The bad news is that during the surgery, 5% of my tongue had to be removed and I am in a ridiculous amount of pain. I am having trouble even swallowing my own saliva while on pain medicine, and I certainly can't talk. So please pray for quick healing for me, but also thank God aloud and sing praises to his name on my behalf. ;)
I am hoping that they took the 5% that does the complaining and arguing, but for somehow I don't think that can be surgically removed. Please pray for me to have a thankful, joyful heart as I persevere through the pain. And pray that God would be glorified through each step of my recovery.
Thank you all for your prayers! Please continue to lift my family in prayer as we are apart. Praise The Lord! Let everything that has breath, praise The Lord!
Praying for your healing and relief from the pain, but praising God that no cancer was found, Lisa! I hope the pain meds help!
