Been out of town, so I'm just catching up, but keeping everyone's requests in mind & prayer...
Congratulations Andy! So exciting!
and I'm so relieved to hear that Mac's in no danger of losing his life.About this cow-tipping thing... :eek: I heard it's a rural legend, but when I lived in IL, not even the country kids would tell me if it's true or not! I think they just liked pulling this city girl's leg! :oQuote:

Prayers going out to you, dear Terry. I so hope your suffering can be eased.
Prayers going out to my cherished friend Vela, facing so many stressful and emotionally taxing situations.
Prayers for Mary as well, and all of those in need.
Papa almost died today. Thanks to the nurses NOT PAYING ATTENTION. My uncle has walked into him twice, and saved his life both times, just in time. I am just very emotional over this. More prayers would be great, thanks.... :(
Not knowing the full story, it's hard to make suggestions;Quote:

carried in a pocket or on a belt, connected to ME with stick-on patches.
It continuously sent my vitals into "Headquarters" at the nurses' station.
They have similar set-ups for nursing home residents.
Do SOMETHING to have him monitored!

Thank you all for your prayers for my friend Liz' husband Bob.
His cancer proved to be more wide-spread than anticipated, but they feel they've successfully removed it all. He's healing much quicker than anticipated from his surgery and Liz has asked me to express her thanks to each of you for your healing prayers -- they are tangably strong.
Thank you very much
More prayers for all those that need them. *HUGS*
A great big heartfelt thank you to everyone.
I will continue to pray for all those in need here.
I am so sorry I forgot to say; CONGRATULATIONS ANDY!!! Good for you! :)
My mom did complain. Hell of a job they did. Ugh.Quote:

He is currently sleeping; and they will find out more in the morning. They transported him out of ICU today AND now tonight, he is back in the ICU.
God. This infection is serious and I didn't think it would be. Please make it go away. I AM NOT READY for this right now.
*sigh*
More prayers, please.
Prayers going out to your Papa. I've seen the prayers here do a lot of good.
Prayers for you, too, that you have strength - to cheer your Papa up when you get to see him! :)
HUGS.
Prayers and positive thoughts are going out to everyone who needs them. I always say PT prayers for everyone who needs them each night.:)
Prayers going out for your Papa, Rachel. Things must be so scary for you right now. Hope the infection goes away, that they can do something about the clot, and he'll get better. Big hugs to you!!!
Tamara, I really hope things turn out ok for Mac. Poor guy! He was just trying to have some fun! The dangerous dog sounds like the one who got Tehya in the leg!
Prayers needed for Kia. Found bloody phlegm in her crate this morning.
Well, I found out that Papa is doing better, they will figure out what is wrong and what exactly happened last night. He was in bed, joking with my dad about OSU losing to Wisconsin last night.. :)
SO I found out this also... that 2 weeks ago Papa went to the foot doctor and they said his toe that he had surgery on, it wasn't infected, which they couldnt have been wronger about! Then apparently it got really swollen and tender and Uncle Al took him to the hospital and they said it was VERY, VERY infected, and that's what caused him to go to ICU. So, it's called septic shock which means the infection gets in your blood and causes the organs to shut down!
My cousin just called me saying that the doctors said that they think they need to move him to a different hospital to do a test and check for blockage in his arteries of his heart... because of what happened last night. So.. TOMORROW, they will be doing a heart cauterization. (sp?)
GOSH. I don't know much more upset I can get over this.
Thanks guys for your support... this is really rough on me..
Quick update. Confirmatory test was positive; it's a brain tumor. She'll have her first appointment with the neuro-oncologist Wednesday.Quote:

More thoughts and prayers going out to everyone from me. It never ceases to amaze me when I see the power of PT prayer working.
Rachel, I'm so sorry your Granddad is sick. I know how worried you are. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}
Elyse, poor Mary. I'm so sorry. This has to be very scary for everyone involved. Thanks for asking. I'm doing okay and staying as positive as possible. I just keep looking forward to getting this thing over with. I know there is a light at the end of this tunnel.
I hope all is well with Mac and you and Stuart, Tamara.
My Uncle Elwood(Dad's brother) was taken to the hospital yesterday with a possible stroke.He could really use some prayers today.Will get a update from my Aunt later when Mom calls her.
Dear ones, I'm sorry to come to you again so soon. But I received some unexpected news this morning. We've had a wonderful, dynamic director of children's ministry at my church. However, she was diagnosed and treated for breast cancer and had been in experimental treatment for a couple months for ovarian cancer (which is known to develop in those who have had breast cancer). She died last night. This request has two parts. Thank God for all of the lives Vickie has touched during her work with the kids. I don't have kids but she has always been a key part of our family Christmas Eve service that I play for, so that's how I know her. At the end, for the closing prayer she always has the kids singing Happy Birthday to Jesus. Never a dry eye in the house. She's one of those people that it's a privilege just to know. But for her husband and kids, too- one daughter and one son and I believe they are both in college. Apparently the experimental treatment was not going as well as we had hoped. I'm sure she's rejoicing in heaven this morning. I can just picture her and St. Peter at the pearly gates -- he probably wasn't ready for all her energy :)
Thank you again,
Elyse
Prayers for Vickie's family, Elwood, and all those that need them.
Barry, I'm so sorry to hear about Elwood. That's a shame.
Elyse, it sounds like you lost a great person there. I'm so sorry.
I'll keep everyone in my thoughts and prayers.
Prayers for Vicki and her family and friends. Prayers for your uncle, Barry.
Congrats again to Andy!
Prayers that all goes well with your surgery, D&D!
And prayers that all goes well with Mary's treatment, with all the new techniques they have.
Rachel, hope your Papa can come home soon!
Prayers to anyone I have missed.
Requesting prayers for PT's Emily_the_Spoiled.
She lost her heart cat Emily very recently...not only that, but a family member was diagnosed with cancer, and her job may be in jeopardy.
Please send good vibes and prayers her way.

Dick Fletcher passed away this morning. :( The news will never be the same. And of course, we are having some scary, icky weather today.
http://www.tampabays10.com/news/loca...?storyid=74821
Rest well, Fletch. :(
Prayers to Dick's family and colleagues. He was just too young...and looks healthy in his photos!
He has created endless memories, and mentored many others. A wonderful man.
prayers for my uncle Ted please-
he found out he was a diabetic late this summer, had a sore that just would not heal - a couple weeks ago - he underwent a procedure to put a vacuum in place to get rid of the infection and encourage new growth around the area of the sore.
then about a week later - he underwent a major surgery of bypassing his arteries of his lower legs due to poor circulation. (he has suffered from blood clots since his 20's - come to find out his circulation to his feet was about nil)
they had to go in and open him up from sternum to groin - move all the innards around - bypass the arteries - put everything back and sew him back up! HE was getting around pretty well, but I just found out from my mom he spent the nite in the ER with KIDNEY STONES! :(
Poor Uncle Ted! He just can't get a break!
I hope they could do an ultrasound on the stones and get them broken up. That is terribly painful!
Staci - some docs say a good fish oil Omega product helps with circulation and keeping blood vessels clear. I wonder if they would help your uncle.
Prayers and I hope he gets to recover from everything now.
Prayers are working....
Papa is doing a lot better! He is in good spirits..
He had a heart cauterization done, and he has no heart problems at all. They are still keeping him in the hospital becasue they need to figure out what happened to him on Sunday evening..
Thank you guys.. the prayers & thoughts means the world to me!

The FML-Intermittent was approved. They backdated it to January!Quote:

I can barely turn the faucet on for a shower, and can't raise that arm without severe pain in order to wash my hair. Of course, hubby still wants me to vacuum, do dishes, feed/water the critters, etc. I can barely type. I paid a massage therapist (hate doing that) and it did nothing to alleviate the pain. Percocet does nothing. I'm at my wits end. It's just 1 thing after another. So ready to just give up. Life for those around me would be so much easier.
Please say a word or two that this gets fixed...
Thanks, Crystal
Crystal, I think Hubby needs a smack up the side of the head, and you need to draw some boundaries while you are unwell.
Does he really 'want' you to do all this housework, or are you doing it without mentioning the pain you are in? See about having a professional cleaner come in once a week - because you HURT too much.
If you want to give up on something, give up on accepting less than the best for yourself.
1 - 2 days FMLA per MONTH???? How about some longer-term disability?
And how about some short-term counselling for yourself? You have migraines, now your arm is killing you, and that takes a toll on your emotions.
Don't give up; get angry and push for what YOU need. You come first.
HUGS!
prayers for all that need them....
Crystal - I have a few choice words to say to your husband but since this is family friendly forum I'll keep them to myself. :mad:
I won't go into some of hubby's issues here, it's the prayer thread, not the whine thread... lets just say he's not the happiest camper in the woods and is pretty sarcastic and nasty a good 90% of the time. I get about 10% of good mood from him.
I do have a dr. appointment Friday afternoon to see what's going on with my shoulder. I hope it's nothing major. My doctor deals in family and sports medicine, so hopefully he'll have a really good idea of what is going on.
Thanks ya'll.
In response to this even though I said I wouldn't whine...Quote:

A few years back I had surgery on my hand and it was in a cast for a bit of time. He wouldn't do a single dish - so I had to put on huge gloves and wrap a bag around my arm so I could do them. Yep, with my hand in a cast. It's hard to do dishes with 1 hand.
To quote Dr. Phil: "We teach people how to treat us". If your husband won't do his share around the house, hire help. You are in no condition to do all that you're doing. Don't bow down to the problem, take control of it. Best wishes to you.
I'm wondering if you have a torn rotater cuff which if that is the case surgery is in order. And Hubby is going to have to buck up and GROW up.
If not - you will need to go stay with someone who CAN take care of you after surgery b/c RC surgery isn't something to joke about.
I agree with Medusa. You teach people how to treat you and if you decided you are only worth how he treats you he of course is going to agree.
Maybe you should go stay somewhere for a few days and let him see what its like without you!
please pray for my co-worker's dog Chase. He shot out the door around 2:30pm today she and her mom chased him for awhile but she had to come to work, her mom had to leave and by the time her mom went to work tonite @ 7pm he wasn't home yet.
She is pretty worried as we all would be.
Please pray he's safe and comes home.
