I was at AOL getting ready to read my e-mail when I saw this article of a woman who woke up in the middle of her surgery (http://www.aolhealth.com/2010/05/18/waking-during-surgery-like-being-entombed-in-a-corpse/?icid=mainmaindl1link1http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aolhealth.com%2F2010%2F05%2F18%2Fwaking-during-surgery-like-being-entombed-in-a-corpse%2F). I don't know what my reaction would have been if that had ever happened during the surgeries that I underwent.
It is called "anesthesia awareness" and happens in 1 to 2 out of 1,000 surgeries that took place. Can you imagine waking up and being aware that people are cutting you up, taking things in and out of you, etc...I can only imagine what the experience of poor Carol (the lady in the story) must have been like and I pray I never will....
But there is another kind of awareness that it seems that some of us in the body are going through; we are seeing what is happening around us in the world and like the lady in the story we cannot do anything except maybe to scream and yell. However in our case, we have a difference.
I imagine how wonderful it would have been for this poor lady to all of a sudden be able to find some way to be able to let her doctor know what was going on and have it stopped and taken care of. In our case, we can do that. It is called prayer, we can call out to got and ask for His help in a situation. And we know that however He will do it, He will stop and take care of the problem for us. He will also one day take care of all of the stuff that is going on in the world so that we will never have need of "The Great Physician", but rather be with the Father!
