Hi guys/girls,

Saturday afternoon I had what I thought was a really bad lower stomach ache. Then Monday afternoon I went to the doctor and then into hospital for Emergency Surgery. I was totally freaked I even had to go to hospital (having extreme anxiety and all that). This is all a very sensitive subject but please bear with me. I had one of my testes contored around the other and it had inflammed to around 5 times normal size. Extremely painful. I had surgery about midnight and was in hospital until about dinner time on Tuesday. All of this was foreign to me since the last time I had been in a hospital (for myself was when I was born 22 years ago).

They had to operate and remove the inflamed one because it was dead. I was shocked to hear all of this and kept getting upset at God about it (after the surgey). So I'm pretty tender at the moment. I have to be very careful in my road to recovery.

While in hospital I realised God was using this trial to grow in my faith and learn to trust Him more, but what a painful way to do it. Anyway I prayed a lot and I'm still alive. It would be awesome if you guys/girls could pray for me please, that I recover quickly and its as painless as possible (medication) and that I get good sleep.

Thanks guys, God Bless!

Ow.

Ow ow ow.


That hurts just reading about it.

I can only imagine the pain you're in, bro. I'll pray for a speedy recovery for you.

God I pray that you'll just help W4J through this time and that you'll use this to bring him and others closer to you. Amen.

Oh my Gosh! I'm so glad you're alright! I'll be praying for your recovery and continued safety!

Feel better soon, friend!

Was it a torsion?

Lifting you up.

YEOWTCH! That's gotta be awful! I'm glad you went to the doctor when you did.

I'll be praying, Tin Tin.

shooraijin, actually the doctors did say it was a torsion, got a bit confused about what it was called. Is that much different from what I thought? Whatever it is, its quite painful. But I'll live (carefully).

Thanks so much for all the prayers, they are really appreciated!

holy moley. My loins hurt for you, Warrior. I will be praying, and of course nothing can stop you from having kids if it's the Lord's will for you to be a daddy, so keep that in mind! *hug*

I'm glad they caught what it was and will pray for you!

Geeeeee whiz.

I'm praying.

No, W4J, it's pretty much as you described (either the testicle wraps around itself or something else). It's a urologic emergency because if not treated, the other one can be lost as well -- the treatment is invariably surgical. I'm glad they did so promptly.

If you want to read a little about it, this is a good link (from the USA National Institutes of Health). Please note that there are necessarily pictures of the male anatomy. Fortunately, even if a testicle must be removed, the other is usually sufficient to maintain fertility and hormonal levels.

Priase God you are alive and heathy W4J! It hurts just thinking about it, but also for the surprise and fear you must have felt as this was all blurring by you at the hospital.

I will be praying for your recovery, and its good to hear that you are already thinking about how God could use this event to bring Glory to Him Self.

I'll pray for you too.

This is how I was like when I read this thread.



I am with all of the guys that said "OWCH!!!" Thats got to be painfull! I'll be praying for your recovery, man!

Gah, I'm happy you made it through! Battle's only half over though. I'll be praying for you! Get well soon!

I'll be praying for you recovery. It does sound painful, though.

Ahhhhhhhh, my poor baby! I can feel your pain now. I will do the same. My nephews stomach's been hurting alot to lately, but he might be faking it but I'm not to sure. I've been worried about him lately. He went to the doctors, but they just siad that he should start eating in the morning. I'm not sure they acually did anyhting for him tho. I hope u feel better very soon W4J!

sorry about that man, it must have been painful. I'll be praying for fast recovery.

I am so sorry for ya. And I'm praying for you. Get well soon.

God Bless you guys and girls, you are so awesome! Thanks for the prayer support and everything! Makes it a bit less painful to deal with.

My heavens! A part of your body went necrotic while it was still attached to you... I'll keep you in my prayers.

It's good that you can get along with only one, but oww, man, that sounds painful.

XD I've been watching this thread for awhile, and while I'm sorry that you went through it all... I can't help but laugh at all the guys' reactions to it XD

I'll continue praying for you matie!
