Need Prayers

[BikerDoc]

I lost my left eye in an auto accident when I was only 16 years old.. The other eye has seen me through nicely for nearly another 50 years, HOWEVER, now I am told that the cloudiness that I am experiencing will result in complete blindness within a year (that would really put a cramp in my planned 25k Spyder Rydes for next year).. On March 1st I am having a lens transplant into my single working eye.. If it is successful I will most like see better than ever. If it is not successful I will most likely be blind...... Any of you, and especially any of you who have behaved better than me, who would be willing to say a prayer for my successful surgery - I would be eternally greatful!!!!!!!!!!! thanks... Needless to say I am scared.. I thought I had a lot of riding to look forward to.......... ride safe..........

Praying that God's merciful grace works a miricle with your vision and gives you calm knowing he is with you.

[CyncySpyder]

:pray: thanks for sharing & know that you are not alone. The Spyder World would not be the same without Bikerdoc on the road. You offer so much to all of us. Keep the faith & a positive attitude & we shall lift you up in our prayers as well. Let us know how things progress after you have your surgery.

Tho, since you might not be able to see for a little while afterwards, you may have to ask someone else to do the typing :helpsmilie:

Good luck & :pray: are sent your way every night :thumbup:

Even though I'm certain you will be able to see better than ever, I will remember you in my prayers FOR A SPEEDY RECOVERY. The way I see it (no pun intended) the sooner you have the procedure, the sooner you'll be able to ride. Let's do it! :pray::doorag:

My prayer for you is one of acceptance. It is not for us to second guess Gods plan for us. I do pray that restored vision is in His greater plan.

God is good and will always do what's best for us. My wife has been in the hospital for over two weeks and this is her 4th time in the last year. I am recovering from surgery I had last week. But, through it all God is always working His perfect will in our lives. My prayer is for a successful outcome from this procedure and a special peace for you that only He can give. I'd love to meet up with you on one of your rydes when all this is over.

I solidly echo John and Pastor Chuck's comments. I also have spent 35+ years with only right eye sight. No 3D movies for us:sour:. Seriously- I think of the blind man we hear about in Mark 10. Be comforted in the Great Comforter. HIS plan may not always match ours, but it is always the best one:thumbup:....

Chuck- adding you and your bride to my list, sir.

[Brevet05]

You've my prayers, and your signatre line says the critical piece; have faith in His will!

You've got our prayers Doc. I know how hard it was on my dad when he couldn't drive anymore.

[DougB]

Not sure my behavior is any better than yours, but I'll give it a shot.

[DynamoBT]

Will definitely keep you in my prayers for a safe and successful surgery. May you have many years of sight and many more miles in you!

[memphisdan]

BikerDoc you will be in my prayers.

[mrwidget]

Prayers are blessings especially when given for others. We will keep you in our prayers! Heal quickly.

I have prayed for your successful surgery, and that you see (no pun, but truthful statement) your way to Church.

[GhostRyder]

May your opthalmologist have skilled & steady hands.

May your anesthesiologist make you comfortable before, during, and after the procedure.

May your nurses take GREAT care of you throughout the entire surgery and afterwards (don't forget to ask about their sponge bath specials).

And may you have a fast & speedy recovery with AWESOME results!

Good luck and God bless!
:pray:

[AnthonyG]

You will ride the Spyder for a long time, believe me, The good Lord
will take care of you. I almost died in Vietnam, I LOST my left leg
above the knee plus other wounds that I received in Combat.
I SHOULD have died, but Jesus took care of me as Jesus will
take care of you. You have my prayers. Please let me know how
you are doing.

God Bless.:2thumbs:l

[BumbleBee]

My prayers are with you. Wish you the best and hope everything goes well with your surgery.

[Spyderjohn]

We are praying for you. :pray: Be positive!

[capt.jim]

Hey bikerdoc, here's wishing you the best with your eye surgery, they can do some amazing things these days, hope you have a speedy recovery so you can get back in the saddle soon, praying for you bro!

[SilverFox1]

Hey BikerDoc! I see a lot of prayers going your way for a successful eye surgery and fast recovery. That is good. I will be praying for you also. I go to Church everyday, you see, I work there. But, if it's OK with you, I'm going to pray for the doctor also at the same time. My son is a surgeon. Trust me, doctors know what you are feelling right about now and I, well, I know what doctors feel also. He tells me!!! Think positive. It's all going to work out. You'll see...........:pray: :pray:

[jimclarkf1]

Tuesday night I will be going to my Church meeting, and they will ask, who need some extra prayers. Ill say your name:thumbup: HANG IN THERE DOC, It works:clap:

[Phil]

BikerDoc- Isn't this just amazing?! WOW! Look at all of the love from this group to a person that many of us have never met. But we are tied by the love of three wheels, and a love for others... that can't be explained. Just do a search on prayer in this forum and see what you find. Prayer goes out from our members for health issues, safe travel, family members, death, lots more. Members talk of how prayer and their BELIEF in God, carried them through the darkest of times. I'm one of those guys. It's not something I say... it is a way of life. From what I read, there's several of us that feel this way Doc. We mean every word of that we say when we say we will be praying for guidance for all of your doctors and for God's permissive will to give you many years of continued sight. And we are honest enough to say that God may have a different and better plan. It may not be better in our confined myopic view. Remember that HE can see a boatload more than we can. I can't tell you the things I prayed for only to hear a 'no' or 'not now'. AFTER the fact, many times, I can see that my desires weren't the best in the big picture. Drives me nuts some times! I will say this- WHEN that has happened, my next prayer was that He would give me the grace, understanding and clarity to make something good out of the situation. I have ALWAYS had that prayer answered with YES!

I tell my son-in-law... God ain't no slot machine. We can't keep puttin prayers in expecting one to eventually pay off. There is ONE that will, but that's for an off-forum conversation :)

I have to smile... On the Off Topic Board there is a thread called Off Topic Discussions that called for there to be no mention of God or race or religion. We'd be in sad shape here wouldn't we, ...if God was taken off the table!:D

[patdcop]

My prayers are added.

[effgjamis]

Hey my friend I have been there and done that.all in the past 6 months. I sent you a PM with the details.


Lets Ride.......:yes::yes::yes:

[bikeguy]

My prayers are surely with you, BikerDoc, and I'll say one for the doc who will be working on your eye as well. I had cataract surgery on both eyes last year and see well enough now that I was able to remove the eyeglasses restriction from my driver's licence. I'm praying that your surgery comes out as well.

Prayers sent out to you for a safe and successful surgery and a spedy recovery

[2WCKED]

Prayers going out for you. :pray: I wish you all the best!

[tofriendscreek]

Having had major surgery on both eyes, I fully understand your fears. I will continue to call on the Lord to give you peace with the procedure, confidence in the doctors and his grace that when the bandages are removed you will see the world in all of it's beauty from the seat of your Spyder! Faith isn't easy, but sometimes it's all we got.

One of the best posts I've seen on this Forum! Thanks Phil. All I can do is say AMEN.

BikerDoc ... about this time, I think God might be saying .... there sure are a lot of folks that love Bikerdoc .......... and I am going to pray for an extra measure of His Grace for you. He loves you unconditionaolly regardless of how you have acted - just ask me!!!!! He will give you His best and it will all work out.

This is one great group of people. If I ever sell my Spyder I am still going to hang around here.

[flamingobabe]

I don't know if I have behaved any better than you...but am will to ask God for sucess in your surgery and to give you strength to heal quickly...prayers from Texas...

I guess I'm the minority that agrees with what Arthur said. Discussions on such topics often lead to angry posting and arguments.

[MoonChaser213]

and see great now....I pray you have the same success, Hal. Sending healing energy to you now.....:f_spider: Believe things will get better, and they will. (who said that?)

[Barbary]

[Mr. White]

Doc, you will get through this with flying colors...why? Because I said so. My luck is with you.

[COOLMACHINE]

Of course my prayers are with you and your soon-to-be successful operation. May God Bless you and watch over you. Of course it is no big deal Doc but would you share your first name with us? I'm Jerry. Thanks.

[Blue Star]

I guess I'm the minority that agrees with what Arthur said. Discussions on such topics often lead to angry posting and arguments.

I agree with the fact that this topic could lead to arguments, but only if you can get two people to argue about it. I personally will never tell someone that their opinion is wrong, no matter how stupid it is.

[BikerDoc]
