Do any of you have prayer requests??

[Pinot's Mom]

Ellie, I just saw this, I'm sorry. Of course prayers from here and let me know if you need me.

On a side note - prayers, please, for the City of Baltimore. There is absolute chaos in the city over the Grey arrest. Just so sad.

Prayers and sympathy for you, Ellie, and all who love and mourn your dear friend.

And prayers for the City of Baltimore.

Thanks Pat, but I think you meant this for someone else. I haven't lost anybody - only my mind if that counts..........

Thanks a bunch Maggie. Now waiting for results of 2 MRI's late last week - maybe today or tomorrow. It seems the problems have probably been identified, but what caused them or how to treat, is up in the air at this point.

And on the Baltimore note - prayers that this settles soon with no further bloodshed , violence, or destruction of property and businesses. Glad I'm not having to see my spine specialist there right now, since Camden Yards is practically next to the hospital/med center, and I drive right past there on my way over. I need to get over there, but I'll hold off till things quiet down.

Oh, Ellie, I think I've lost my mind too.. somehow I confused your posting and Scooter's Mom's. I just now responded to hers.

My best wishes to you with the MRI results.. and I hope Baltimore settles down before you need to go see your spine specialist again. And I am always sending along the good wishes and prayers for you with your spine.. being in the same boat myself. All seems to be well with mine, knock on wood..

More violence and unrest is erupting as I type this - and it's the day of the funeral of Freddie Gray. I'm watching a Baltimore station - and it's crazy and a lot of the city is already shutting down before it even gets dark and even more difficult to keep the masses of rioters under control. I believe that all this is just an excuse for the hoodlums to get out and do what they do best - create more havoc. They are accomplishing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, and just making matters worse. So damn sad...........

It is, and you know the law-abiding citizens of Baltimore are the ones who will pay the price, in terms of the city's reputation, damage to businesses ...

Pomtzu, how are you? Did you get any results from those tests, etc?

Yes - Baltimore normally is one of the calmer and more relaxed and hospitable of the big cities. It's a shame that they are being dragged down by relatively few trouble makers.

No - nothing on the MRI's yet. The CT scan I had before these, detected some major issues and prompted my doctor to order the MRI's, since the MRI's are much more precise and exacting, and can further visualize what the CT can't. And in the meantime, last week I also started my 5 week i.v. iron infusion to combat the dangerously severe anemia that is plaguing me. I go to the infusion lab at the hospital once each week for an i.v., and about 3 weeks after I have the last one, then more lab to check my iron level. Hopefully it will be up and stay up. I had this once before about 5 years ago, and it worked wonders. Hoping for the same results this time. Now to get other issues resolved!!!! Several different ones all smacked me down at the same time - around mid-December. I'm just so darn weak and tired -feel like I have the strength of a newborn kitten............

Thanks for asking, Karen.

[phesina]

Dear Ellie, we're sending loads of good wishes and love and prayers for you with all that's going on. I hope the iron infusion will work as well as the one you had before, and the MRI results will be promising.

Same goes for me! I hope the iron treatments will be very helpful and the MRI results will help move your care forward.

And prayers for Catty1's mom, too.

Anemia is no fun, hopefully these treatments will do the trick. We are glad you have the Wolfman to keep you going, and give you some much-needed grins!
