rmaynard 15,427 #1 Posted August 12, 2020 So I usually don't ask anyone for anything, but this group, like no other, has been a rock to so many people. It all started for me with a little boy named Maxx Nunn who had cancer and wanted to sell his Wheel Horse to be able to buy a 4-wheeler. RedSquare responded and helped him and his family until his sad passing at age 7. Then when my first grandson had to undergo open-heart surgery at age 9, you all came through for him with much love and well-wishes. He is doing fine now at age 16. When I had to have spinal fusion surgery back in 2015, again RedSquare supported me. Now, unfortunately, I am asking for my wife. Many of you who attend the Big Show refer to her as Mrs. M and are familiar with her chocolate-chip cookie bars. Well, Theresa (Mrs. M) is scheduled for spinal fusion surgery on August 24. She is in tremendous pain from a large benign arthritic cyst at the L4 level, as well as some other disk issues, and can barely move at times. The date of August 24 was booked back in June, as it was the first available date and time due to Covid-19 set-backs keeping hospitals from performing major surgeries. Two weeks ago, she went for cardiac clearance and the doctor said her tests were not normal, so she is scheduled for a cardiac catheterization this Friday. If nothing major is found, the 24th surgery can proceed, however if something else more serious is found, it could delay the back surgery for months. This would be horrific. So with this in mind, I am humbly asking that my fellow brothers and sisters here on RedSquare keep her in your thoughts and prayers. I will update this thread as warranted. Thank you! 2 25 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,274 #2 Posted August 12, 2020 Well mr. Bob I'm not religious and I don't pray but I've gathered up some positive karma and I'd like you to pass it along to the Mrs for me. Please do tell her that some weirdo up in the state of Maine said hello and that I hope she does well. Stay strong. Stay happy. If you get so's you want a half decent cup of coffee, come on up to Maine and I'll boil some up for you. I can't offer you much else because I'm about the same amount fine cook as I am supermodel. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I't's truly amazing the stuff they can do. , My wife was on her feet the very next day after back surgery, a girl friend paralyzed in an automobile accident spent years in a chair then with new techniques developed over the years. Did surgery on her again, she now is free of the chair, amazing what the specialists are able to do these days. During the time Christiane was bound to her chair she did not waste her time, she studied to become a notary republic and authored several children's books, she has since moved back to Dawson City. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/whitehorse-woman-files-human-rights-complaint-over-handy-bus-service-1.801871 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 55,075 #24 Posted August 13, 2020 Dear Lord, Theresa Maynard will be undergoing delicate heart surgery soon. Please guide the surgeon's hands to be steady and effective to do the task at hand, and not create any further damage We pray against any infection or complications. Calm the heart of her husband Bob and their family. Give Theresa your peace so her body can heal under the best conditions. In the name of Jesus, bless her to be healthier after this procedure than before. Lord allow this temporary trial to bring this family closer to you and each other. When she is coming out of surgery, let the side effects be minimal. Work a miracle in this whole situation and bless it from beginning to end. Thank you Lord for your blessing on this family. We praise you as we know we are in good hands- the very hands of God. In Jesus name, we thank you for each day. Amen. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
