Post Surgery Report
Tuesday, December 3, 2019 by Leona Choy

Through professional surgical skill and the faithful prayer support of my friends and family and the will of God, my major abdominal surgery was successful on Nov 25 in INOVA's 5 star Women's Hospital in Fairfax, VA. The non-malignant UFOs (Unwanted Fibrous Offenders) were bid farewell by my surgeon. Now the rest of my healthy crowded organs are struggling to reclaim the empty space and trying to regroup to their rightful position.

The bottom line first: Because of the nature of the mass to be removed and my advanced age, I was told to expect intense, prolonged pain which could be alleviated only by strong narcotic drugs. SURPRISE BLESSING! Doctors and medical personal find it unbelievable that I've felt NO PAIN or discomfort whatsoever after surgery even to the present moment! Truly, I have felt no pain.

For those who asked, I didn't receive a little “bikini”slice but a top to bottom incision with staples that look like a giant zipper. Only Tylenol was required. But it was not my doing, courage, or credit. I recognize it as a special touch from God in answer to the prayers of my friends and family who upheld me faithfully and fervently throughout this trauma to my “earth suit” body.

Understandably, I am weak and common tasks will still be a challenge—like getting in and out of bed, caring for my hygiene, dressing, showering, food prep. Six weeks is projected for my healing time during which I am not supposed to bend or exert myself but take it easy.

However, after surgery I was quite blindsided by the onset of a previously-unknown heart problem. My fleshly heart went kinda crazy setting off alarms. My blood pressure escalated off the charts to levels I've never experienced, and my pulse raced and flipped into A-Fib (Arterial Fibrillation). Multiple meds were administered to try to control my vital signs occurring about midnight while I remained totally at “Peace that passes understanding from God who kept my heart and mind” steady through all the frantic action around me. For awhile I thought it might be time to wrap up my earth job and leave for heaven. I would have been content that my Kingdom tasks were complete in God's sight. I asked those in charge whether it might be time to call my family.

But God must have brought me through this as a dry run. I was in His hands in complete trust. It seems that He still has more spiritual fruit for me to joyfully bear for Him, more good to be done for others, more encouragement and love to bless people with. With the apostle Paul then I declare, “It is more needful for y'all for me to remain awhile yet.” I'm under a top cardiologist's watchful care working at getting the right balance of my powerful new, ongoing meds.

My family is so lovingly solicitous for my every need. Please continue to support me by your prayers. I'm able to receive all your emails and communications. My cell phone is 540-398-6611. I heartily welcome short visits. I'm becoming accustomed to getting around with a walker and trying to become independent again. At the same time, I recognize that God is transitioning me to a more realistic lifestyle and work style as a nonagenarian—chill a bit more—while I continue to carry out His irrevocable calling on my life.

I miss my blogging connections with you but stay tuned...I anticipate resuming down the line to share the life lessons I have been learning.

My offer still holds for a free copy of my book HOSPITAL GOWNS DON'T HAVE POCKETS. Just email your address [email protected]. The doctors and nurses and techs quickly depleted the copies I brought to the hospital, but your copy is still waiting for you. Gradually your orders are being filled with the help of friends. I have been reliving the events of that first earlier surgery after which I wrote the book to help others who are going through any physical traumas.

Since this website doesn't reach everyone who is asking about my welfare, please share the news herein.

Cathy, God is exceeding the good stuff healthwise that I am experiencing as a result of the major surgery which was thought not to be possible at my age. I pause to pray for you personally that you will have clarity to follow through a decision pending in your life this new year.I thank God that He has put you into my life. Always missing Mom too.

yvonne From California At 12/5/2019 12:01:22 PM

Dear Aunty Leona, Wonderful news you share has really enlightened my concern. You show us how a major procedure is orchestrated by our Savior. What a miracle! Please keep those words with the Holy Spirit defeating Satan, the fallen angel, in plain sight. Luv and prayers, Vonnie

Reply by: Leona Choy

Thank you for your prayers and encouragement dear Vonnie. God is doing way more than even imagined for my health as a result of surgery.I pause to pray for you especially for your friends where you are living that they may be an encouragement to you and you to them.That you might have one good new friend among them in this new year. I love you.

Phyllis Sauder From Lancaster, PA At 12/4/2019 10:39:44 PM

Thank you for the report. I am a retired nurse, so I understand all that took place! I would love to have a copy of your book. I am Betty Miller's daughter. Phyllis Sauder 500 Northside Ct. Apt# 514 Lititz, PA 17543

Reply by: Leona Choy

I hope you received my book, Phyllis.God is giving me way beyond blessing as the result of this major surgery which it was thought I was too old for. If you go online for Meigs Syndrome You will see why the outcome has been so spectacular. I often ask your Mom's prayers for me even after she has gone to heaven.She is still interceding for us all.

Kathleen McLaughlin From King George VA At 12/4/2019 5:40:02 PM

Leona, glad our surgeries are complete and we are still in the Lord’s plans here. My surgery turned into 2 surgeries a week apart and have morphed now into a chest cold...but I am enjoying recovery by reading your wonderful book that you sent me! Thank you so much! Will try to call next week when m

Reply by: Leona Choy

Kathleen, I pause to pray for the Lord to complete the healing that he has begun with your surgeries and give you patience to negotiate the struggles of recovery. Keep Psalm 16:7-9 uppermost 24/7. His "Intensive Care" is Comprehensive Coverage for your mind,soul,emotions and your body. Live the promises of those verses and "be glad and rejoice"

Jo Ciaramitaro From Michigan At 12/4/2019 3:17:56 PM

Leona, I am so blessed to hear your amazing report! And the fact that you wrote it yourself is even better. The whole no pain issue is truly awesome! God is so good! I am always in awe, but never surprised at the things He does. Obviously, He's not finished with you yet. Continued prayers for you.

Reply by: Leona Choy

Im thankful for your prayers.Two months after surgery the results are way beyond the good that the surgeon said would follow. Now please pray that as I resume His calling on my life, I will learn to do so by walking instead of running, and the spiritual fruit will be just as sweet when it reaches Him.What can I pray especially for you, Jo?

Joseph Sabounji From Toronto, Canada At 12/4/2019 12:26:57 PM

I am just amazed to read about the miraculous work of God on your body, spirit, and mind. How alert & clear mind you have been through this big and serious surgery. I see and believe that the Holy Spirit has been at work in you and through you. You are already the miracle lady touched by lmighty H

Reply by: Leona Choy

I thank God that He put you into my life, though we have never met in person.You have been my encourager. What may I pray for you personally, Joseph? I do remember your people under persecution that they might be faithful and also protected from the enemy of their souls.

Cynthia Han From IA At 12/4/2019 11:03:34 AM

So glad to see your post today! Thanking God for the miracle that you don't have much pain! Looking forward to hearing more of God's wonderful work in your life. You are such an encouragement to us! Much love, Cynthia

Reply by: Leona Choy

Cynthia, thank God He has bonded us in Christ over the miles and given me the privilege of praying for your family. Watch for the Lord to do something surprising and special this year as you remain faithful to what you know to be the will of God. Thank God in advance for working quietly behind the scenes

Nancy Craig From VA At 12/4/2019 10:37:38 AM

Such wonderful news....Glad it is not time to depart. We love you and want to see you in person as you can allow.

Reply by: Leona Choy

I'll look forward to a visit from you, Nancy. What may I pray for you personally especially?

Clarice Orr From Nebraska At 12/4/2019 9:55:25 AM

Oh, Dear Leona! You continue to nurture all of us with your unbounded faith. Your details of your UFOs, "zipper", and late night cardiologist run tell us that we all remain in God's Hands all the time everywhere. Thank you for this reminder! You were in my home shortly aftLove and Peace--Claric

Reply by: Leona Choy

Clarice, fond memories of my visits to Nebraska. The results of the surgery that I wasn't even qualified for have been way beyond expectation--all good, and I experience Eagle renewal. Pray that I may now learn to walk/work for the Lord in steady pace with Him and produce spiritual fruit pleasing to Him. What may I pray for you?

Thérèse Bruggs From Lowell, OR At 12/4/2019 9:18:28 AM

PRAISE GOD!?????? We continue to hold you up to Our God & His Holy Mother! May they keep you safe while Heavenly Angels and Earthly ones as well administer to your needs! Continue to ask God to allow you to offer these days if healing towards your and His most prime intentions! We will do the same!??

Reply by: Leona Choy

Thank you for your prayers. What may I pray for you, Therese, that is on your heart in a personal way as this year begins? I thank God He has put you into my life for whatever His purposes.

Nancy Hoag From Bozeman, Montana At 12/4/2019 9:13:27 AM

I am blessed this morning with amazement as I read your email, Dear Leona. Bless you for reminding each of us that no matter how large the problems seem to be, our Loving Heavenly Watchful Father is with us! Our times are TRULY in His hands! Love to you, Nancy~

Reply by: Leona Choy

Let me know what I can pray for you that is uppermost on your heart this new year.

Nancy Supples From Front Royal At 12/4/2019 8:50:51 AM

Truly a miracle that you felt no pain after such a surgery! Thanks be to God that you are on the path to recovery! I will continue to offer my poor prayers in your behalf. God bless you (He has!!!).

Reply by: Leona Choy

Nancy, the Lord sees your faithfulness and is pleased to bless you and your family with some unexpected blessing early this year. Look for His token of pleasure and thank Him in advance.

Louise Looney From Conroe, TX At 12/4/2019 8:48:51 AM

AMAZING. God certainly is at work in you. Doctors were also amazed when my husband was dying with cancer and no pain. Staff flowed in his room to see him and hear his attitude. May you have lessings and supernatural love and protections from the Lord!

Reply by: Leona Choy

God's blessing in my life is over the top since "the surgery that wasn't possible" and I'm discharged by my doctors with smiles. It is never too late, one is never too old to climb new mountains when He points the way. That is your experience. Look for it to continue in this new year.

Carol Hopfensperger From Denver At 12/4/2019 8:24:28 AM

Cousin Leona, It is with a happy ?? heart that I read your wonderful message this morning. I am thrilled with the fact that your pain level is not as bad as expected. Your faith is so inspiring and our God is so good. I can’t wait to see what He has planned for you. In His Love, Cousin Carol

Reply by: Leona Choy

A verse for you, Carol, for this year, is Psalm 16:7-9 and it will cover all that the Lord has planned behind the scene for you. Watch for some God-surprises that will make you "glad and rejoice."

Marlene Bagnull From PA At 12/4/2019 7:18:03 AM

Thank You, Father, for Your healing power, Your peace that passes understanding, and for the precious gift of Leona.

Reply by: Leona Choy

I'm praying for just the right touch of Eagle Rejuvenation for you as this year begins and you face the challenge to two conferences that will surpass even those in past years because of the state our county is in. Christian writers will need strong encouragement as days grow darker on the political front and for our freedoms becoming limited.

Cathy From Fincastle At 12/4/2019 4:25:21 AM

Dear Leona ~ As always, it's a blessing to read your account of the "happenings" in your life ... because of your ongoing trust in the Lord, it matters not whether they be good or bad in the eyes of the world :) Thank you for your heavenly perspective! And may God's healing touch continue.

Reply by: Leona Choy

Yes, Psalm 13:6 "I will sing to the Lord for He has dealt bountifully with me" The results of "the surgery I wasn't eligible for" have exceeded expectations. Pray that I may be faithful to go forward continuing my calling at the pace that will please Him. What may I pray for you as this year begin?

James Huang From Hong Kong At 12/4/2019 4:15:43 AM

Your are always in our prayers and in our hearts! Our respected and beloved Auntie Leona. God bless you and your whole Family! Wei-Ji & Ling-Ling in HK

Reply by: Leona Choy

Dear Wei-ji and Ling-Ling, I thank God that He has bonded our hearts and souls together long ago and even to the present. "The Lord has dealt bountifully with me" and with you too, I know.So let us keeping "singing unto the Lord." Psalm 13:6. What may I pray for you as you begin this new year?
