear, but the body is perpetually breaking down. If it’s any comfort, you have the support and prayers of many other scared people, too. You aren’t alone. 😄

20. My dear Orthodox sister in Christ.

I understand completely. I repeatedly tell the Lord, "I'm scared." For things that have happened and for all that may happen.

Ask for Holy Unction for the surgery and for healing. The Divine Physician will guide the doctor's hand and give expert assistance with all.

I believe for ultimates. With God all things are possible. Divine healing by our Divine Physician.

"All Merciful Savior, I ask for this sister to be healed. Through the prayers of Theotokos and all the Saints, Save Us!"

27. ❤️.

21. i'm sorry. i wish you didn't have to go through that.

it's perfectly understandable to be feeling scared. i certainly would be.

but we do what we need to.

you're loved. and we're all holding your hand.

[democrank]

22. You'll find strength you didn't know you had.

[Sloumeau]

23. I am sure it must be scary.

I am hoping all goes well for you. I hope that you are fixed up quickly.

24. My brother texted us that he's having brain surgery November 11.

He has a slow growing tumor affecting balance and hearing. He's told it will be a straight forward procedure where they cut out a chunk of his skull and put it back with a plate. Yikes!

Hope yours will be straight forward as well.

[Mersky]

25. That's really scary

If you need to talk about it more privately, feel free to send me a message. I had a scare with my pituitary some years ago. Hang in there, do whatcha gotta do, and there’s always someone listening at DU.

[dchill]

26. I've had two separate surgical procedures on my skull...

...and I'm still kicking. The last one was 24 years ago. I still remember some of it. I'm thinking you'll be all right. I know it's scary, but keep your chin up!

[Hekate]

28. Shenmue...

Of course you’re scared, as anyone would be. Know we are here for you.

[peacebuzzard]

29. Please let us know as soon as you can,

how everything goes. I wish you courage & well wishes for great success and a fast recovery and quick return to a road of health.
I will look forward to your posts.
I am marking this on my calendar, Shenmue.

30. Prayers, of course!

When I deployed to Iraq in 2008, without a weapon -- and at age 52 with no prior service -- and I felt afraid (which was often), I reminded myself that "perfect love casts out fear." That helped a lot.

Remember that you are loved.

[hlthe2b]

31. We will take your fear away... Just let our healing thoughts & best wishes occupy

your thoughts. We are with ya, shenmue.

[sinkingfeeling]

34. Man, that *is* scary.

I’d be really anxious, too.

Wish you all the best. Please let us know how you are doing.

This may not help, but my husband had emergency surgery for a brain bleed 6 1/2 years ago and he came through fine. It took a while to recover but suddenly, after around 6-7 weeks, he bounced back big time. Came home from rehab and decided to build a gazebo in the back yard!

Good luck.

35. My oldest son survived two surgeries on his brain.

He is 100% cured and 100% intact.

Keep the faith. Hugs!!!!!

[No Vested Interest]

36. God bless you, my dear Shenmue.

Know that all of DU supports you and is pulling for the best outcome and shortest road to recovery.

[live love laugh]

37. I wish you the very best possible experience. nt

[catharineg]

38. I had it a few years ago

I don't know what yours is for. Mine was for epilepsy.... plenty of testing went into it. I had time to emotionally prepare. A healthy diet during recovery is ideal

Good luck
