Do any of you have prayer requests??

**K9karen** · 04-11-2008, 11:04 PM

Please know that I send hugs and prayers to everyone here, although I don't always add a reply. As much as I hate to make a lot of my personal problems known, 'cause they never seem to end these days, I'm a bit overwhelmed and could use some support.

Since my mom died, I've become closer to her oldest sister who just turned 90 but acts 70! She had a stroke in Dec. and was in rehabs on and off. She recently needed psychiatric care as she was diagones with delusional psychosis. She's on meds that make her loopy . The stroke affected her speech and cognizant skills so she's unable to take direction or understand a lot. I have been seeing her at the nursing home every day, feeding her, doing her wash. She fell and broke her wrist and I just got a call that she fell out of bed, thankfully onto a rubber mat. Her hubby is 94 and spent last week in the hospital. Because of his age, he cannot have surgery (not life threatening) but now needs a cane. So I am running back and forth to both of them almost every day. They are each others Powerof Attorney, as they left out her son. Both may need to be in nursing homes permanently so their finances will have to be figured out. My uncle is asking me since I've had the misery of doing it 2x before.

I'm more frustrated than meaning to complain. It's just overwhelming. I also need MORE spine surgery which I'm postponing right now. There's a a chance, from what I've been told, than I may need a hip replacement, sooner than later! When it rains it pours! Please keep me in your thoughts that I can handle these situations properly. Thanks all!

Goodness, that's an awful lot for one person to handle. Somehow you'll manage to get through it all, I promise you. We'll keep the prayers going for you and know that you will be able to cope w/it all quickly, easily and in peace.

Special thoughts and prayers are going out to you k9karen...sounds like your doing to much especially w/spine problems.please slow down so you don't end up hurting your spine more.you still have a long future and you don't want to be in pain for the rest of your life.
my back problems are so bad from doing to much in the past that i will never ever be pain free.if i didn't have mike helping me,i'd be in HUGE trouble.
Please,slow down...let the nurses do a lot of your Auntie's washes...and you can still feed her.
