Dhamma Wheel Buddhist Forum

It has been almost a year since i was suppose to receive heart surgery. There have been issues with my kidneys, lungs, and foot. Seems we have been going around in circles trying to get me "fixed" enough for the surgery. Last week, I called and made an appointment with the heart surgeon again.

I have a tentative date for the quadruple bypass surgery, May 1st. There are still all kinds of health complications, but the heart surgeon says that if i am willing to take the risks involved that he will perform it. The bone in my foot isn't healed and my pleural cavity keeps filling up with fluid, but i can either keep going on like this or try the operation. I have about a 70 percent chance of surviving the operation. Everyone seems to think that i will be much better after surgery, but the surgeon said not to expect vast improvemnt, probably because of all the other issues. I may be spending a month in the hospital and in rehab.

I am wishing you all the best Sattva.
I know this last year has been a harrowing one for you.
You have been constantly in my thoughts.
with metta,

Ben

wishing you good health.

I realy hope you get well, sattva.

Wishing you the best.

Hope it goes well.

I hope everything goes well.

You will be in my thoughts and dedications of merit! May you be well, happy and healthy!

Lots of good wishes to you, sattva.

It is going to be a long, hard road. But as you can see, our thoughts are with you.

May all misfortunes be averted, may all sickness be healed.
may no danger befall you, may you live long and happily.

Dear Sattva,

May you be free of mental and physical pain, may your medical treatment meet with success.

She is such a precious little Buddha who has touched us all with her love and compassion...THANKYOU JONNO

I am an Ahmadi peaceful Muslim. I am new on this forum. I am reading Gospel of Buddha by Paul Carus.
I am given to understand that there are no prayers in Buddhism; but here I see people do pray. Did Buddha also pray?

I pray SATTVA recovers and gains health very soon.

Wishing you all the very best Sattva.

I am wishing you the very best, too, Sattva.
