I am having major surgery tomorrow to repair several different parts of my right foot .

Big problem is that I have a blood disease so that the doctor's cannot coagulate my blood during surgery.

Platelets will be incerted into my blood stream just before the surgery.

I will be out of commision for several months.

Just thought you might like to know.

Gayle,

My prayers are with you and hope all goes well. I have A+ blood type. Do you need blood donors? I would be glad to help out. If there is anything I can do to help please let me know. Take care.

Hi Dave,

 

Please thank everyone for their prayers in my behalf.

 

The surgery went well.

 

I have a blood platelet disorder causing my blood not to coagulate during surgery.

 

Once platelets are entered into my bloodstream, the blood will coaguale.

 

I have had many surgeries during my life and during two separate surgeries, I almost lost my life due to this condition.

 

The doctor told my brother, Victor, that I hardly bled at all.

 

Now I have to heal.

 

I am in a lot of pain and my foot is swollen right now so I take very strong medicine.

 

Once again, please thank all who prayed for me.

 

Prayers are very important.

 

Have a great day.

 

Gayle
