Please pray for strength as today has a two-fold request 1) the hospital confirms the time on Friday for surgery and 2) I have a successful clear fluid day.
I don't want any man made delays - God ordained ones are fine. If that is the case, then I would need discernment to know the next step.
The bowels need to be prepared for surgery so I need to take a laxative. This should be a moving experience.
Here are the times I will be taking medications.
8am I take my first Pico Salyx tablet with lots of fluids.
1pm I might need a gravol if I am nauseated.
2pm is my second Pico Salyx.
This is followed by plenty of clear liquids except red or purple colouring while building up calories, electrolytes and hydration.
I must avoid all milk products, cream soups, tomato or orange juice, oatmeal, solid foods, pulp juices.
I can have clear juice, decaffinated coffee or tea, broth, soda water but only until midnight.
Nothing, absolutely nothing after midnight. I will need His strength for sure today.
Some great prayer points from Philippians 4...
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
