Prayers, Please, for my Eyes?

I hate to bother you folks for special prayers for myself, but at the moment, the retina specialist this morning scared the living daylights out of me. I'm normally a very strong and stoic gal, and have faced many a bump on life's road with a semblance of dignity, but this time, it involves my eyes, and it does give me a few moments' concern.

Ok - here's the deal. Late August, I was at the ophthalmologist's and they referred me to a retina specialist because he said he detected "leaking" back there. This doctor did not seem alarmed, only cautious, so I happily and trustingly made my appointment.

This morning, the retina dude tells me I've got to go in for an "eye angiogram" next Wednesday. They will inject a dye into the top of my hand. They will try to detect whether I am bleeding back there - bleeding? See, that's part of the scary part.

Best case scenario - it could be as simple as age-related Retinoschenisis or retinal schenisis, which is not too alarming. No treatment necessary.

Worst case scenario - there is bleeding. In that case, I would need injections right into the eye. Everyone I've ever heard who had injections directly into the eye says they are really painful.

So, even though I will obviously follow God's will in this matter, I'm selfishly hoping and praying for mercy on this one.

Sweet Lord Jesus, you lived in one of our bodies for over 30 years, so you know how we feel and what we fear. You know I am really scared. However, I will send this prayer up and let you take over for me. Not my will, but the Father's, be done. Still, it can't hurt to ask - we've been told to do that. Jesus, I trust in you!
