I would appreciate any and all prayers for safety and care. I'm having a total hip replacement, and although it's almost considered routine, it does involve cutting parts of your body out and replacing them with hunks of metal and plastic :) Problems associated with this surgery are considered rare; I just don't want to be one of those rare cases :) I've asked for prayers in the past for others, and greatly appreciated those, now I'm going to be a little selfish and ask for prayers for myself :) I'll hopefully be able to provide a report tomorrow late afternoon when I'm back in the hotel room next to the hospital. (as long as the pain medication doesn't take away my ability to type :) )
