My husband's Prostatectomy is this morning.

He's sleeping now. I have trouble sleeping on most normal nights. I doubt I'll sleep tonight. I can barely breath with the anxiety.

We're not religious. And I'm honestly not convinced that thoughts or prayers have any effect on others, but my husband was comforted to hear that my sister was lighting candles for him in church. So, I posted a request in GD for positive vibes to be sent our way. https://www.democraticunderground.com/100215463041

3. May you and he receive the peace that passes understanding before his surgery.

May the surgeon's hand and all OR and recovery staff be Divinely Guided throughout.

May his surgery be successful and remedy the need for it. Speedy and complete healing!

11. I will be thinking about you both.

I have said many times that I received "thoughts and prayers" when I had cancer. They did not cure me. Science, education and skill did that. But there was comfort in knowing people cared.

13. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Exactly!

I'm sorry your were sick and very happy science, education, and skill were there to cure you. And caring people to comfort you.

... prayers work. I'll be thinking of you both today. Have faith.
