Do any of you have prayer requests??

[slick]

I have never responded to this thread and rarely visit it. It's bad, I know and I'm ashamed of myself. :o However, I just got home from work and something told me to open it up right away. I've just read Dorothy's post and somehow it seems way to close to home. Dorothy, I don't know what to say except to send out all my prayers to you, Bob and the family. Big {{{hugs}}} to you sweetie.

Catty, your post touched my heartstrings because I had an uncle that went through the same thing. He finally did have his surgery and made a complete recovery. He passed of old age about 10 years later. I pray that she will come out on the winning end very soon. Big {{{hugs}}} to you too.

...and to the rest of you, I'm deeply sorry that I have not responded to all of you. Please know that each and every one of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

[K9karen]

Forgive me as well. Sometimes, admittingly, shamefully, I get self absorbed with me, myself and I.
And my problems are nothing compared with others. The PT family is so dear to me that when I read sad things about them and their friends and family, it breaks my heart. So if I don't reply either, it's because I can't find adequate words to respond, from worry and shock, but please know that before I lay my head on the pillow at night, I pray in my own way for all of you and yours. I have a problem understanding why such sad/bad things happen to such good people. It boggles my mind.

[cyber-sibes]

Dorothy, I'm so sorry to hear about your dear friend Bob. He must have enjoyed your visit tremendously, as I'm sure you bring the same warmth & compassion in person that you send to us on PT.
And Catty1, I will keep your friend Irene in mind, I hope she starts to feel better soon.

[Dorothy39]

You can trust in me to PRAY for you and your family!!!!

I sincerely pray that God will " show " all of you your inner strengths~ and will lead you in the direction that offers " Home "and "Harmony!!!!!"

Blessing You during this moment of discouragment!!!!! :(

[Alysser]

Thank you!!

I am proud to say all is well, thanks so much for the prayers. :)

[I_luv_rusty]

Hope Everyone is well! And the PT prayers are working!!! :D

[Almita]

What i want to keep in my prayers at the moment for what i am suffering from is my grandpa who is about to pass away soon this year. He is still doing great just make me so sad when i talk to him he cries and he tell me "Alma yo no quiero morid horita no." which means "Alma i don't want to die, not yet." it made me so sad for him to say that to me and made me cry so much. Like i am right now since i have been pming with a GREAT friend that is also in the same situation as me she lost a loved one also and i want to have her and her family in my prayers and know that i am thinking about them as well as my family with the tragedy that is going through.

[Zippy]

Please Prayers of my aunt.

[*LabLoverKEB*]

I would like to have EVERYONE pray for Kaira, (Kay's girl) that she is safe, and that she comes home as soon as possible. I can't even imagine what must be going through Kay's head, and what she is feeling. All my love and prayers go out to Kay, and Kiara. :( :(

[Dorothy39]

I will continue to Hope and Pray that Kiara is found soon!!!!!

[Almita]

I agree i hope Kiara will be back home in Kay's arms in no time. Kay and Ki and the crew and Kay's family will be n my prayers hoping that Kiara will be back soon.

[shais_mom]

please say a prayer for my dad - he is having a lot of back pain and his legs are going numb and its difficult for him to walk but he won't stop "going".
Thanks

[gini]

Bless your heart - this is way more than the average bear can handle!

I know that all of us will continue to have you and your husband in our prayers.

I am not sure what is happening to the medical profession - as it now seems worldwide.

We have become people known by their number..............let's just hope they use the right number when you get your husband's test results back.

[dukedogsmom]

This is small compared to lots of others I see here. Please pray for Duke. Within just yesterday and today, he's stumbling and falling. It's his bad hip. He doesn't seem to have pain, which is good. I've been crying for the past hour, since I git home. I've sat in the floor with him and cried in his fur. I'm too upset to call the vet. Will call when I wake up and take him tomorrow. I can't even bear the thought of losing him. His mind is still active and he still likes to play. What am I going to do? :(

[Zippy]

please pray for my aunt again she is back in the hospitail for the 3rd time in a three or four weeks.She is in because she stopped taking her meds it is going to take months to get her back on track.She is no with it.She has bi-polar.

[Alysser]

Praying for all! :)

[zoey]

You all are in my thoughts and prayers...will think of you throughout the day tomorrow, too!

[cyber-sibes]

I'm praying for everyone's requests, may God grant you your highest good in all these situations. Please keep my husband in your prayers, his surgery is on Friday morning.

[Dorothy39]

I will continue to click onto "Prayer Requests"~~~~~

I've said a "Heart Felt" Prayer for everyone again this morning.

Never underestimate the Power of Prayer.

[anna_66]

Will be keeping you all in my prayers this morning.

[mustlovedogs]

Prayers and good thoughts for everyone that needs them...may God be with you in all of your times of need.


Please keep my grandfather in your thoughts. As many of you know, my grandmother passed away in October of last year as of cancer, and that made my grandfather very depressed. As of only a few days ago, he has a hospital bed in his living room...and is really going downhill. He fell out of his bed the other morning trying to get up...and cut his elbow wide open. :( All I ask is to keep him in your thoughts and prayers..things are NOT going good at all for him right now. I saw him lastnight, that's the best he's seemed to act in a while...except that he has lost alot of weight and is really skinny now. Thank you all so much for keeping us all in your prayers. You have such kind souls!!

I am frequently thinking of everyone...and praying that everything turns out ok! Many more prayers to come your way.

[gini]

A prayer has been said for your Grandfather. It is so painful to watch those you love decline.

[Almita]

For Sean Casey, he died a year ago. Today we are having a memorial at the school today at 7pm. He died this same day while riding his bike. A Drunk driver hitting him while the stop light was on red. Also Sean Casey was a VERY good friend of mine.

[Dorothy39]

Mustlovedogs:

I will keep your Grandfather in my Prayers!!!! Your request humbles me!!!




almita: Please know that so many members registered on Pet Talk understand your agony too.

I am holding you in my thoughts and Prayers!!!!

[mustlovedogs]

Thank you so much, gini and Dorothy39. My family and I REALLY appreciate your thoughts and prayers.

Many thoughts and prayers for you, Almita. :)

[cyber-sibes]

I'm keeping everyone's prayer requests in mind. I know there is a perfect answer to each one. Please keep us in mind, too, about a personal situation.

[Dorothy39]

Prayers and Postive Thoughts ~~~ I Prayer that everyone feels a Peaceful Blessing Today!!!!

[shais_mom]

please say a prayer for my dad - he is having a lot of back pain and his legs are going numb and its difficult for him to walk but he won't stop "going".
Thanks
after a very painful last week - my mom took my dad to the ER and they gave him a muscle relaxer and he felt almost instantly better. They think its his sciatic nerve. My mom and grandma have both had this it is quite common. But my mom never thought of it with him he has had so many back and spine problems in his life including back surgery (he rolled a semi in a ditch back in the late 70's) that we just assumed it was his spine.

http://www.spine-health.com/topics/cd/d_sciatica/sc01.html

he still is seeing a pain specialist on Friday and had an MRI yesterday so we'll see what happens then.
Thanks.

[Dorothy39]

OHHH, I feel so sorry for your Father. Back Pain can surface in so many different areas of the body.

I've had a bout with Sciatica myself, ( plus a herniated disc) :(

I'll pray that your Father doesn't over do it while feeling better on the medication!!!! So sorry too, that he has had to go through the dreaded fear, Back Surgery!!!!!! I'm so happy that the muscle relaxers help him!!!!

Prayers and Postive Thoughts for HIM!!!!!! {{{HUGS}}}} for YOU!!!!!

[shais_mom]

well hopefully he won't have to have surgery again - he had it back in the 70's
during the Blizzard of '78 actually! :)

[Logan]

Staci, your dad will be in my prayers. I'm sorry he is having such terrible pain.

Logan

[sumbirdy]

My uncle died Thursday September 21,from a brain tumor, please pray for the family. I will keep all of you in my prayers as well.

[Cinder & Smoke]

he felt almost instantly better.

They keep the Good Stuff in the ER.

Sure hope he starts Feelin Better, soon!

Send the BRD (Big Red Dog) over to give him a slurrpie Get Well *Kiss*!

[mustlovedogs]

Many, many prayers and thoughts for all of you that need them. You are all such strong people, and you all will make it through all of your situations! :)

[Alysser]

((HUGS)) and prayers for everyone.

I also need prayers. I don't want to say why but please just keep me in your prayers. :(

[Dorothy39]

Bless Your Heart!!!

Of course, I'll pray , without a specific request~~~There is no need to spell out a request~~~ my friend.

Hoping and Praying that that any crisis you are feeling will diminish.

[dukedogsmom]

I'm here for support for all that need it, too. PT prayers seem to be working for Duke, which is great!

[Flatcoatluver]

I've never came to this thread before, so it kind of feels a little different. But can I request a prayer?

My great grandma who is now 92.. is in the hospital. For some reason everytime I ask my parents whats wrong with my grandma, my parents change the subject. Please can I request a prayer requst. It's eating me up inside and I feel like I can't do anything to help.

[catmandu]

A Prayer For The Found Cat Hotel.
We Have Lost 4 Of Our Members In The Last Year Alone.
Please Pray That The Angel Of Death Stays Away From Michael And Princess.
We Will Pray For You Too.

Elderly parents, failing health, lots of stress...pray for a solution.

[Dorothy39]

Flatcoatluver~~~~Prayers Help Me Fall To Sleep at Night.
especially "Badly Needed Prayers" ( not those for me, but, for some one else)

I will certainly say a silent prayer for you and your 92 year old Grand Father. ( can you go and see him?)

catmandu~~~~

I will Pray that "The Angel of Death" does not consider a need for Michael or Princess. Death has visited you and yours too often already. Yes, I will pray that all goes well.

Maltese_Love:

Never feel that a Prayer Request is "overloaded". I have thought of you and your family. And, I will surely Pray for Happier Times , Just over the Horizon!!!!!!
I think I will sleep well tonight!!!!

[gini]

This family of Pet Talkers - prayers for all of you and your extended families who need prayers right now.

May all have peace and good health.

[shais_mom]

well I just got off the phone to my mom and they had left the drs office. Looks like around the first of November my dad is facing major back surgery with a large incision, rods and pins in his spine, and about 3-4 days in the hospital with a legnthy recovery time. He sees the dr again in 3 weeks to set up an appt.

[Cataholic]

My brother-in-law's nephew, Dave, was brutally beaten in August, and left for dead by a dumpster. He is still in a coma. Dave is 21 years old. He has just been moved from the ICU to a rehab center, and is listed in serious, but stable, condition. No idea why this happened, and of course, the reasons don't matter, do they?

Dave, and his family could use the special magic of PT.

Thanks,
Johanna

:(

We'll talk to God tanite at Prayer Time about Dave.
Our Candilz are lighted.

/s/ the Prayer Pups

[gini]

Our little community - how could we have so much suffering to share? But we do - and we also have much joy - new babies - new pets - and good outcomes on surgeries. I guess it is just "life".

It seems so little to say "prayers will be offered" - but lots of them will be offered and intently for each one.

[Cinder & Smoke]

:eek:
:(

Maybe it's time to get a Second Opinion.
Two heads are better than one ...
There just might be another way to Fix Him Up.

I'll have the Prayer Pups mention your Dad to their Buddie Upstairs tonight at Prayer Tyme. ;)

Meanwhile, tell Dad we're ALL Praying for him.

{{{Hugs}}}

[gini]

You know, Phred, that is exactly what I emailed Staci. It just seems as though there is a rush to surgery as the solution.

My brother went through a lot of pain a few years ago and the Dr. was all hot for surgery. In the end - he opted out on the surgery - and with care has been fine since.

I am all for a second opinion too.

[cyber-sibes]

Staci, we sure will keep your dad in our prayers. ;)
Dave & his family will also be in our prayers. I can't imagine how much pain this is causing his family.
:mad: I hope they catch whoever did this horrendous thing and punish them severely. :mad:

[Alysser]

Thanks for the prayers! They worked. :) ((HUGS)) to all and prayers from me on the way.

[Alysser]

URGENT prayers for Star. She seems she is having trouble breathing.

[shais_mom]

My neighbor mentioned to me the other day he was "saving" a dalmation from going to the pound. He really doesn't want her but didn't want to see her go to the pound. He isn't the best dog owner but I suppose his intentions are good.
I mentioned this at work and my boss' aunt wants this dog.
Please pray that we can get this 5-6 month old dalmation out of the home she's in - I don't think she's being abused - just doesn't have time for her. And make the connections so that this dog can have a fabulous home with my boss' aunt.
Thanks

[Alysser]

Star is okay now.

[cyber-sibes]

Need a little prayer nudge -
My husband is waiting (and waiting and waiting) to hear about a new job he interviewed for. It seems like it's a go, but somewhere along the line, "paperwork" has gotten bogged down because someone was off on vacation. He won't know for sure till that person moves things along. (the interviewers can't tell him yes or no till it's official) Could you please say a little prayer that 1) I develop alot more patience NOW :p and 2) we hear one way or the other soon. He's hoping it's yes, but it would be nice to know either way. Thanks, I'm praying for all of your requests, too!

[Dorothy39]

I'll keep you in my Postive Thoughts and Prayers tonight, Cyber_Sibes!!! Praying that you find the patience , of course , and that all will come out in the Wash!!!

and, I'll pray too, for that Dalmation to have a warm and wonderful home soon!!!!!

[Zippy]

Prayers for Donna that everthing works out ok.

[lizbud]

I would like to ask for prayers for my feral cat, Momma Kitty. She has
an injury to one paw & I'm trying to get her into the humane trap for a
needed trip to the Vets.She is not cooperating at all. :( Better yet would
be if she didn't have to stressed at all & the limp would heal itself.
Thank you so much.Liz.

[mustlovedogs]

MANY prayers and good thoughts for everyone that needs them. We will continuosly be thinking of you! :)

Please, I need to request some prayers.

Like I've posted before, my grandpa REALLY needs prayers. He especially needs them now-he is doing very poorly...probably the worst he's ever been.

Also, can I please ask for prayers for my friend?

My friend just told me a few days ago that he is in the VERY early stages of a cancer. Please be thinking of him!

Thank you SO much everyone, for the prayers and the thoughts. My friends, family and I really appreciate your thinking of us. Thank you so much again! :)

Like I said, many prayers and good thoughts for everyone that needs them! :)

[sandragonfly]

we've been homeless for a week now just because I fought what's right for my dog and going school full-time, half of quarter is over already. I want to but can't say much here, sorry.

prayers for everyone, still.

[pitc9]

You are in my prayers!

[krazykitties]

my brother needs a liver transplant so I was happy to find this thread. he is also on kidney dialysis because of the liver problem. he is in the hospitol and will be there till he gets the liver, he is now at the top of the list. he could really use all the prayers possible.

[Catty1]

KK, I hope your brother gets his transplant soon, and is free of the dialysis machine. For cyberside's husband - for Gina, MLD's granpa and friend.

For Donna, as she moves ahead in her life.

I ask a prayer for Joanne, a lady I know from church. She is tall, black-haired, vivacious, has a great job and terrific daughter - and her boyfriend, a wonderful community-builder, Yoga instructor, cyclist and bike shop owner was found dead beside his bike last Thursday.

He was going to be seeking help for a weird heart condition...but he collapsed. He was only 48 years old.

Prayers for Joanne and all who knew and loved Trevor. This is a huge, huge shock to many.

Thanks.

[krazykitties]

what a shock! what a terribe thing to have happen. prayers for her and for everyone on here that needs them.

[shais_mom]

details when I get my computer back up and running but this worked out and this beautiful pup went to a WONDERFUL home and has 3 other dalmation siblings! :)

[gini]

God love you Staci for being the instrument for getting this beautiful pup a good forever home.

Your Guardian Angel is wearing black and white spots today and is jumping up and down - flying around - telling everyone!! :D

[cyber-sibes]

her boyfriend... was found dead beside his bike last Thursday. He was going to be seeking help for a weird heart condition...but he collapsed. He was only 48 years old.Prayers for Joanne and all who knew and loved Trevor. This is a huge, huge shock to many. Thanks.
Prayers going out for Joanne and Trevor's family & friends. I'm so sorry to hear he didn't get help for this sooner... The surgery my husband had recently was for this type of weird heart condition that puts them at risk of "sudden death" syndrome. Don't know if it's the same, but sounds similar. Trevor was far too young :( Rest in Peace, Trevor.

[Catty1]

Thanks, cyber-sides.

One of Trevor's brothers spoke today - he was the only family member to know about Trev's medical problems, as Trev did not want his parents to be worried. Both parents are alive and healthy and in their 90's!

It was the kind of heart condition where one half beats too fast and the other part does 'nothing', if that makes any sense.

All went well today....the place was full - though an Anglican(Episcopalian) service, there were Gaelic elements, and several Buddhist rites.

I got to sing and play piano. Joanne had requested me - and I told my boss I was going to be there. No way I wasn't going to be.

Trevor was very loved - his brothers from down east were amazed to hear from others about Trevor, and what an impact he had on everyone.

They are having a memorial in Ontario next week for the parents, and the friends there. I hope the brothers' account of what they heard here will comfort the parents somewhat - that he was so loved!

Enough outta me - may everyone's prayers come true! :)

[BitsyNaceyDog]

This seems so minuscule compared to other's prayer requests, but I would appreciate it if some of you could keep my sister in your prayers. My sister, Kati, leaves on Monday for a mission trip to Honduras.

Thank you.

[Karen]

Prayers, please everyone! Jenny (Lady's Other Human) had her gall bladder taken out Monday, and things seemed fine, but very early this morning she was taken to the hospital in severe abdominal pain.

Talked to Lady's Human an hour ago, he said so far all they know is "the bloodwork looks normal," so big prayers for Jenn to be okay please everyone!

[Dorothy39]

Big Prayers for everyone here!!!!

[Catty1]

Prayers for everyone!

[RedHedd]

Uh oh LOH Prayers going out your way for a speedy recovery!

[gini]

This is the first I have been on Pet Talk all day.

You can be sure you have my prayers that Jenny is alright and out of pain.

[Cinder & Smoke]

Hey GOD ~

Hate ta *bother* Ya - but are Ya "ON" this wun?




Jenny (Lady's Other Human) had her gall bladder taken out Monday,
and things seemed fine,
but very early this morning she was taken to the hospital in severe abdominal pain.

Iffin You kan, God, how bout *hopppin* onna Silvur Klowd Express an Come On Down
ta Check Her Out.

Meanwhile, we'll round up sum Prayers an send em UP -
so'z Ya know she's Important.

THANKS, God!!

/s/ the Prayer Pups[/i]

[Lady's Human]

Thanks for the prayers, guys.

As of this morning, they still don't know what's causing her pain, "Blood work is normal" :rolleyes: (Ummm, guys, maybe ya might think about looking at something else?)

Sorry, I'm in a lousy mood.

[Cinder & Smoke]

... they still don't know what's causing her pain ...

"Blood work is normal ..." http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/rolleyes.gif

I've heard that "Blood work is normal" line a time or two myself. http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/rolleyes.gif http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/mad.gif

Since the PROPER "Blood work" *IS* a good indicator of many illnesses ...
that "Blood work is normal" statement often indicates that the correct test just hasn't been run -
and when that correct test is finally ordered - the cause of the mystery illness or pain
may become known.

Time to Chat with the Docs to encourage them to explore a bit deeper -
order some DIFFERENT Tests to look for a problem that might be bit less common.

Prayers Offered for Jenny (Lady's Other Human)!!

http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/wink.gif

[dukedogsmom]

Please pray for my Brian. It's pretty serious and I'm sick that I'm so far away and can't even go see him. Can't sleep good and it's very hard to work.

[cyber-sibes]

Read through and am praying for of all of you.

Let's keep Phred in our prayers, too. He has a major heart test on Monday. (((hugs))) to you, Phred. We'll be sending you angels and prayers!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Lots of prayers for you all!!!

Update on Jen:

They found what was wrong, and she's going back into sir-jury tomorrow so they can fix it. I'm relieved that they found it, but to make a long story short, they screwed up. :mad:

Yikes! Hope that the :o docs take extra care to rectify the problem and that they don't have the nerve to charge for *additional services*.

[gini]

We are right there with you - upset and just praying that they repair properly what was not done correctly the first time.

Sadly, this is not the first time I have heard this type of story.................

Raise hell - make noise - this is the mother of your two children your sidekick.

But in the meantime, a big hug of support for you - from, I know, ALL of us!

[Lady's Human]

I'm not sure what I'm more pissed about.....

The fact that Jen is in pain because some idiot with a scalpel screwed up? :mad:


Or the fact that I get to start talking with lawyers as soon as Jen is home and well?

[slick]

I'm not sure what I'm more pissed about.....The fact that Jen is in pain because some idiot with a scalpel screwed up? :mad: Or the fact that I get to start talking with lawyers as soon as Jen is home and well? I've posted in the Dog House but wanted to post my prayers here as well. I know what it's like to go through pain and it's not phun. Good luck with the lawyers.....sue the bastards...as they say.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

For all who needs prayers here, you can count on mine!! :)

[dukedogsmom]

:( Very sad today. At work and it's really busy. Can't wait for my day off tomorrow.

And, for anyone else that needs help, I'm here. Pm me. Maybe we can help each other.

[Lady's Human]

Figured I'd update here as well:

Jen had surgery yesterday, and it appears all went well. They are going to let her have breakfast this morning (She hasn't been allowed to eat since Sunday evening). They have more tests scheduled for tomorrow, and if all goes well she'll be released tomorrow afternoon.

[Logan]

I hope Jen had a good night and will be fit to head home, soon!!! :) Our prayers continue for her.

I went back a ways on this thread. I'm so sorry that I have failed to keep up with it. Val, Maltese Love, and everyone else, your needs are important and I will definitely ask God to be with each of you.

Prayers for my aunt she is back in the hosptial for the 3rd time(she is bi-polar and stopped taking her meds)she has been off them for 8-10 months we didn't know.She stops taking her meds ever few years or so.Now it is going to take a while to get her stable(sp?)agian

[dukedogsmom]

Making an emergency flight to see Brian. I leave tomorrow afternoon. Got to board my sweet critters. Kills me to do so but no one is going to be here. Pray for an unevenful flight and maybe even a miracle or two.

[shais_mom]

I'd like to ask for prayers for a nurse/friend at work. Her husband was admitted into the hospital today after having battling quite stoicly for a couple months with abdominal pain. Today he went to the drs office and could barely walk. :( He is a sheriff's deputy so normally is fit and trim and slightly robust. He has lost 40 pounds since this started and there is nothing to him and his face is just gaunt. He had to wrap the drawstring of the shorts around his waist twice. :(
He is the father of 3 small children ages 1-5. He has horrible coloring. I am not sure they have figured out the source of the problem yet. He and his wife have been through a lot with her having several miscarriages and then they lost an infant at only 1 day old from her having an infection all thru her blood. He is only 36 years old. Both he and his wife come from well liked families in the county and have a strong family network. They also happen to be the couple that has Keegan's daddy. I like to joke they are her grandparents. ;)
Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Thanks!

[Catty1]

Prayers for that poor man and his family. I wish some men would realize that 'toughing it out' just makes it worse for them AND those they love.

Praying that whatever it is was caught in time.

Also, prayers for - I don't have the name right - Dukelovesdogs? Valerie. I don't know the case with her friend Brian, but I pray everything works out all right.

[shais_mom]

Making an emergency flight to see Brian. I leave tomorrow afternoon. Got to board my sweet critters. Kills me to do so but no one is going to be here. Pray for an unevenful flight and maybe even a miracle or two.

[Lady's Human]

Update for everyone:

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the prayers.

Jen is home, and now has a guardian angel bear watching over her (Who has specific orders to BITE certain docs).

She is under husbands orders to be a lump on the couch, and not to do anything.

She's feeling better, but still has one more visit with sir-jury before this is over.

[Dorothy39]

I will most certainly say my Earnest Prayers for everyone !!!

I am always thinking about the people on this Prayer Thread~ Feeling so Humble~ while I sit and read the posts on my monitor!! :o

If all I can do is Pray~~~ I will Pray with all my Might!!!!

[cyber-sibes]

Well, I'm back to repeat a request - my hubs is getting mixed messages about the job he interviewed for - the people act like he's been hired but something's holding up the paperwork - we just learned that they have to offer it "in house" so to speak, to see if anyone else wants it before they actually hire him...please keep those PT prayers going that we get confirmation that he got the job SOON! Thanks y'all.
:) Keeping your requests in my daily prayers too!

[Dorothy39]

Prayers and Positive Hopes that THIS job opportunity will be in HIS future!!!

[Lady'sOtherHuman]

Prayers, please everyone! Jenny (Lady's Other Human) had her gall bladder taken out Monday, and things seemed fine, but very early this morning she was taken to the hospital in severe abdominal pain.

Talked to Lady's Human an hour ago, he said so far all they know is "the bloodwork looks normal," so big prayers for Jenn to be okay please everyone!

Hi everyone! Sorry it's taken so long to respond. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! to everyone for the prayers and well wishes. A special thanks to the Mayor for sending my Angel Bear to me. She was there when I got home last Wednesday. Recovery is going well and I am allowed to get off the couch now. The kids are very happy to have me home as is Fred and Lady. The first two days I had to sleep on the reclining part of the couch and I got lots of cuddles from my kitties to help me get better. In three weeks I have to go back so they can take the shunt out so please continue to keep me in your prayers that, that part of the surgery goes well too.

[RedHedd]

PT prayers work magic. I'm having a minor hernia repair surgery tomorrow. It's an in & out thing - surgery @ 8:00 a.m. and my friend comes to pick me up at 11:30 a.m. Just hold a good thought. I should be fine and will report in when it's over. Thanks! Georgia

[gini]

Georgia, prayers will be offered for you - that all goes well.

[Kfamr]

I've been thinking of everyone who's posted in this thread or in a seperate.

I have a few to as for myself, if you don't mind?

First, my uncle. He is an alcoholic. We got a call from him the other day that he is checking himself into a rehab. He called to ask for us to think good thoughts for him, so I want to extend his wish all over the world. We hope that this is the last of his alcoholism. Please pray, think of, whatever you choose for Uncle Marty.


Secondly, my co-worker Selena. She is a wonderful, wonderful single mom. She has always been so strong-willed and has herself and her child set. She's always been willing to help someone else out wether it be financially or just with advice. Now, her grandmother is in very bad condition, lives in a different state, and Selena is torn over it. I've known her for about a year and a half and have NEVER seen her cry. This week she's been doing it almost non-stop at work.

Please have the both of them in your thoughts.

[cyber-sibes]

Kay, sending prayers & good vibes for your Uncle Marty. Your Uncle stands a good chance of recovery with going into a rehab, will keep praying he's hit his bottom ad won't have to keep living in alcoholic hell.
May Selena find peace regarding her grandmother. It's so hard to be far away from someone you love when they're suffering. Your friendship and support must give her a lot of comfort.
Keeping all these prayer requests in mind. :)

[Alysser]

Sending good thoughts and vibes to everyone who needs them!

I need them agian to, with my parents agian. I'm sure they'll get over this silly little fight they had but I just need the good vibes now.

[borzoimom]

yes I do, and God bless you. I am having surgery next week, and I am nervous but I trust God in prayer..

[Dorothy39]

I am Praying for everyone who posts on this thread~

Lord Please

Take Care of the People whom I Pray for~as I trust in your and know that you Love them very much.

[borzoimom]

yes I have one- and posted a prayer in dog general for kater and her dog that is having hip surgery tomorrow. ... Please put it in prayer. Under surgery tomorrow...

[Kater]

Thank you, borzoimom for that request. I really appreciate that! :)

Could I also ask for prayers for my father, again? He is immunocomprimised, has CLL, and has been fighting an infection for weeks now. His white blood cell count is very very low and he has been on three different oral antibiotics to no avail. We are hoping that the doctors will take a more aggressive approach, because he is just continuing to weaken. It is very hard for us to see him like this. :(

I check this thread when I can and all PTers and family/friends mentioned here remain in my prayers.

Thank you. :)

[borzoimom]

Please put my older dog hottie in prayer. I posted on dog general. He has been lame since yesterday evening..

[trayi52]

I would like to ask for the prayers of everyone here for my little nephew, who is about six weeks old. He has been in Vanderbilt Hospital, and a very sick little boy. His name is Richard Dwight Jr. He coded twice on them, and now he will be having surgery tomorrow sometime. Please pray that this small little boy gets through the surgery with no problem and is restored back to his good health. Pray for the surgeons that are doing the surgery too, and his poor mother and Daddy.

I know prayers work, because it says so in the Bible.

Willie

[Alysser]

Willie, I'm sorry to hear about you nephew. I will definately keep you in my prayers, along with anyone else who needs them.

[Logan]

My prayers continue for everyone who has posted.

Willie, I do hope your little nephew is going to be ok.

Logan

[dukedogsmom]

I'm being ripped apart by what's happened to Brian. Pray for him more than me. It's so hard to be strong right now and I've got to for him.

[Logan]

Val, I don't know what is going on with Brian, but I assume you have been out there already. He will be in my prayers.

Logan

[NoahsMommy]

The power of PT Prayer is amazing...and I really need that right about now. :(

Long story short...I've been in a HUGE amount of severe pain lately and I'm having a hard time with my doctors. My Cedars doctors do not feel my pain is crohn's related (even though it all began at the same time, is in my abdoman and is effected by stress, eating, going to the potty, etc.) and thus don't feel the need to treat me.

My current pain doctor is becoming horrible. My meds aren't working and he made me wait 2 weeks for new ones. As a result I had to stay at Cedars for a week. When I finally got home and got the new meds (it was a trial period), I called for them to fill enough until my next appt on 11/10. I told the girl on the phone the dose that I was taking, the dose that was WORKING. I ended up in the ER again last night and found that the doctor LOWERED my dose from the initial trial period!!! I didn't look at the bottle because I had thought the doctor would have listened to me telling him what works!!!'

I went down to Cedars Pain Mgmt Center and my doc basically brushed me off. I'm trying to get into a Chronic Pain Managment Program at the Daniel Freeman Hospital where they'll take me off my meds and then start again, thus lowering my high tolerance and will help them work again, with fewer meds. I've been calling over there sinse Friday at 2:30 and the coordinator FINALLY called me while I was in my therapy session. I called him back not 5 minutes later (and again every 1/2 hour until 5:00p) and couldn't reach him.

I'm thinking things and acting in ways I don't normally act. This constant pain and the frustration have me not wanting to live any more. I've NEVER, EVER, EVER felt this way, but I'm just as a loss. I've done everything I'm supposed to do, and more and I'm not getting the help I need and deserve.

Last night the ER doc sent me home...I was still (and still am) in a ton of pain. He let me go home becuase Cedars told him it wasn't Crohn's related and its not life threatening. Meanwhile I'm in excrutating pain and want to off myself to make it stop, to get peace. I know that's not the answer, but I can only take so much. :(

Thankfully, I've found a really, really wonderful therapist and saw a psychiatrist today who prescribed some meds to help calm me down. I just hate that this is changing who I am.

I'm not getting support from my mother, in fact, its getting much worse and she's being mean and horrible. I have nowhere else to go, so if I bring anything up or disagree with her, she'll kick me out.

I really, really, really need prayers. I feel as though God is ignoring me. I've been praying so hard for the past 2 months and things just keep getting worse for me. I'm trying hard to keep my faith, but I feel ignored and not cared about. I know in my heart and head that's not the case, but I just don't get it.

Thanks for listening and for the prayers.

Hugs, Kelly

[Logan]

Maybe there is a reason for me being up at this late hour, Kelly.

I wish I had an easy answer for you, my friend. My heart aches, just knowing what you are dealing with, right now, and have been for so long.

Please know that you are loved and your life and YOU are valuable to us. I know you are in a bad place right now, but don't give up on your faith and don't give up on life. PLEASE!!!!

There has got to be an answer for you, and a resolution to your pain. Hang in there and if you need to talk, I think you know how to reach me. I hope you do.

Love,
Logan

[Alysser]

LOL, my last post was really useless because my parents got over it in like 15 minutes. :o Thank you guys!

Can you please spare another good thought for me? I got a bad grade on a math quiz and now I have a math test tommorow. If I pass it I'll be fine and at the same grade I was. Can you please spare a thought for me tonight or tommorow? I'm really nervous! Of course, I'll study and I am doing so right now, but just wish me luck. Thanks!

Willie, is there any update on your nephew yet?

[Rachel]

I've read the recent entries in this thread and please know that I will have you all in my prayers. Kelly, my heart goes out to you because I know how long you have been fighting for some resolution and how very discouraging it can be to have your situation minimized by the very people you rely on to help you. I pray that you will find a doctor who can zero in on what will help your situation. There has to be something that will help you, if not today, then tomorrow.

[kittykatsmoocher]

Yes, for my mom. She was diagnosed with breast cancer recently. But it was in the early stages. Now, she has to have Kemo and has already had to. Last Saturday, she had a brain scan. They found something but they highly doubt its a brian tumor. I'm really worried.

Hello this is kittykatsmoocher I will definatley be in prayer for your mom.I will totally agree with you in prayer :) I will also let my mom know to prayer for you mom.Here is my e mail adress if you would like to contact me :) It's [email protected]

[kittykatsmoocher]

I was just thinking we could try having a "prayer request" thread. This way pt members can be praying for the loved ones of other pt members. I often times miss prayer requests. If any of you have prayer requests please share; this way we can have more power through prayer.

***Should this be in the Dog House?***

I think that is a wonderful,awesome idea!! :D I am a 13 year old girl and deep in the lord!! :p So right on to that!! :D :D

[slick]

I'm on the phone with Kelly right now and she needs our prayers more than anything. She's still in pain and it's very frustrating that she can't seem to get any relief. Please, let's all pray for a miracle and that this new doctor she will see on Monday with give her the pain relief and peace that she so desperately needs. Thanks and Amen.

Also, please send out many many prayers for Tim and the family. The loss of dear Corinna has hit all of us so very hard. RIP Corinna.

[Logan]

Thank you for that update, Slick. I have had her on my mind since I saw her message earlier this week.

Logan

[NoahsMommy]

Slick, Logan, & Rachel....

Thank you so very much for your concern and your prayers. After Slick and I got off the phone I prayed to God and I actually felt Him listening to me, I feel Him with me now even. :)

I'm just so afraid that this doctor on Monday wont help, but I have to trust God that everything will work out.

Thank you again...and please keep me in your prayers. They really, truly help.

Love you,
Kelly :)

[gini]

Dear Kelly, you have always had my prayers...........and I will continue to pray for you as long as you need them.

[Dorothy39]

I am saying Prayers tonite , certain that there will be a solution for all of the Pain and Agony~ I trust in Prayer that much!!!


Since being devasted by the loss of our Corinna~ My Heart has been filled with Prayers for her family.

[Alysser]

I'll be keeping everyone in my prayers today.



Btw, I got an 83 on my math test! :D

[dukedogsmom]

There are a few of you that know what's going on with Brian. Now Duke needs your prayers, too. The last few days he's had a bad cough. I'm at the vet and he said his lungs have something in them. He said it could either be a little pneumonia, though he's not wheezing, just panting a lot, or cancer :( Bloodwork is being sent out and I should find out tomorrow afternoon. I don't know how much more I can take. The two most special things in my life seem to be slipping away.

[borzoimom]

Thank you for all your prayers on my first of two surgeries. I feel better now than I have in a year!! God Bless you all!

[caseysmom]

Gosh Val I don't know what to say I am so sorry. I am praying for Duke and Brian.

[wolflady]

If you all don't mind, I could use some prayers. I'm in a difficult spot in my life right now. My husband and I have separated, and are seeking therapy to find out if we want to try and salvage our relationship, or make a break. I feel so lost and confused and have sunk into depression, finding it hard to get up everyday because all I feel is dread. I don't feel like there's really anything for me to get up for, but I do anyway and get through the day by keeping busy.

I hate to burden others with my issues, when there are so many other people who need the prayers more than I.

**hugs**

[borzoimom]

I sent you a pm and yes - you and your situation are in my prayers..

[gini]

Dear Karen, if I had a problem and needed some prayers - would you think that I was burdening you with my problems? I don't think so.

You have my prayers as well as all others who have posted on this thread.

xxoo gini

[Cinder & Smoke]

... when there are so many other people who need the prayers more than I.


Oh, NOT so!

We can always spare a Prayer or two!

Prayers don't take much time to send ...
and they last almost Fur-Ever!
;)

See - we just sent one!
:)

[Dorothy39]

Dukedogsmom: I know that your poor Duke has been through so much , and , YES, I will Pray for him~ and for You as well~


WolfLady: Never feel , for one moment, that your not worthy of Positive Thoughts and Prayers~May You and Your husband find the Peace and Tranquility you are Desperately Searching for~ yes, I will keep you in my thoughts and My Prayers tonite~ Your request is very deserving of Praise and Prayer~

[Ginger's Mom]

I have been jumping on and off Pet Talk so quickly that I haven't been checking this thread. I am glad that I did today. Val, I am so sorry to hear that you are going through so much with Duke again. I will pray that it is something simple and easy to fix. Karen, I don't know you very well, but you have always been such a sweet lady. Of course you deserve peace of mind and happiness, I will keep you in my prayers.

[krazyaboutkatz]

Although I don't always reply to this thead, I want everyone to know that I always say prayers for everyone here on PT every night before I go to bed. Val and Karen you are both added to my prayer list. I sure hope that everything will work out for both of you. (((HUGS)))

[cyber-sibes]

My husband and I have separated, and are seeking therapy to find out if we want to try and salvage our relationship, or make a break. I feel so lost and confused and have sunk into depression, finding it hard to get up everyday because all I feel is dread...Wolflady, as they say, "been there, done that", you are not alone. Know that prayers are winging their way at this moment, I hope you both find happiness. Have you talked with anyone re: depression? There's good medical resources available to help you, and it's well worth getting some professional help. Don't feel that yo have to remain feeling trapped. My whole life changed once I dealt with my depression.

Prayers continuing for everyone's requests here, God is never too busy to listen to one more request!

[Catty1]

I am not here often...but I read through, and everyone's pain deserves prayer, and is very worthy of relief....maybe I didn't say this right, but never feel you don't deserve prayer!

Everyone here is getting prayer from me.

[caseysmom]

Wolflady, I am sorry you are feeling this way. You are worthy and I hope you start enjoying life again. You live in a beautiful part of our country.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Even though I don't post here often, you are all always in my prayers. Everyone is worthy of prayers!!!

[sandragonfly]

amen, momfuzzes! I check this everyday, sometimes I feel bad enough to not post thoughts for you.

I don't know how but every prayer request I saw, automatically stays in my thoughts until I hear the next good news! so, I've been thinking of you, off top of my head now, little trooper sammy, dr. goodnow phred, cybersibes' jojoe, kelly, few others and especially you, malteselove, dukedogsmom, lv4dogs, luckies4me and corinna's family. plus few who didn't post in here, through PMs.

I hate to think what all of you're going through now. :( but I'll always remember it's for a reason, you never can be on top of the mountain for too long (a perfect life) and I'll always be here if you need me.

hugs to all.

I put in prayer request but deleted it because I went back and thought I did it wrong and it was supose to be for certain people or just wasn't sure about what I was supose to do.Now I know from reading more and wish I left it in.
So again...I will ask you to Pray for my mom and my little brothers soul.They died too early.Maybe not my mom but as I was told from others(And I thought so too)...she was a saint.My little brother died in an accident at 29 years old a couple months before the 9/11 attack.I was too shocked and grief stricken about my little brother(still am)to freak out totally about 9/11.I felt as thgough I lost my own kid because I did a lot of the parenting while he was an infant and until he went to school.My mom worked double shifts daily to feed us.

She will have a surgery to remove the malignant tumor from her lung next monday...

Please pray that God will provide her with all the strengths she needs to endure the surgery, and a speedy recovery afterward. Please also pray for her courage & determination to continue to fight the gruelsome battle with cancers.

My heart aches with going to so many funerals lately. The most recent deaths were King, and S.O.'s grandmother, and a friend of my parents'.

Just tonight a friend (through another internet site) out in CA announced to the board that was probably going to be her last post. Cancer is taking her life and she is in the final stages of the kind she has.

I'd glad she at least said goodbye to us, but i'm sad i never got to meet her in person.

We shared so many stories and emails through recent years it almost feels like she's an Aunt to me.

Please say prayers for her last days to be comfortable, and for her friends and family's ease of heart.

[sandragonfly]

everyone, everyone is in my prayers and will be thinking of you all.

it'd be great if you could lit a candle for ron too here (http://virtual-candle.org/index.php). (and you can see the current page of latest candles here (http://virtual-candle.org/showcurrent.php)). he'd appreciate this a lot, he gets inspired easily.

[borzoimom]

My worst fears realized. Not even 1/4 into the surgery, they hit a major problem. Not to get into perticulars- but they had to abort the procedure. I have a week to heal. Then instead of 3-5 days in the hospital will be a week or a little longer. Meanwhile I have to watch for internal bleeding problems.
I am depressed.. I knew something was wrong when I woke up, and the doctor was sitting there at a chair next to the bed. At the news of what it is, I started to cry..
WHY AM I ALWAYS the "remote possiblity"???? This is now the 3rd time a "remote possiblity" has come true. When I tore up my knee after the break healed they said blah blah " and a remote possiblity the maniscus ( spelling) is so badly torn, you will wake up with a cast .. I did!. When I broke my leg last year- they said well you will have a 2-4 inch metal plate and about 4 screws in your leg, ITS A REMOTE CHANCE MORE- BUT WE DOUBT IT" - I woke up to " there is more hardward than we anticipated in your leg- its over 6 inches long with 14 screws, and two screws in the ankle itsself attaching the fibula... When I got pregnant with my daughter- " there is only a remote chance you will carry full term"- SHE WAS 3 WEEKS LATE AND CARRIED FINE.. ( ONLY POSITIVE 'REMOTE CHANCE" I CAN THINK OF..)
NOW- I am more worried and scared.. I understand they cant know all things- but that ray of hope I never would have thought of, held onto, got dashed to pieces. I can even see the fear on my husbands face...
Well- darnit ( sorry to curse) I have been saying for over a year how I feel.. Just like I did with my leg, or my knee- Doctors must think people are hypocondriacs ( spelling?).. Well- I AM NOT.. A normall active woman goes into a shell for months unable to do jack beans- even housework is a major adventure- and there isnt a problem???
You know the joke of this? Zubin is one of two therapy dogs I have that works with children with cancer- somehow he knows when things are turning. He gets silly with a child that is " not doing well", then presses his head in a childs lap " that is progressing"- only to slip suddenly out of no where into a more serious situation. He has been putting his head in my lap for months now. Pressing- like he knows something is progressing with his mother. Well ZUBIN WAS THE ONLY ONE RIGHT HERE.. I am not bashing my doctor- he is one of the top in the whole Northern Va. area and my hospital is one of the top 100 in the country- ( award and all!) so they know.. and I know they cant see all things in a ultrasound- but I would rather not have the hope, and given the worse case as " how it is" and anything else would feel like a blessing and not "dashed hopes".
I am sorry to vent- I am just upset, depressed, and now more worried. I am placing this in Gods' hand as He knows what is best for me in the future and the best way to remedy the ailment. It is terribly hard thought not to feel confused and scared..
This pet talk has been a God sent. It lets me think of anything else other than what is in my face 24/7.. I want to thank you all for your wonderful support. I have gotten so many positive wonderful pm's and I really do appreciate it.. Really!

I knew something was wrong when I woke up, and the doctor was sitting there at a chair next to the bed. ... and the good news is that you did wake up! Better than the alternative, yes? (I'm trying to be light-hearted here ;) ) Doctors are pretty much "body mechanics", and they aren't perfect or all-knowing. Could be they didn't know what was really wrong till they got in there. It sounds like you are in good hands at a good place. Just try to take it one day at a time, God will give you the strength for today...everyday. So you have your computer with you? That's cool! :cool:

Yea I am home now for now. but I just wanted this done. And now fear is getting the better of me.. Stupid huh..

[cyber-sibes]

Yea I am home now for now. Oh, I thought you were still in the hospital. I know how much "trouble" my husband and Phred got into when they used their cell phones in the hospital - figured you must be hiding your laptop under the sheets!

Thats a good idea though... lol.. I will remember that.. lol.. (no laughing now..)

[catfamily]

My worst fears realized. Not even 1/4 into the surgery, they hit a major problem. Not to get into perticulars- but they had to abort the procedure. I have a week to heal. Then instead of 3-5 days in the hospital will be a week or a little longer. Meanwhile I have to watch for internal bleeding problems.
I am depressed.. I knew something was wrong when I woke up, and the doctor was sitting there at a chair next to the bed. At the news of what it is, I started to cry..
WHY AM I ALWAYS the "remote possiblity"???? This is now the 3rd time a "remote possiblity" has come true. When I tore up my knee after the break healed they said blah blah " and a remote possiblity the maniscus ( spelling) is so badly torn, you will wake up with a cast .. I did!. When I broke my leg last year- they said well you will have a 2-4 inch metal plate and about 4 screws in your leg, ITS A REMOTE CHANCE MORE- BUT WE DOUBT IT" - I woke up to " there is more hardward than we anticipated in your leg- its over 6 inches long with 14 screws, and two screws in the ankle itsself attaching the fibula... When I got pregnant with my daughter- " there is only a remote chance you will carry full term"- SHE WAS 3 WEEKS LATE AND CARRIED FINE.. ( ONLY POSITIVE 'REMOTE CHANCE" I CAN THINK OF..)
NOW- I am more worried and scared.. I understand they cant know all things- but that ray of hope I never would have thought of, held onto, got dashed to pieces. I can even see the fear on my husbands face...

I'm so sorry for all you went through.I'm putting in extra prayers for you.I went through some major surgerys and they cut my organs up by mistake.The worst being my bowels.I needed major bowel repair.I'm glad to be alive.
I'm glad your alive.
And...I'm with you...Doctors DO think most people are hypocondraics.I can understand that but when all turns out true with what the patient says and they still give you that look...it's very sad for us.It hurts emotionally.
We as people know our bodys.
I hope you get well through all this and the future brings much good health and happiness for you.
Prayers for you from us in Maine.

I just got a call. They got enough into this, to prevent infection they have to wait until jan 3rd. The holidays and staffing at the hospital is not helping to move this up. At holidays, with short staffing etc they say they do not do surgeries that can wait. That doesnt stop an emergency, but I would not have my doctor. At this point, I would rather the same one as I have been through ENOUGH.. ( mutter mutter....kicking dirt clods- mutter mutter....) Meanwhile I feel like- "more hurry up and wait???" .. I know he has a right to a vacation.. but.. I am still muttering. .. They tried for the 14th. No go- too booked. I am wondering if they could move someone that could wait.. I suggested as they " quote look into the matter" as I need to cover my recovery with someone that can here. My husband is a top engineer - his place shuts down for two weeks at christmas- easily home with no problems as no one can cover his job..
( This really stinks... mutter mutter- more kicking dirt clods- mutter mutter..)

[Karen]

But perhaps you'd be better off getting the surgery done when people are not too distracted and overstretched by holiday events?

You'll be in our prayers.

Make sure sound is on. (bottom left)

(For some reason i thought it looked better on my old laptop.)

I pass out the address to this site whenever i find someone in need. I also use it as a holiday card :D

Someone on a message board posted it years ago and for me it stuck. It isn't religion specific even though it's a religious site hosting it. The words spoken with in are words of wisdom. The first time i seen it, i seen how purple it was and almost closed it right away (My third least liked color then.) By the reviews people were giving it on the board though i HAD to check it out. I'm glad i did.

Hope you all enjoy. If you like it, please pass it on.

Jess, you are constantly in my prayers. I'll add a few extras. This time of year is so hard. I wish I were closer so I could come spend some time with you, Tommy and Tasha.

I am going to ask that you all also keep my sister and my aunt in your prayers. My sister (who is 4 years older than I am) has been diagnosed with cancer in her uterus. She will undergo a radical hysterectomy in the coming weeks. Her appt with the oncologist is on Dec. 18 and they will go from there. My aunt's Lymphoma has come back and she is undergoing some treatment at Duke, right now.

God will help me with all of these prayer requests since I have a hard time keeping up sometime. He will know who I am praying for.

[slick]

I read this thread every morning but don't usually repond. Instead, I bow my head and say a little prayer for those who need it. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers every day.

My Auntie Ruth just turned 97 in September....she's my Dad's baby sister. She is in a care home and has now stopped eating and drinking water. She has very little output as well and it seems that the time has come. She is only about 5 min from where I live and I was over to see her this week. She is very weak and has told me she is ready to go....however, she's been telling me that for the last year. But now, she can't walk either and has to be taken to meals in a wheelchair and the staff or family have to almost force feed her. She now has an infection for which the family has decided not to give her antibiotics. She is in no pain or discomfort at all.

Auntie Ruth has always been my favourite Aunt and she is the last remaining one. She is the perfect example of and angel and she never says a bad thing about anyone. A Christian herself, she has the strongest faith of anyone I know. Her door was always open to strangers and she often invited a low income family over for a meal after church.....a different family every Sunday. If I every grow up, I want to be just like her.

Please pray that when it's her time, she goes peacefully in her sleep.

[Dorothy39]

[RobiLee]

I know I have not posted for awhile and I'm actually nervous about asking, but I would like to have some of those pet talk prayers if I could please.

My husband left me a little over 2 months ago. I am not coping well at all. You could probably even say I am not coping. I feel crushed, broken and completely devastated. I am in a deep dark black hole and can't seem to find my way out. I have been with Alden since I was 16 years old. We've been together for 26 years. I want him to come back home so bad. I know many of you will think that I am weak and pathetic for wanting that. I love him with all my heart and always have. I pray every day that God will let him realize that he is making a mistake and that he will come back home to me. Could you guys please pray for the same thing and also pray for me to have the strength to deal with all of this. I would deeply appreciate it. I would love to see if those Pet Talk prayers really do work.

You have no idea how hard it was for me to come here and ask this.

[borzoimom]

Robilee-
My sister went through this two. She came one day, her husband said he didnt love anymore, college sweethearts, and he had to " go find himself". To her this came out of no where. Later during the investigators my parents hired, turned out he had two other woman in two other states. She was so crushed - ..
You need counsiling- it helped her. Also they told her to take B complex especially at night as this is a natural supplement that handles depression.
When I left my ex- I thought my life was over. I had no clue life could be good again- even better than before..
I am telling you- THERE IS LIFE AFTER DIVORCE.. You can not make someone do anything, but you can control what you do.. You are in my prayers and I feel for you- and if you want to chat, you can pm me or send me a instant messanger as it is listed under my profile. ( Just tell me who you are so I answer...)

[RobiLee]

borzoimom....I am in counseling. I'm such an emotional wreck that I go to counseling once a week. It does help some and I usually feel a bit stronger when I come out, but that feeling never lasts.

Please know that you "DO" have Pet Talk Prayers Robilee~ You are such a STRONG woman!!! ( posting on the Prayer Thread proves it!!!)

Thats okay baby!!! I know how you feel. Please try the b complex. You can get it anywhere like a walmart, or cvs. I got the ones from GNC my first month. Its a water soluable vitamin so you want it in the system the longest without uh losing it.. It really does help.. ( also- believe it or not- so does chocolate- there is some chemical in chocolate that helps with depression). Even if you just one had piece at mid day... Treat yourself.. If you lived near by, you could come use my whirlpool.. But I warn you- it turns your muscles into mush!!!
Also- change your music you listen too. None of this " we use to listen to this song" stuff. I switched to country music from gospel or rock- the reason- yessssssssss they lose their wife and car and dog ( yes thats a joke) but its your own music. BTW- you know what happens when you listen to a country music song backwards right- you get your wife back, you get your truck back and you get your dog back- AND YES THAT WAS A JOKE!!!!! come on.. giggle-- I can see your mouth opening in a smile.. come on giggle... pretty pretty please......) :D

same here ... I'm praying for strength for you... just to piggyback off of borzoimom's thoughts about B-complex vitamins, chocolate and music... are you getting natural light? The days are so short this time of year but exposure to daylight is felt to help with low moods. Keep us posted, okay?

Prayers are going out to everyone who has posted on this thread.
I also wanted to thank you all for your kinds words, thoughts and pms about my post. Even though I don't post as much as I used to here on PT, I'm still praying for everyone who has requested and you're always in my thoughts.

PT has really helped me during some dark times (including the one I'm in right now), and I appreciate this community so! It really helps me get through the day sometimes, even if I'm just lurking.

[WolvesRawk]

I need prayers for my dear friend. She was hit by a car last night. One of her friends was with her and told her not to cross, but she did. She was hit by a car, fell into the other lane and was run over. Both cars didn't even bother stopping to help her. She was taken to the hospital in a helecopter. i didn't find this out untill today. At first, I thought she was dead, since all I heard were bad rumors at school. However, she is alive, but is unconcious, has a broken leg, arms, pelvis, jaw and skull. No back or neck injuries, thank God, but internal bleeding and a lacerated liver. I haven't been able to see her and although she's doing well considering the severity of it, there's still a chance that things will go terribly wrong. Please, pray for her, her family, and the friend that was with her.

[borzoimom]

Wolvesrawk- I am so sorry to hear this. I do hope the police can determine who hit her, and then didnt stop.
She is in our prayers for sure- as well as you for your worry. Please keep us posted on her condition. ! God Bless !

[cyber-sibes]

wolvesrawk, that is just awful! Will be praying for your friend & her family. I can't believe neither driver even stopped! :mad:

Robin, you are in my thoughts and prayers every day. Remember I'm always here to talk to and I understand and empathize. Lots of warm hugs going out to you. I know it is hard to come here and ask for thoughts/prayers but I have felt a burden lifted from me when I have done it and I hope you do too.

Love, Jess

Everyone else in need here are also in my prayers. Wolvesrawk that is horrible :(

[WolvesRawk]

She's still in very critical condition, but has improoved since yesterday. Thank you for your prayers! I think now its just getting all of the injuries to heal, since they won't get any worse, and heal the emotional injuries to her and her family. The girl she was with and saw it all happen is a wreck and we haven't seen her. Hopefully she'll not be at school for the next few weeks. What is really making me furious is the way people are handling it. You would not beleive how many people were saying "At least it was just her instead of someone else" I'm so furious, I had to force myself to calm down and not beat them to a bloody little stain on the sidewalk.

[Dorothy39]

Wolvesrawk~

I am praying for her to Heal, and for her family as well.

Chronic pain is a very lonely life.
I know all about chronic pain.And I read a lot of books that were written by doctors with chronic pain so it helps.But if you ever need me...please PM me.I'm finally on the right road after seeing a pain specialist.(An intelligent one).He's a neorologist.
What I've gone through is horrible until you find the right doctor for what you need.
I'm here if you need me for support.Anytime.

I am praying for everyone who has asked for them.

Please keep your prayers coming for me. I have not been doing well this week and feel so miserable, defeated, lost, frightened and scared.

I also feel I am losing faith in prayers. I know that is a bad thing, but I have been praying every day, several times a day since this has started and I see nothing good coming from it.

I know I shouldn't give up, but I am so tired. Just completely drained. Emotionally and physically.

You are in my thoughts and prayers every day Robin. I know that for me it has helped to just pray for peace and acceptance, rather than pray for something specific to happen. It can be a little scary doing that too, because you crave things to be the way you long for them to be so much, and by not praying specifically for it you feel you may be giving up on it, but for me I've found a strange peace in simply praying for inner peace and strength, no matter what else happens. I hope that makes sense. {{hugs}}

You've been on my mind a lot, Robin. My first marriage broke up after 20 years, I know how devasting it can feel. I have found that prayer is a wonderful tool for transformation - it doesn't always change the circumstances, but it always changes me. I'm praying for the best and highest good for all concerned. (((hugs)))

Brian has stopped eating and drinking. He doesn't want to live like he's living. I haven't talked to him in a month and our last conversation wasn't a good one. He wasn't wanting anyone to call him but I never dreamed that would include me. In the phone call before that, he told me that it was no way to live. It must be hard having your mind normal and not being able to move or do anything for yourself. It's been a very sad year. I hate that this has happened to him. He's much too sweet a man to have to leave the world this way. I'm so glad I got to see him in October. I just wish he wasn't isolating himself like this and that I weren't so far away. If I were there, that might have made a big difference.

Thanks to everyone who kept isabelle in your prayers. :) Isabelle's surgery went great. But the test results are back, and the cancer has spread.
So please, please keep her in your thoughts and prayers, she really needs them now. :( :(

[TamanduaGirl]

Debated but the more people praying the more it could help. My dad is currently under going testing for possible leukemia. Long story but he nearly died from a gall stone which lead to all manner of blood tests. He is going in on the 10th to have his gallbladder out and they will be doing a liver biopsy at the same time to determine any possible permanent damage due to his gallbladder incident. so pray all his test come out good(not positive since that's bad in medical terms:) ) and that his surgery goes smoothly.

Me too Dorothy. Christmas miracles do happen and "I believe". Prayers going out to all of you.

I wonder, where is Robin?? I hope she is OK because Christmas can be a very sad time of year. I'm going to call Randi tomorrow. She must be missing John (Jonza) more than ever now.
