It's the Final Countdown!

This topic is about someone who is preparing for their ostomy reversal surgery and is reaching out for prayers and support from their community. They are feeling anxious as the surgery date approaches and are looking for comfort and encouragement. Here are some key points and advice shared by others:

- The person is counting down the hours to their surgery, feeling a mix of anxiety and hope. They are asking for prayers for themselves, their medical team, and their family.

- As the surgery date gets closer, they reflect on their journey, feeling grateful for the support they've received and the chance to move forward.

- Community members offer their prayers and spiritual support, suggesting that the person think of each supportive friend when feeling scared to help feel less alone.

- Encouragement is given to trust in the skills of the surgical team and to have faith in a positive outcome.

- Humor is recommended as a way to cope with stress. One suggestion is to name the first postoperative gas release after a supportive friend, adding a light-hearted touch to the recovery process.
