Hello,
Steven from InsiderHosting.com has broke his nose and is going in for surgery later today. Please Keep him in your prayers that things will go ok. Steven has anethesia and the doctor said there is a slim possibility that he won't wake back up. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers as he is under going his first surgery.

Tim, that's weird.
How can a broken nose be life threatening? Unless nose cartilage was pushed back in his skull, which I have only ever seen in people involved in fist fights...

Anyway, I'm sure I'm missing an important bit of information here, so best of luck to Steven.

:eek: a christian! No matter what I say or think, he won't like it.

Steven has anethesia which puts him under a slim chance the DR said. As I'm speaking to Steven as we speak. Please keep all rude comments to yourself.

Thanks Tim for the nice post. Needless to say that I won't be sleeping tonight. I try not to think too much in terms of not waking up as there is such a slim possibility of that. The reason why the doctor said that was because we have a case of something called malignant hypothermia which runs in our family. The thing with MH is that when under anethesia, the anethesia can trigger a reaction which can make the person go into a coma.

We have talked with the Dr. and anetheologist at length regarding this, and they say that everything will be okay.

-Steven

No Problem Steven. Thanks for clearing it up.

Good luck Steven!

Best wishes Steven. :)

Holy cow, Steven. Now I understand what this is about; a friend's wife spent several month in a coma for something that seems to correspond to what you're describing here.
My thoughts will be with you, man.

TimPD: are you refering to my post as rude? If you felt it's rude, then all apologies to Steven, even though I fail to see what I did wrong?

Steven, just so you know, I feel compelled to add that my friend's wife eventually woke up and after that big scare she's now completely back to normal

No, I'm not talking about you i'm talking about someone else.

My comment wasn't really supposed to be rude, but most christians have a problem with blessings from other religions.

But...
May the powers of the univers protect you! May the God of Sleep keep you safe! May the five elements come together to heal you! And may Odin welcome you in Valhalla if you have to go!

Good luck, i hope you get better soon steven!

Good luck with the operation Steven! I hope it all goes well.

--Shaun.

There is always a slim chance that you wont wake up if you have anesthetic

To be honest, I thought someone had died in a car crash or something when I read the title. Then I read the you had a broken nose and couldnt stop laughing.... then I read the other bit :( Sorry! I didnt know the rest!

Good luck!

Hey Steven best of luck.. Just wondering but they should have given you the option of local anestesia(sp?) .. I got in a car accident and my arm was shattered into like 4 peices and they had to install a rod in my arm and gave me the option of local so I would not have any chance of not waking up. I thought this was always and option atleast eveytime I have had to have surgery. I was in such pain I just had them put me under but I think if I had to do it over I would have taken the local.. Anyway get well soon and enjoy the sleep while you can get it .. :D

Good wishes to you.
It will be over before you know it.
Take care, ATST

Best to your health Steven!

I want to Thank You all for the kind words to Steven. It is now 12:32 pm and he will be leaving in 30 minutes. All these kind words to cheer him up as well as help comfort him. I'm not related to him just a friend of his (online) for those who ask.

When I pray to my God it requires the sacrifice of a virgin, any volunteers?

Keep any rude comments to yourself..

Ok Timothy, sorry.

NP. I haven't gotten an update yet on how Steven is doing.

I will pray to for him, can't wait to hear the good news.......

Jesus is Lord !

Omg... im all with the nice comments and everything, but praying, haha.

No thank you.

Personally, I would accept prayers from anyone no matter their religeon (or mine). To me it would simply mean they wish for the best on my behalf, and are doing something they believe will help.
If you don't believe in it, don't mention it.

Now, how about some good news!
:D

I spoke with a friend of his that lives close and knows him personally and this is from her directly :)..

Update
Steven is recovering fine, I went to go see him at his home last night (~10:00 pm PST), as he left for surgery around 11:30am PST and returned home at 9:30 PST. From what his family is saying the reason why it took so long was that his nose was badly broken and that his cartilge was deeply scattered and they didn't anticipate that. They also wanted to keep him in observation for 3 hours, since it was a possibility that he might not wake up due to a reaction with anethesia.

He is however doing better, just in a little discomfort (which is only natural). It made him feel better that there were new account signups and all current clients are happy as well when he returned.

A little discomfort? Now you sound like a doctor.
"a little discomfort" translates to "huge amount of pain"
Anyway, I am glad to see he is doing better.

Lol, so what you really mean is this is a waste of time.

Ok, we was worried at first. But when everyone started praying, it turned into a joke.

Hes all safe and well now, so god damn it stop going on about religion.

And I will mention it as there have been and there still are many people put to death in the name of it.

I don't look at it as a joke. I suppose you thought it funny to curse in the same post that you mention prayer. Why so hostile and upset over this? It is not my intention to antagonize you. I have never tried to force my beliefs on anyone.

-Lamar

For one, your making a false accusation.

You cant believe in something if it doesnt exist. And if no-one has no proof at all, and they cant even say you've felt, seen, smelt, tasted or heard it, then theres a VERY good chance it does exist.

Are we embarking on an ontological argument?

Vescot, please.
I, too, felt that "Jesus is Lord" was a little off, but, no matter what my beliefs -or lack thereof- are, I find particularly stupid to try and force your views on people. That's exactly the same kind of crap we got with the whole pledge of allegiance incident.
I am not offended that people say 'under God' and I am even less offended, if possible, when someone tells me "I'll pray for you" in such a situation. I know what they mean and am grateful.
Your claim that people die because of religion is a valid one, but not in this context; you're just trying to antagonize people for the fun of it.

Steven, my prayers are not with you ( :D ) but, just like everyone who prays for you, I wish you the best!

I know i know that's just what i was going to say, your on an ontological argument.

Erm, no. I go with the rest you said. But im really getting pissed off with all these religous people...

Heh, I suppose I should control myself as you said... would help if there wasnt a bloody CHURCH outside my house! they post more junkmail through your door than that 'l.a. fried chicken' place round the corner!!

Oh, and I didnt say that he was going to die because people was praying for him. I was stating that I do not like religion because people have died because of it. If I hadnt have said that, then I would have probably got someone asking me why I disliked it so much.

Hmmm... and that is coming from someone who cant spell prayers!! :D :stickout :rolleyes:

PS. My point was valid, period. I did not use it in the context in which you saw it as.

why do people post their views on religeon when the entire intent of this thread was to wish encouragement to someone who was undergoing surgery. So what if the word "prayer" was used?
Start your own thread on religeon.
Or heck, start your own religeon, I don't mind.
Peace and love to everyone.

Still wishing Steven well.

Hey guys, just wanted to post that I am alive and well, and very tired. Surgery was a little more complex than first anticipated because of all the external factors as stated before. I thank everyone so much for their kind words during this hard time for me. I still feel a little like crap because of all the pain killers and antibiotics but I should be fine in 2-3 days.

-Steven

Great to hear Steven.

If there is anything you need while recouping that I can do to help let me know.

Just out of curiosity, who did you piss off? :D

What, this was no joke...and as for the religion if you are so bothered by it why don't you go read some other threads.

Not, true. I can believe in something the 'does not exist', maybe you can't. It's just like in the movie Contact (I think) the one women doesn't belive in God cause no one has proof, so the one guy says, 'Well do you love your father?'. The women says 'Yes.' The guy says 'Prove it...'

That's my two cents.

Oh yah, good to hear Steven.

Lol, thats a bit different, because her father is atleast there for her to love, weather she does or not!

Congratulations on the successful surgery Steven. I did some searches on malignant hypothermia, makes one feel lucky to be free of such worries. On a side note, I agree with Vescot. Having been raised in a fiercely religious household (Seventh Day Adventists), I recoil from organized religion and, perhaps unjustly, boil when I see any reference to it. Any christian who wishes to defend his faith must read Augustine.

Rotifer, thanks, I needed that...

I feel swell that steven has gotten through this.

But I just get ticked off, when religion takes over something, I mean, this thread is for people to wish him all the best, instead, its turned into a religous bloody shrine. It just isnt on.

I know, if steven was me, I would simply be outraged that people would start praying religous crap about me. It just isnt on, it IS wrong... a lot of people just dont want a load of sheep looking up into space and blabbering on about them.

Whats more, its advertisement too, for the church! grrr...

Anyways, I suppose I did go a bit over the top, and all the best to you steven :)

No one is trying to force religion on any one but if you can't handle some poeple talking about religion that's your problem I don't see why we should have to not/stop talk about religion just because some people don't like it...

And this thread has always been about religion if you ask me look at the name of the thread it's called 'Please Keep Steven in Your prayers'...

There is always a slim possibility you wont wake up from anethesia, but its pretty damn slim...

Can we drop the religion. It is only going to offend people and I doubt that is anyones goal.

Whether you pray to god, or you pray to a rock the meaning is the same. Basically you are wishing the best for the individual.

Glideteck, funny how some people need a 'middle man' to make their thoughts work though eh??

I won't get into the religion debate. Believe what you want to believe, just don't try to push your beliefs onto anyone else, and don't criticize anyone else for what they believe. Pretty simple.

There is always a slim possibility you wont wake up from anethesia, but its pretty damn slim...

Tim didn't explain this well but, apparently, Steven suffers from a rare condition called Malignant Hypothermia. One who suffers from this may experience life threatening reactions to certain anesthetics. Of course, as you mentioned, anyone can experience complications under anesthesia. That's why they have attending anesthesiologists, right?

You have the same option that everyone has when they see something they do not like on Tv....change the channel. Change threads.

No one has tried to force anything on you. You are the only one that is being hostile.

"need a 'middle man' to make their thoughts work though"????
You act as if we are answerable to you. We are not. This is not a religious debate. I really do not understand your anger and animosity. Obviously, you have had some bad experiences, and are lumping everyone together. That's like having a bad experience with a girlfriend or wife, and thinking ALL women are bad. I've never before seen anyone become un-glued over the word 'prayer'.

-Lamar

...and we're all glad Steven is okay...
