Dear Lord, We pray for the successful surgery and recovery of our brother (fairgambit). Please comfort him and his family as they navigate this difficult time. May your presence be a source of comfort to him and his family. Guide his surgical team, give them the strength, skill and wisdom to bring our friend back to health.
Until we communicate again in a few weeks!

As I have mentioned in the past, Mrs. Gambit is a stickler for our privacy, so I will not provide the date or place, but in the coming days I will be undergoing open heart surgery, primarily to repair a badly leaking heart valve. The operation is serious, but my surgeon is among the very best and the chances of success are over 90%. Still, there are no guarantees. I have always been a strong believer in prayer and I will need all the help I can get going forward, so I ask that if you have a brief moment, and are so inclined, please ask the Good Lord to grant me a successful surgery and a quick recovery.
I don't want to put a burden on my wife in providing a post-surgery update and so I will just say that if all goes well I will let the Board know as soon as I can. If you don't hear from me by the middle of August...well, lets not even think about that.
Thanks in advance for all who might answer my plea.
My best wishes to all who post here. May God Bless us, every one.

Respectfully,
fairgambit

Heavenly Father, you are the greatest physician, you created our marvelous bodies, as we are "fearfully and wonderfully made" as you tell us in Psalm 139. You said in Jeremiah 33: 3, "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not". We ask for your guiding hand upon every surgeon, OR Nurse, those administering and monitoring anesthesia, and OR technician for a successful outcome without complications, and a full recovery. Grant a calm and peace for his wife and family. I ask this in Jesus name.

My friend fairgambit,

Think of all the tough moments you've overcome in the past; this will be another one you'll conquer.
You've got this fair and may peace fill your heart as you and Ms. fair prepare for this critical venture into the unknown. We're all rooting for your strength and a beautifully smooth journey.

My grandparents, from "The Old Country", essentially raised me and enshrined in me their values in God and our Nation. I make my prayers every evening and you'll be on my list of family and friends.

Godspeed and God Bless Mr. & Ms. fairgambit

Prayers to you. Tell me how it goes. I may have to go through the same thing as soon as I get over this cancer.

Thanks for reaching out for prayers and well wishes. Mine have already been requested.

You are fortunate to live so close to what I consider the best medical area in the northeastern part of the USA.

Your surgery has become fairly common and I'm certain that you will do really well. (y)

By mid-December Bambi in the Mercedes will be chasing after, but unable to catch, you at the tree lot.
