URGENT! PRAY FOR CAPTAINPHILFAN - MULTIPLE NEEDS
Posted by Dahoser
UPDATE: (8/22/2024) It’s been a terrible year. If it’s not a curse, it’s God Himself trying to tell me something ;)
As for the latest, the 3 tendons on the back of my hand that were cut are healing somewhat. Since June 11 I haven’t been able to use that, my right hand, for very much at all. No grip, no strength. Still swollen. Surgery just about 2 months ago now, I’m getting terrifically impatient and despondent over not being able to do my usual things.
As for the emergency hernia that happened - what? 5 days after hand surgery? - I had a spigelian hernia, no idea how or when but all of the sudden it was THERE. From 0 to 160 in 10 minutes. Wow, the pain.
So, the wonderful surgeon came in and opened me like a can of sardines at 3 AM on a Sunday morning, and after an initial 2 weeks of not doing very well, THAT is healing magnificently. The scar is about 8-10 inches but most of the bruising is gone. I still can’t actually look at it.
Before we knew what it was and before the morphine and fentanyl kicked in, I asked Dahoser to not only post for prayers on FR but I made him baptize me, too. Some kind of glacier water right outta the machine - I hope God doesn’t mind.
(now, although I do profess to be a born again evangelical I have yet to be properly baptised. Just haven’t found a church that does living, running water baptisms and I never thought the fish tank kind were very hygienic or proper).
And so that’s it for my surgical updates. I am surely better than I deserve but I wish I was a bit better than that.
Aside from all that, Dahoser is still only working a very cheap contract and we need a full time job with health insurance. It’s good to have the paycheck from the contract but that will be ending soon and we may end up living in our cars. At least we have 2 of them :)
Oy. Can you tell I haven’t been out of the house much in 3 months?? Dang I need some real life people, too.
You be well and blessed. I love my FReepers as much as anyone. I’m even blessed enough to be friends on facebook with a bunch.
Prayers up for you, too, for whatever you may need or our Father sees fit to bless you with. .

URGENT! PRAY FOR MS.BEHAVIN
Posted by MS.BEHAVIN
UPDATE:(8/18/2024)
Those horrible back injections that I suffered through did not do much good. Inside of 2 weeks, that back pain came roaring back just as though I had never had those injections. I am not going to put myself through that again. It was one of the MOST painful injections that I have ever been through.
To top that off, I have had an exacerbation of my COPD and have been tethered to my 02 concentrator for about 12 days. I am hoping this will calm down soon. I was previously walking around with no supplemented 02, and doing very well.

PRAY FOR RUSTY
Posted by CottonBall
UPDATE (8/18/2024) Rusty0604
I've been really busy with stuff one has to do after moving. Driving and grocery shopping again but it takes a toll on my neck. And doing things with grands.
I got physical therapy to take my Texas surgeons prescription, so I start Thursday, glad because I couldn’t get a GP appointment until October. Since I missed my oncology appointments in spring because of my neck I was hoping to just get a referral for my tests.
HMOs present a real problem, and hard to get an appointment is government run healthcare for ya. I have Medicare advantage but Obamacare made private practice almost obsolete.
Continued Prayer points:
Recovering from neck surgery
Improved sleeping positions
Arm strength
Shoulder pain
Blood pressure

My apologies for taking so long to post news about little Noah James (I have been very busy with a new job and working 60 hour weeks). This little precious fighter is just a joy to see.

He has been home now for a couple of months and is a very happy guy and his future looks great today!
Thanks again to all for your thoughts and prayers!! Blessings all.

PRAYER REQUEST FOR ME
(Long Covid, Insomnia, Retirement)
Posted on 5/17/2024 by ducttape45
DUCTTAPE45 NEEDS CONTINUED PRAYER! KEEP HIM ON YOUR LIST.
Good evening Freepers.
I wanted to share a few prayer requests with you. I don't normally post things like this for me as I try to keep some aspects of my life close to the chest, but I wanted to share these as they continue to be things that I am dealing with, some of them for quite some time.
First off, Long Covid. As many of you know, I retired from my job in Apr 23 because of Long Covid. I was infected with Covid 19 in February 2022, but in Nov 22 I developed Long Covid. I initially recovered from Covid and was on my way to what I thought was a full recovery when Long Covid hit me, and hard. Nov 2022 to Apr 2023 were very difficult months, and Long Covid has stayed with me since then, and although it's not quite as bad as it was, I'm still disabled. What I got hit with was a combination of chronic fatigue, extreme nausea, insomnia and dizziness/confusion. While the fatigue and nausea are not as bad, I still suffer with all of those symptoms. It's only by pacing myself, resting and eating very bland foods that I am able to get by. And that leads me to my next request.
Second, Insomnia. That aspect of my condition has been extremely rough. From Nov 22 to Apr 23 I was taking a fist full of drugs in order to sleep. I did not put in a full day’s work that entire timeframe because of the Long Covid, and not being to get a good night’s rest made things worse. Even though I was taking those drugs my days were still hard to get through. It’s a good thing I had over 400 hours of sick leave. It came in very handy.
When I finally retired I tried to get myself off those drugs but it proved very difficult. I was basically addicted to them by that point and trying to go “cold turkey” was not a good idea. It wasn't until late December that I finally hit upon a game plan to get rid of the sleep meds but it's taking this long to play out.
With the assistance of a VA counselor helping me with my insomnia, I was able to reduce my intake over the months until, just this week, I finally stopped taking the sleep drug, Temazepam/Restoril, altogether. When I started taking that medication, I was taking 30 MG capsules. I was able to reduce that to 22.5 MG by Nov/Dec 23, then to 15 MG in Jan 24, then 7.5 MG since March. Just a couple of days ago I stopped taking it altogether. But it wasn't without assistance from the VA counselor helping me modifying my sleep patterns that I was able to do so. He’s also had me keep a diary to chronicle the entire process. HOWEVER, I now have to give my body time to adjust and hopefully get my sleeping pattern on track again. With each reduction in medication it normally takes about two months to re-regulate my sleep.
Third, Retirement. Since I retired I've been trying to get various aspects of my retirement in order, but there have been bumps along the way.
SS denied my in February of this year, after a wait of over 6 months, and I hired a SS disability lawyer to appeal my case. It's ongoing.
The lawyers are trying to figure out what to do next, but I know what I want to do, and that is fire off a letter to the VA expressing my anger. The department in the VA that deals with disability claims no longer works for the veteran. They actively work against them, and I really want to express my outrage to them.
Whew, that took longer than I anticipated to type out. I know that is a lot to take in, but those are the areas I really need prayer for. I appreciate the time you took to read all that. Thank you and God bless you all.

PRAYER NEEDED
(Pollywog's Adopted Daughter)
From pollywog | 05/16/2024
SAUDIA AND POLLY NEED CONTINUED PRAYER. KEEP THEM ON YOUR LIST.
I don’t even know how to condense this...... but my adopted daughter Saudia, is 33years old.
Born premature, due to drug addicted mom. Weighed under 2 lbs...suffered a brain hemorrhage causing mild Cerebral palsy and learning disabilities.
We took her at age 6 months and raised her as a foster daughter. Finally at age 16 adopted her. She has always and still does live with me. She is a precious Christian girl but does have some mental delays.
Saudia works a part time job with a job coordinator overseeing her... washing dishes in a small restaurant.
She has been receiving disability from my husband... SSDA each month. We received a letter today that she may be losing this disability. We are both DEVASTATED !! We have 10 days in which to appeal.
We have contacted her Regional Worker, and will try and go to Social Security tomorrow and find out what we can do at this point, but honestly the stress of the letter has me irrupted in tears and loads of anxiety.
I should be trusting God but I am scared to death as I am 82 , and she is 33 and needs support.

PRAYER FOR NIECE
Posted by GailA
UPDATE (3/16/2024)
My niece has Gastroparesis, it’s a slow digestive disorder, I went through the same thing years ago. It is totally diet-controlled. The 1 med is useless. Supplements, eat simple, no hulls, peels, or seeds.
I’ve already told her what to do, she just has to be patient and start slow. Doctors sent her home on a liquid diet. Down to 95 lbs. I hit 108.
The coatings on fruits are making people sick. And you can’t wash them off, Gates crap. Apeel or Peelz. Handle with surgery gloves.
Thank you.

My mom is doing fairly well. (Lumpectomy surgery and chemo.) Most days are ok, but occasionally she has fatigue and queasiness. She also has lost all of her hair and wears a wig now. But overall, she is weathering the treatment better than I expected.
My mom will be having her 4th and last chemo treatment on July 2. After that is some radiation treatment and then she should be ok again.
Thank you so much to everyone for praying to help my mom and my family through this challenging time. May God bless you all!

__________________________________
For the record, my wife, our daughter Lora, and I are extremely grateful to everyone here who offered up prayers for Lora’s recovery upon being diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Her journey with cancer will never be over but for now she has completed her treatment at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. and the doctors have deemed it a success. As those who have had cancer know so well, periodic monitoring will be the standard protocol from here on out. She is now home with her family - three kids, a husband, and two dogs - and back to remote working at her job and enjoying all the activities of managing a busy family life. Your prayers of support in our troubled times will be cherished forever. Thank you.
Prayers going up for all requests!!! <><
