On Tuesday I fly to Winnipeg to retrieve the vehicle that my ex drove off with at the beginning of September.

Everything has gone well - the ownership is back in my name, I have a buyer for the vehicle; the ex even had a landlord of his call me - this guy sells cars and the ex had told him about the spot I was in with the vehicle.

I am asking for prayers for the drive back. Weather forecasts look good - but it is a 15 hour haul. Will overnight with a cousin in Moose Jaw and having a pizza din din with Nicole on the way back the next day.

Prayers and good thoughts please for good weather and a safe drive home.

Thanks!

Phred ~ We didn't know they did surgery on weekends either! The surgery team is booked for a month or 2 so they agreed to work this weekend because Bobcat needs surgery ASAP or the nerve damage and muscle weakness could be permanent if they don't repair it now.

Thanks for all your prayers. I read them to Bobcat and he was very touched. We're heading out the door to the hospital. I'll start an update thread later.

Irene just called me, just before 10:50 MT.

She and another person are overnighting at the hospice; Greg, the priest I know, was to go up tomorrow.

He left about 20 minutes ago.

Joe is unconscious and unresponsive. He has been dying for a few weeks, of course, but this looks like the end.

He has been in a lot of pain the past several weeks; even Irene was wanting him to die so that the pain would be over for him, at the same time being torn up because he was going to die. That horrid mixed feeling.

I joined Irene at the hospice yesterday afternoon. Joe and I were out on the smoking deck waiting for Irene.

The breeze was chilly, but the fall sun was nice. Joe appeared to doze in his wheelchair, then opened his eyes and said, "That feels good." "The sun?" I asked. He nodded, and closed his eyes again, soaking it in.

Asking for prayers for Joe and Irene, and Karen who is with them too. Irene promised Joe that she would be there for him, as far as she could. And she kept her promise, even though she herself has put off surgery to treat something that has her in great pain.

Thanks, all.

ETA: Irene phoned me just after 3:30. Joe died peacefully at 3:05 am.

It's all right now, Joe.:love:

[Catty1]

May I ask one more, please?

My Aunt Lydia is in her early 70's. She smoked tons all her life til several years ago when cancer the size of a centimeter was removed from one lung. She was lucky, and has been off the smokes ever since.

She just had a checkup, and she has a carcinoma at the back of her bronchial tube in the lungs. I am hoping that since she has had regular post-cancer checkups that this was caught early enough that she can recover.

Thanks.

Two. My friend Mary, who's a couple of years younger than me and has three children, has been on chemotherapy for recurrence of a brain tumor for over a year. The tumor has stopped responding to the chemotherapy and she will be starting on a new medication probably next week. Please pray that the new medication will work.

Thank you,
Elyse


Update. Mary has had her first few doses of the new drug. So far it has left her extremely tired. I got an e-mail asking for friends to prepare family-friendly meals, freeze them and deliver with reheating instructions because she is not up to cooking for her family. I don't know yet if the chemo is working - I don't believe she has had any follow-up imaging studies yet. I'll keep you posted.

Thank you,
Elyse

Jack-a-Roo took a road trip wiffa Bi-Ped Folks over to the ole stompin Farm
in OhHiHo ... did an interview wiffa Nice Gurl (who they hired onna spot) -
jumped back inna Husky Bus an motored back to the Island wiff Tori.

Things have been GREAT wiff Jack an Tori - he's taken her to da Ocean,
da Sights, da Parks, da Neighbours, shared his mini-Bi-Ped Friends ...
they've become Good Buddies! All has been well ...

:eek: Till Tuesday nite! :(
Tori suddenly showed extreme pain - and was rushed to the ER.

By 3:30 AM Wednesday morning she was in Sir Jury for a serious bowel obstruction
AND a twisted artery. Bad pieces were removed, holes patched,
artery straightened, Zippur installed ... and the Healing has begun.

Need we suggest ...

Pet Talk Prayers are requested ... this is a *serious* situation that will
require a *serious* PT Prayer commitment from ALL the PT Critters
and their Hooomins. ~~~ *!, 2, 3 ... Let's all PRAY!*

Jack-a-Rooo & his Bi-Peds say THANKS!!

I haven't written much because its still been a bit up in the air as to how her recovery is going. But she is finally showing some interest in eating, and the last 3 nights, she's eaten a small meal. She's very picky, what she'll eat one day, she won't the next. But I talked to the vet (again) today, we're unsure why she still isn't going potty more firmly, but the vet said we can start to focus on that being the main problem right now rather than complications from her surgery. He said she's pretty much in the clear from leaking into her gut from sutures or tears. That's good news!

Prayers for my Grandma Hollandsworth.

While shopping with my parents yesterday, she had a mini stroke. They were able to get her to the hospital in time before any major damage was done.

Doctors want to run some more tests (something about her heart :confused:) and keep her there for a few days.

I'm very close to my grandma (my sisters and I are the only grandkids) and she hasn't been taking very good care of herself since grandpa died in 2002.

But I have to hand it to her, she's still as sharp as a tack, lives on her own and she'll be 90 on Dec. 26th! :love:

Thanks!

[Husky_mom]

I thinks this is my first personal request here...

hubby made an awful choice of bussiness with a "family" member of his... now we´re up to our neck in debt... this person is more than likely never gonna pay...

he sold both cars we had to get a better one.. but this better one has no papers and it´s still owed!!.. add to that that we might need to sell our house so the banks step back a bit..

at first the idea sounded good.. hubby lent his credit to get a car for him (or so I knew) and he would pay back in a month with whatever bussiness he had and hubby´s credit score would be awesome so we could get a bigger house.. well.. not... he started making monthly payments and hubby said "as long as it gets paid it´s ok".. then he stopped paying at all.. and now i know it was not one car but FIVE!!.. and guess you owes them... yup the hubs..

so I ask for prayers so this can get sorted out.. that we can pay the debt and still be able to have a home and car of our own... and of course that the mf relative pays us one way or the other..

Dear ones, would you say a prayer for my family's friend George, who was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor around Labor Day. He has had surgery followed by radiation and chemotherapy. A repeat MRI of his brain shows that the radiation and chemotherapy have basically done nothing and the tumor has begun to re-grow. He starts a second round of chemotherapy on Monday, Dec. 14 with a second-line drug, Avastin (every two weeks).

Thank you,
Elyse

Prayers and positive thoughts are being sent to everyone in need.

I have two prayer requests. As many of you know my Sunny has been diagnosed with cancer.:( It's oral squamous cell carcinoma and it's a very aggressive form of cancer. Please send some prayers and positive thoughts his way. I hope to have a lot more good quality time left with him.

The second request is for my SIL's nephew. He's only 7 years old and he's been diagnosed with cancer.:( He was playing soccer and got hit in the chest really hard. Then he was complaining of being in pain. They took him to the doctor and he had internal bleeding which they were able to stop. They then took x-rays or an ultrasound and this is when they found several tumors on his liver.:( My mom told me this bad news today. She said that one form of this kind of cancer usually responds well to treatment but the other form doesn't. Hopefully he has the kind that will respond well to treatment. Thanks in advance.

[Catty1]

My aunt...about 74, next oldest to my mom...

She smoked like a chimney and drank like a fish all her life. A few years ago - 7 maybe? - they found she had lung cancer. They removed a lower lobe from one lung; she stopped smoking totally after that. A year or two later - the lobe from the other lung. In both cases, they got it all.

A couple of months ago, x-rays showed a shadow. After all the scans and tests, she went into surgery again to have an upper lobe removed.

The cancer has moved into her lymph nodes; it's inoperable. The surgeons just closed her up again.

My mom once said that my aunt "was born angry". She had a hilarious and outspoken sense of humour.

They are going to maybe try chemo.

I am asking for prayers for my mom, her sister. Also - for my aunt - yet I feel she deserves peace after being at war with her world for so long.

Thanks.

[Catty1]

My aunt, the one with cancer...I phoned her yesterday and she was sort of ok until I told her my mom had kept me informed. She started crying and said "I'll be fine," and that she would just go home and get ready for the chemo (it'll only give her a few extra weeks - and she does NOT have a good time with chemo). I told her she was a brave woman, and told her I loved her. "I love you too, sweetie," she said.

She was a radiology technician when younger. She is an amazing knitter - knits baby kits for the local hospital, and made beautiful sweater's for her nephew's two little boys. She does have a heart. Her dad was alcoholic and beat up mom...I guess each child responds a different way. I feel sorry for her - she did do the best she could, and she and my uncle raised two great boys.

If anyone can spare prayers - my wish for her is that she finds some serenity and peace within herself. A remission from cancer would be the ultimate miracle, but it doesn't seem likely.

Prayers for one wee moment of pure joy and peace.

Thanks.

[Catty1]

Trivial prayer...but asking anyway.

Tomorrow I am going to a client's place to install a 2GB RAM kit. I bought this before Christmas - it was $62.+ including tax.

I can't find the d*** thing anywhere...not in my car, office...checked all coat pockets...I have NO idea where else to look!

I remember putting them in my carry bag after I bought them, and one of the staff was hauling an old computer tower out to my car.

I can only hope that when I go to the store to buy it AGAIN, that somehow I will have dropped it there.

This just sucks...and it's not a type I will use frequently at all. OH WELL.:(

[wolflady]

Hello all, I check in here every so often to see how everyone is doing and for folks with prayer requests, and I have one to add to this chain. Recently my dad went in for surgery for what they thought was a hernia. They also found a mass which they removed, so that was unexpected. They didn't seem too concerned about it, but sent of a sample for a biopsy anyway. Turns out it was cancer. :( I have been so upset about this news and feel really helpless...like there's nothing I can do. I love my dad very much and am not ready to lose him. :( He's supposed to go in for some further tests to see if it has spread anywhere else, so I'm asking for prayers that they got it all during surgery and that everything will be ok and that it hasn't spread. Thank you all for caring!:love:

[Catty1]

wolflady - I pray that the doctors did remove all the cancer. Even if they didn't I pray that was the bulk of it and any remaining can be treated quickly and successfully. :love::love::love:

My dear elderly friend Jennie is dying.

Her daughter and I had been messaging back and forth. My aunt is also ill with terminal cancer, and I wanted to see Jennie but needed to be here for my aunt AND my mom.

Jennie's daughter said that even though she had had a heart attack, the docs expected her to have another 18 months, so to give my family priority of course!

I was going to call Jennie Sunday but was exhausted.

Today - about 11 hours ago now - Jennie's daughter posted that she had spend 7 hours in emerg with her mom. Jennie has congestive heart failure. Trouble breathing...liver function has stopped. Kidneys are shutting down. To quote: "She is shutting down."

Prayers please that her passing is peaceful. Jennie knows how much she meant to me, and she and Pappy and I always said the "I love you's."

Thanks.

My grandmother was taken to hospital this morning. As yet, we are not sure exactly what the problem is, but from what we know so far she is in some substantial degree of pain.

She put up with the pain for an entire night because she didn't want to bother anyone. That is so typically her - as sweet as they come.

I don't usally ask for prayers, but a little PT magic has worked in the past. I will keep all others in this thread in my thoughts, too.

Yep. I've got an interview on Thursday - university hospital with a good reputation, with several primary care sites in the surrounding suburbs. They're looking for a nurse to handle insurance communications and discharge planning for patients from the primary care clinics who have managed care insurance and are admitted to the hospital. I can do that. I'd be happy working there because I got my master's from their program - and also because they now have an on-site fitness center, which they didn't when I was a student there. I'm sure I could do good work there and I'd learn a lot.

Thank you so much! I'll update after Thursday---

I also have another request..I have HSPA's next week - it's a graduation requirement - meaning I HAVE TO PASS them. If I don't pass them, then I need to take a class next year and drop one of my science courses that I REALLY need to take, and TAKE them again.. Please wish me luck next week with these exams?

I got an e-mail today. Didn't get it; didn't even get a second interview. I'm disappointed. I have another interview tomorrow with a company near the Merchandise Mart.

And dad is in the hospital. He's been having jaw and shoulder pain with activity for the past several weeks and it has gotten to the point where he's getting it with less and less activity. He called his cardiologist, who sent him to the hospital, and they kept him for some following up.

And dad is in the hospital. He's been having jaw and shoulder pain with activity for the past several weeks and it has gotten to the point where he's getting it with less and less activity. He called his cardiologist, who sent him to the hospital, and they kept him for some following up.

Update. Dad had one blocked artery, so he had one stent placed. he managed to avoid catching the cold my mom and I both had. It took about a week for him to get back to his usual energy level and he is still taking iron tablets.

No news on the job hunt yet. I've sent out a bunch of resumes, made a lot of follow-up calls. Nothing yet. I have a few more follow-up calls to make next week.

Saying an extra prayer for Dalon and her sons....I'm so sorry for all your sorrows at this time.
He's in God's hands now,and I'm sure Alan is looking over you all,with every chapter of life you go through.

To all:
Sorry I haven't been around to much lately,but please know that I'm thinking of everyone here at Pettalk and praying for all of us to have strength and positive thoughts for the rest of our own lives.
Life can be very hard,but live it,love it,and help one another with kindness.

My husband and his family could use some prayers for his Grandmother. She is almost 99 years old and has been going downhill the last year. She now has pneumonia and is not expected to recover. Her wishes, and the families as well, is that she have her last days and hours at home, so she is under hospice care as well as her daughter and daughter-in-law who worked in the nursing field all their lives. On Friday we were told the hospice nurses expected her to only last another 4 or 5 days. So it's just a waiting game at this point.
Prayers for no suffering and a peaceful passing, and strength for the family would be nice.
Thank you for listening.

Edite: Minutes after I posted this we got the phone call that Grandmom had passed on.

The PT people are always in my prayers. . .

I have a special request today, though. My friend Joyce has abdominal adhesions that have made her life a pain-filled misery. She is once again back in the hospital after a surgery that wasn't as successful as expected. I am going to light a candle for her. . .will you guys please say a little prayer for Joyce? She's such a cool lady!

Thanks!

6 years ago on 4-5-2004 my Grandma M met her Savior at 11:55pm.
I remember talking to my friends on AIM and their condolences and love I felt thru their words via a simple instant message, meant the world to me. I miss her everyday.
Almost 6 years later to the minute, @ ~ 9:15pm 4-5-10 my brother in law's grandmother C, left this world to be with her Savior after a short but brutal battle with pancreatic cancer that she was just diagnosed with the 2nd week of March 2010.
I know Grandma M was there to show her around. That's just the way she was.

[cassiesmom]

I got an e-mail today. Didn't get it; didn't even get a second interview. I'm disappointed. I have another interview tomorrow with a company near the Merchandise Mart.

And dad is in the hospital. He's been having jaw and shoulder pain with activity for the past several weeks and it has gotten to the point where he's getting it with less and less activity. He called his cardiologist, who sent him to the hospital, and they kept him for some following up.


Updates and a new request:
Dad is doing great. His biggest complaint is that his knees hurt (arthritis in both of them) when he walks around the block. The weather has been so nice that he and mom try to walk around the block every evening after supper. It is difficult for mom because of her post-infection arthritis so they go slow. His doctor said he should go back to cardiac rehab so he is on the waiting list for that.

I didn't get the job near the Mart. The building was beautiful, though - the old Chicago Central Office Building has had a major rehab.

New request: I have an interview for a position in the suburbs next week Tuesday morning. I'll keep you posted.

Thank you,
Elyse

Hey everyone, I have a big prayer request.....
I have a very good friend who is also a classmate of mine, who is in the army reserves. Well, apparently she is on the battle roster to be deployed to Afghanistan. :(:(:( I don't know when she would have to leave IF she is for sure leaving. We are starting 4th term of our Veterinary Technology program, she is my best friend.
PLEASE PLEASE pray that she is pulled from the battle roster, and that she DOES NOT have to leave! Thank you, this would mean so very much to me, as well as her.

My mom had rotator cuff surgery on March 2nd of this year. This was her 5th surgery on her shoulder. They were able to do another rotator cuff surgery but the surgeon told us that her muscle lining has become very thin and he wasn't sure if the stitches were going to hold up or not but we are hoping they would heal but I'm not sure if that's the case now or not. I've been helping her out when I can from time to time, my dad has actually been helping out which is good.

Anyway, she had a lot of pain after surgery which we expected but as the weeks went by she doesn't seem to be getting any better.

To make it worse she’s been getting nausea sometimes and gets these dizzy spells and she’s sick for a day or so and then she starts feeling better. She at the doctors today actually right now so I’m hoping they will tell her what’s been going on with that.

If you could spare a small pray that her shoulder starts feeling better soon I’d really appreciate it. She is supposed to have knee surgery soon (they finally said they would do that after many years of pain) which she doesn’t know if she will want to go through that but I’m just hoping her shoulder heals up and she won’t need a shoulder replacement or anything like that.

Thank you for the prays,

A very special person and friend passed away Wednesday, April 21st. Please keep the family of Lynn Bertrand in your prayers tomorrow, Friday, as that is the day they lay her to rest.

Lynn was so special. Even during the times she was in an incredible amount of pain and very ill, she kept a bright outlook and started every day with a positive thought and happy cheerful GOOD MORNING's to her friends.

I will miss her a lot.

My partner is going in for surgery tonight. I didn't catch what the procedure was when I was speaking to her mother but it sounded like a minor procedure. She has been very ill for over 2 weeks and has been in and out of the hospital the past few days. I'm still worried, no matter how minor the procedure. I'd appreciate any prayers or good vibes.. thanks! :)

[Nomilynn]

I would like to request some prayers for my mom. She is having a rough time right now; she was suspended from work for "being unfriendly" and she's taking it very hard.

My mom is the most caring woman I know. She is very intraverted (sp?) and so to some people that comes across as warmth and respect and to others it comes across as standoffish. I hate that she is so sad :(

She has a meeting with her managers tomorrow to discuss the incident so please send her lots of prayers and good vibes tomorrow. Thanks. :love:

May I ask for some prayers for a very special young friend of mine, Yan qing who has been trying for a baby for over a year. She is currently around eleven weeks pregnant but has just started to "spot" blood today. She is in hosptal wit her feet up and they have stopped it for now but please send her your loving thoughts and remember her in your prayers. She is the friend who rescued Fifi the poodle I currently have here from being thrown out on the street.

Love and prayers for all of you and yours that need them .

My best friend's father passed away suddenly last week, likely on Wednesday. He was only 54. They don't know what caused his death yet, but have done an autopsy and say the results will take about 6 weekd. He died in his home. Also, my friend is getting married in October and now will not have her father to walk her down the aisle :(

Please say some prayers for her and her sister. All the arrangements for his funeral are being handled by my friend, and with the wedding coming up, she is feeling so overwhelmed. Also, her sister is feeling a lot of guilt because she was estranged from her dad due to his alcholoism (which likely was a contributing factor to his death).

As well, he had a sweet kitty named Willy (pronounced Villy as her dad was German) who is completely terrified right now :( He was in the home when the father died and was in the apartment when the paramedics and everything came in the house. My friend now has him at her place and has him secluded in her bedroom but he won't come out and has not eaten, drank or used the kitty box since Friday. She's put out all his favourites and we are hoping he will come around slowly. So please include sweet tuxie Willy in your prayers, who is missing his Daddy and doesn't understand what's happening.

Thank you all, I appreciate it. :love:

I'm asking for special and powerful prayers for my long-distance friend, Joyce. We met online because we are bird lady's. She is nutty, talented, delightful and dear to my heart :love:

Unfortunately, she has had tremendous problems with her intestines and has had surgery after surgery and something else always crops up. She is currently in the hospital with what is probably another fistula in her small intestine and must have surgery again. She is not in a great frame of mind either. I am asking everyone to direct prayers, postive energy, healing thoughts and thoughts of love to Joyce in Virginia Beach, so that she can be painfree, healed and happy once again.

Thank you!!

We just learned that the CEO of our company has passed away after a long battle with cancer. He was a good, decent, fair man and will be missed by many. Prayers for Dave Serlo in his passing. God rest his soul and comfort his family.

[pomtzu]

A prayer for comfort for a friend who lost her 2nd fur companion on Monday, 6/28, after losing the 1st one just a short time ago. This wasn't a natural aging process for either, but rather an intentional act of cruelty caused by a heartless and uncaring individual. One day, this person will be made to pay for the heartless actions that were inflicted upon a couple of innocent animals, and the pain and suffering and grief that was inflicted on the human of these wonderful animals as well.
May you find peace my friend, knowing that you did everything possible to save your precious companions, and in knowing you will be with them in a wonderful place one day. In the meantime, they again have each other, and you have two wonderful guardian angels. :love:

[cassiesmom]

Dear ones... Would you say a prayer for my brother Ray. He changed jobs 15 months ago after the family business finally fizzed out.

Thanks,
Elyse

The good news is ... Ray still has this job. The bad news is ... he is really not happy there. He is keeping a low profile, trying to do his work and hoping someone will eventually take notice of how unhappy he is. He's reluctant to say anything because he's concerned that if he does, his name will zoom to the top of the list of potential layoffs. I think he's got to say something but I definitely understand his reasons for keeping quiet. I'm praying that either things will get better or another position will come his way.

My first request is for one of our local communites that lost 3 - 16 year old kids in 2 separate accidents this weekend.

The second is a bit late - my dad had his knee replaced today - its been a long time coming but yet moved very quickly after he saw the doctor a few weeks ago.
he got along great and was awake all day long. very little pain so far -
tomorrow is another day -
I'll keep you posted - thanks!

So he knows what to expect, I think this one will go smoother b/c in 91 he had a crushing injury and couldn't move it for 12 weeks prior to surgery and that really set him back.
hope all is well with you and the puppers! :D

A request please, for little Kyron Horman. He's the 7 year old Portland boy that went missing over a month ago from his school. His stepmom is apparently crazy and most likely was the culprit in his abduction, .. and no one knows where he is or if he's even still alive at this point.

We've been rivited here in as this sad story takes bizarre twists almost every day - but still no Kyron.

(btw - I don't want to take away from this prayer thread - if people want to talk about her they should start a thread in the doghouse instead).

Hi Rizzy,
Tonight I'm asking prayers for my Pastor. Pastor Alice is a 24-7 Pastor who is always there and ready to help anyone day or night. Unfortunately, there are some health issues. Over the Fourth of July she was admitted to the hospital when a wound on her leg became infected. Two days after being released to go home the ambulance had to be called. Pastor Alice was readmitted with a dislocated hip. When I talked to her husband, he said they have no idea of how this happened. With asthma and a history of 2 heart attacks this can be tricky.

Ours is a small congregation and Pastor Alice is loved by all of us. We have all joined forces to decide who can do what to ease Pastor's burden and keep our church running during her recovery.

Please join us in prayer for Pastor's swift and complete recovery.

[shais_mom]

I would like prayers for my friend Adeline, her husband and new baby Aiden. (She is my friend that has gertie the poodle, Gus the Magic poodle that passed away a few years ago http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=141162&highlight=Gus&page=2 ) She had to be on blood thinners during her pregnancy due to a clotting disorder and she had her baby about 3 weeks early. He has been breathing too fast and having some issues. He was transferred to Children's hospital today b/c of a heart issue. :( Please keep them in your prayers that he gets to come home soon.

[RICHARD]

A little thought to all the people that need it.

Especially the 99ers who have run out of their unemployment benefits and will fall on hard times until either the economy gets better or the government sees fit to 'toss them a small bone'.

God bless them all.:(

Dear ones, would you say a prayer for my family's friend George, who was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor around Labor Day. He has had surgery followed by radiation and chemotherapy. A repeat MRI of his brain shows that the radiation and chemotherapy have basically done nothing and the tumor has begun to re-grow. He starts a second round of chemotherapy on Monday, Dec. 14 with a second-line drug, Avastin (every two weeks).

Thank you,
Elyse

Update. George has been in hospice care for about a month or so and he died at home yesterday morning. Several family members were present- his wife, son, brother and sister-in-law. It's been almost a year since his diagnosis. He was the person who gave me my final confirmation exam in junior high, and he gave it to me in a way that made me really think about all I had learned in confirmation classes and how to apply it to my life. Not just going through the motions of confirmation as an age 13 ritual. I am sad but also a little bit relieved because he had been having really bad headaches the past several days.

[pomtzu]

My sincere condolences to all of George's friends and family. May he now rest in peace.

It's been a long time arriving ... it's crept up almost un-noticed; but the
Keen Observer couldn't help noticing the onset ...

Olde Age and the ugly symptoms of multiple ailments have moved onto
The Ranch and *kicked* Ole Phred pretty hard!

First it was the Heart Attack with multiple stents and one for a Kidney.
Next the Kidneys got weak ... and now we're only a few "points" away
from needing Dialysis for outright Kidney Failure.

The ole Heart keeps trying ... but it's loosing the battle of too much fluid
and high pressure because of the Kidney problems.
Net result is ole Phred has NO Energy.
Breathing therapy has helped ... but I still do too much struggling to breathe!

And now we have a new hurdle to fight ... the old "Circulation problem"
that only bothered one foot has spread to both feet ... complete with
foot and leg swelling. Walking has become difficult.

We're gonna **MISS* all you Guys, Gals, and Pups this Sunday ...
A few PT Prayers will surely be appreciated ...
We're hoping to return for Memorial Day, 2011.

/s/ with ,
Cinder, Smokey, Heidi, and me / Phred

Dexter our 9 year old cat isn't doing like he used to. All he is doing now is sleeping. I was in the living room watching tv and my daughter was petting him in his basket. He got up, walked a few steps, slowed down, and fell to the ground. He was alive, but it was a minute before he opened his eyes. he got up and went back to his basket and seemed okay.

Thank you to those who prayed for me. I have mono, and it totally sucks! I still have 3 finals to make up, and this is my last term. Ugh I'm starting to get stressed. Thankfully my school is totally supportive and working with me.

[Roxyluvsme13]

I just found out that my grandpa is in the hospital. My mom said he's anemic and he's okay, but I'm still freaking out about it.

Prayers and thoughts would be appreciated. I wish I was there with him instead of 100 miles away :(.

Everyone who needs prayers, lots of prayers and positive thoughts are going out to you.

I need some good vibes sent my way. I had my annual mammogram on Fri. Aug. 27th. Ever since my mom had breast cancer I've been having one annually. The lady who screened me had to reposition me 3 extra times because she wasn't able to get a good reading on me so I was squished 7 times instead of the usual 4. She said that if it didn't look as good as last years then I'd be called back.

Well they called me on Tues. because they said that they need to do further testing. I was just thinking that it was because the lady wasn't able to position me very well and get a good reading. I left work early today because we were very slow. I did some shopping before I came home. When I got home I had a message from my gynocologist and she told me that I would be called back in for further testing on my mammogram. She didn't want me to be scared but she didn't go into any details. She left her work number so that she could explain it more to me but of course she was gone by the time I got the message. I'll either try to e-mail her or call her tomorrow morning.

I got a card in the mail from Kaiser tonight telling me that my recent mammography showed a finding that requires additonal imaging studies for a complete evalution. Most such findings are benign (not cancer). The additional images will allow the Radiologist to see the area(s) in question better. It then said that I'll be contacted to schedule the necessary imaging studies. I go back in on Tues. Sept 7th at 9am. I sure hope that they don't find anything.

[Roxyluvsme13]

Good luck, KAK, I'm sure everything will go fine.

So, my grandpa had to stay overnight in the hospital and my cousin stayed with him.

I'm going home here in about 3 hours, though I was planning on going before this happened, I'll get to see him. He's stuck in the hospital until they get the tests back and figure out why he is anemic.

I'll give you guys an update on Monday if I don't get to the library when I'm at home this weekend.

[slick]

KAK: the same thing happened to me recently. I was called back for further testing and squished every which way. Turns out I have some calcifications (sp?) and I now have to go back every 6 months as they need to be monitored. For now, I'm not worrying about it but if you Mom had BC, I can only imagine what's going through your head. Remember, there's no sense worrying about something you have no control over.

Hugs and prayers

I don't come to this thread very often, heck I'm not even on PT very often anymore but I've ready through the last couple of pages and send prayers to all of you.

My grandpa's been in the hospital a week now, they've been doing a lot of tests.

They found out that he has pneumonia in the lower lobes of his lungs.. and I received a call today from my mom with the worst news ever.

He has stomach cancer. :(

Thoughts and prayers would be really appreciated... They're going to try some radiation, but stomach cancer is incurable.

I really could use some PT prayers.

I am pretty crushed at the moment and could use a good thought or two, or three...

Thanks Gini and everyone else.:) I'm fine. I ended up having another regular screening of my left breast so I had to be squished 3 more times. Since they still couldn't get a good reading, I then had an ultrasound. The lady doing it said she couldn't see anything abnormal so she talked to the doctor and she then said that everything is fine.:)

I know that in my mom's case her's wasn't found in a mammagram and she also said that they couldn't find anything in an ultrasound either.:( During a physical, her regular doctor found some enlarged lymph nodes under her armpit and they then tested these and found the cancer that way.:(

Prayers continue to go out to everyone in need.

Dang,

Prayers sent out for everyone who has posted about a problem or loss in their family lately.

In between the time that we laugh and smile in life we run across a time when everything seem to go wrong. We can never be sure about what happens tomorrow, we can only stop, pray and hope that these moments won't last long.

Sometimes we think there is no end to the pain or confusion of the moment.

There is.

We just have to tough it out, tomorrow is another day and we are that much more removed from the 'right now'.

Sending prayers out to everyone who needs them.

God bless you all.

[Taz_Zoee]

I am sorry I do not frequent this thread. I promise I will come back and get a little updated on it.

I have a couple things I'd like to share here.

Last weekend one of Bruce's good friends committed suicide. He could not face the fact that he was financially strapped. He had moved to Ohio and purchased a bar. It didn't work out. So he and his girlfriend were all packed up and ready to leave to come back to California this past Monday. Saturday morning she went to the airport to pick up her dad (he was going to make the trip with them). When they got home they found him hanging from the tree in the backyard. Bruce does not know how to even deal with this. He was such a great guy. He was one of our biker buddies. RIP Don, I hope you are free of the pain and stress now.

Another thing I learned last night is the mother of one of my best friends has brain cancer. I have known my friend since we were 10 (that's 27 years of friendship), so I've known her mother that long as well. She is an active woman, so very full of life. Oh, and I might mention these woman suffered another loss last year when my friends brother took his own life as well. So my friend lost her brother and now soon her mother. She does have options. Radiation can give her a couple more years. No radiation will give her about 6 months. I have not talked with my friend yet. But I am going to see her next weekend.

Please keep us and these families in your thoughts. Thank you.

[krazyaboutkatz]

Cindy, I'm so sorry to hear all of this sad news.:( Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent out to you and Bruce and all of the families involved. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

He had surgery on his leg yesterday and is looking at another surgery for his ribs. He could use some extra prayers, thanks.

Our dear friend Phred is in need of prayers. Just got off the phone with him--He's been in the hospital since last Thursday with several health issues going on related to low blood pressure, water retention, and a couple other things, but he's feeling much better with the new meds and some physical therapy. He's also having a surgical procedure on Thursday. He sends greetings and says he misses all of you, (& not to send anything as he's hopes to be back home by this coming weekend.)
So please keep him in your thoughts & prayers , send healing vibes.

Great news, lizbud! I'll never complain about the yearly - er - 'female' checkup again. At least that little beastie is being watched closely. :)



I am sending a huge thank you prayer to my best and long time friend. She knows I have been struggling financially - as has she, being on a disability income. But she was able to work a job for a few weeks, and sent me an early Christmas gift - a chink of money via electronic email transfer! Manna from Heaven! It wasn't a lot by many standards - but it took a weight off, and I splurged a tiny bit on things I wanted: Henna for my hair (am trying brown), an OTT full spectrum light that my doctor recommended, and I guess a haircut to go with the colour.

THANK YOU!!!! :love::love::love:

[Medusa]

Great news, Liz. My computer was down for a few days and I was wondering what the test results were. Good for you!

[shais_mom]

Yes, phred's back in the hospital. I hesitated posting here b/c he hadn't given me permission to do so on the forum and I didn't want to invade his privacy. He gave me the all clear today so here is the update. He is now on dialysis and getting treatments of it every other day or so. Some days are better than others. He feels better on the days he doesn't get it.
He has his cell phone with him so anyone that has that and wants to call him please feel free. He had trouble remembering the name of the hospital he was in so I'm still working on that. If anyone wants his cell number please PM me and I'll get it to you.
Just please continue to keep him in your thoughts and prayers. He needs it. :(

edited to add
I think I found the hospital he is in - it doesn't say if it allows e-cards or anything but there is an address listed on the website. He has no idea how much longer he will be in he feels it will be a long time b/c he can hardly walk and can't take care of himself. So calling his cell phone might be the way to go.

[Randi]

Thank you for letting us know, Staci!

I sent Phred an e-mail only a couple of days ago and had no idea he was in hospital. I'm SO very sorry to hear it. :(

Phred told me in August that he would need dialysis, and he has some other health problems. I really hope the treatment will help him feel better and he be able to go home.

I suggest that we who know him well, send cards and give him a ring - and whatever is needed!

Staci, if you're in touch with him, could you please ask how we can help him the best way?

Who is taking care of Cinder, Smoke and Heidi?

Phred is THE pillar of Pet Talk and I really think we should do all we can to help Phred feel better. He is such a wonderful man!

I have his phone no. but not sure if it's his cell phone. I will try to give him a ring tomorrow.

Dear Phred, I'm sending lots and lots of good thought for you to get over this!! :love: Please doctors, make an effort - this is important!!

[Cataholic]

Looks like I will be asking for back to back prayers. This week, tomorrow, it is for the J-dog, Jasper, as he is having a mass removed from his shoulder. I had hoped it would be set for Tuesday, as I am off on Wednesday, through the following Monday for the holiday. So, prayers for Jasper, that the surgery will be smooth, and the biopsy non cancerous.

The prayers for the next monday involve my neice, Samantha, as well as my sister, Jessica. Sam is having a kidney transplant on Tuesday, the (a long time coming) and my sister is the donor. As you can imagine, this is a very big time for them, and we are simply fraught with worry.

Thanks,
Johanna

Staci and all, I found this under Communications on the hospital website:


Communication Needs
Televisions

In-room television is available in every patient room.

Telephone Service

Local calls are available for no additional charge. Please ask your nurse on how to access an outside line.

Personal Electronics

Laptops and personal music/video players can be used in your room, but it must be inspected and approved for use by our Bio-Medical staff. Select Specialty Hospital is not responsible for any lost or stolen items. Cell phones may be used in designated areas.

Mail

Mail is delivered to Select Specialty Hospital daily with exception of Sunday and federal holidays. Outgoing mail can be dropped off at the nurses' station.

Interpreter Services

Select Specialty Hospital offers care-related interpreter services for patients with limited English proficiency. This service is free of charge. Please contact your nurse, physician, case manager, or Hospital Administrative staff for additional information.

My guess is that unless Phred has access to his own computer, emailing him directly is not possible. Maybe someone near there could take a laptop in to him and he could read emails of FB posts. I don't know who visits him, though.

A small update on Jasper. The mass appears to be benign. It will be biopsied, just to be certain.

It appears the mass was scar tissue, from an old trauma- one made with a shotgun. :( The scar tissue was located under two bigger scars in the skin. The area around it, perhaps 8 inches around, is peppered with buckshot marks, or that is what it seems. My vet said he has operated on beagles/hunters that inadvertantly got shot, and that is what the marks seem like. :( My poor, sweet, timid boy. Anyhow, it is what it is, and it explains his personality so much.

I will be bumping up Sam's story, in prep for the surgery. Sure could use Phred right now. :(

It's good to hear that Jasper got some good news.:) Have you intro'd him
on the Dog pages? A picture would be nice too, I'd like to "meet" him when
you have some time.:)

More prayers for all who need them right now.

I'm posting this to ask for your prayers for a very special woman.

After 8 weeks in intensive care, our Pastor passed away this past Tuesday. The doctors sedated Pastor Alice, she was on a respirator and a few weeks ago the doctors did a tracheotomy to help her breathing. During this period of time, her husband Jeff never left her side.

Pastor Alice was everything a pastor should be. She was always available, day and night, to anyone for any reason. During her 14 years leading our small church, Pastor Alice started a food pantry that serves our community well, a swap-shop, and an ESL program. Every Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter, Pastor would have a holiday dinner at her house and everyone was welcome.

Her passing is a tremendous loss not only to our church but to the community as well.

Prayers for those who need them - especially Phred. My family could use some prayers. My grandma probably isn't going to make it through tomorrow. We went and said our goodbyes tonight, it was really hard. :( At least she will be with my grandpa now. We lost Corby's grandpa earlier this year so its been a rough year. :( My parents are already dealing with a lot with my dad getting hit by a car he's still wheelchair bound so for him to be able to come home for christmas they'll have to put in ramps and such.
