OneVike has been a Freeper since early 1998, and it seems he is having some medical troubles. I know OV from before I joined FreeRepublic, in fact he is the one who turned me onto FR. I have not regretted the day I joined, and I have many new friends I would not have had if it were not for him getting me to join. OV has never been one to worry about his own troubles much, instead he is usually asking others to pray for his paraplegic wife who has had her share of troubles.
I found out that he is suffering from some sort of nerve problem that has made it impossible for him to concentrate or even use a keyboard. I guess it's an old injury from the accident he and his wife were in 22 years ago that put her in a wheelchair. I talked to him on the phone and he is not sure when he will heal.
The doctors say they cannot do anything for him because he has arthritis that has set into his neck from a childhood illness that was aggravated even worse by the accident in "87". He was told when the inflammation goes down they might be able to help, but as long as it's inflamed there isn't much they can do. They have him on pain killers but he says they really only take the edge off. He doesn't sleep good at night and is finding difficult to even do the things he normally does for his wife.
I read some comments to an article he wrote on his blog called PUP where he explained some of his problems why he has not posted but a few articles this Month and while there is some support for him with prayers, quite a few are leaving hateful comments about his troubles. Saying things like God is doing it to him because he is a bigot, and they hope he never recovers to write again.
Well, I am asking you all to pray for OV, and maybe let those hateful liberals who are leaving mean spirited and evil comments on his site know what you think.

I am pinging OneVike’s list because he is in need of your prayers. He is not doing well, even if he tries to say otherwise.
Please if you would, drop off a prayer comment on his site where he wrote a letter as to why he is not as active as he was.

Adding my prayers.
Prayers up for One Vike.
He rocks and may he continue to do so.
Ignore those ignorant evil minds and let’s not waste any time responding to them. They are who they are. Nasty, ugly, bitter, angry, stuffy, stale and mean as the devil himself.
Let’s all just concentrate on praying for this couple who are suffering so much and handling it all with character and dignity. That’s who we should turn our thoughts and prayers too. no one else.
God IS watching EVERYONE. Let those on the ugly comment side do as they will and do not give them the attention they CRAVE by responding. Ignore them as they should be ignored...they will pay one day when they meet their maker. Then we will be praying for THEM.
God’s blessings on this husband and wife.
Sincere prayers for your friend.
Praying for a speedy and full recovery for OneVike.
Prayers for OneVike & his wife.
Let him know we miss his posts and his spunk. Will be praying for him and looking forward to ‘seeing’ him hopefully soon. Blessings to OV and his wife, and thanks for letting us know TH.
Ping to all who are willing to provide prayers for OV. Thank you all in advance.
