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 :) )

Thank you all! (except for that one leftist jerk :) ) Surgery went well; I even woke up in the recovery room without ANY numbness in legs (they did spinal pain block and that often results in residual numbness, or even complete dead feel, in legs). Other than a bout of nausea when about to leave hospital, no significant negative aspects! Perhaps the best thing so far is that I am trying JUST Tylenol for pain management, and it is working! (but that might change by tomorrow :) ). Once again, this website proves it has the greatest people on the internet! I hope this note gets seen by everyone who posted because it would take quite a while to respond to everyone individually :)
