Daily Prayer Request For Freeper Budge Rhae
E-mail From Budge | April 29, 2002 | Vets_Husband_&_Wife

Posted on 04/29/2002 11:54:50 AM PDT by Vets_Husband_and_Wife

Our Friend and fellow Freeper Budge Rhae has had an accident. He fell at work Tuesday, and compressed his L-1 Vertebrae. I'm sure my dear friend won't mind me posting a part of his e-mail to me.

"I fell at work last Tuesday and now have a compressed vertebre(?) at L1. I have to wear a brace, use a walker, and I am as depressed as I have ever been. Can't even eat, feel like everything is going to stick in my throat."

Oue Budge is a dear dear friend to many here at FreeRepublic. He could use some prayers and encouragement. Years ago, I fractured L-1 and L-2. What he is going through isn't fun. And your prayers and words of friendship will be greatly appreciated.

Many of you probably know him from the many FR get-togethers.

I can only get one of my pics to post.. it is the one of Budge and JimRob. I have a really cool one of our handsome Budge with Dolly Kyle Browning, I'm going to keep trying to post that one. You can see what a doll face he is. Please Ping this to all who I have forgotten. I don't keep a Ping List.

I love you Budge.. hang tight my friend. Prayers are on the way. I've already started.... GOD BLESS YOU BUDGE,..AND MAY HE HEAL YOU QUICKLY, I ASK THIS IN HIS SON'S NAME, JESUS CHRIST!!

BUDGE AND JIMROB

I was real sorry to hear about your accident. I hope you are doing better. Any chance you'll be able to make it to the meeting Saturday? I'm sure one of us could come get you if it's a driving issue. Let us know. Either way, hurry and get better!

Here's a picture of Budge and pulaskibush from one of our FReeper meetings.

Your puter keys will be SMOKIN when you get Dr. Joes chair!!! Be sure to warn the fire department!!!

Hey,.. baby steps friend!! The eating has improved..now onto those back muscles!!! That is the WORST part of a back injury, the muscles involved. They try to do their job by contracting suddenly when you fall, they try to prevent the break. But HO BOY.. do they suffer for their hard work!!

Meaning.. so do you!!!

Time is the great healer in this one friend. I can tell you this.. after I broke mine, I did take the pain meds. That allowed my muscles to heal better. After about 5 mos, I had deep tissue massage from a VERY experienced trained therapist. It worked wonders. It is the second thing I highly recommend for anyone with a severe back injury. Now this isn't your "garden variety" feel good massage. It is actually even uncomfortable. But man oh man.. does it ever help out those muscles afterwards!!! I only went twice!!!

It is an unfortunate accident friend (Well, lets be honest.. IT SUCKS!!) But there WILL be a day when your life is back to normal. And with all these prayers.. I have a feeling your going to heal quicker than normal!!!

FLOWERS HUH??? And CARDS!!! ;o)

WHY??? because you're so dang special!!!!

Lots of love to you and Rainy!!!! HUGS!!! and PRAYERS!!! TONS OF PRAYERS!!!

Wow.. those flowers are BEAUTIFUL!!!! Our Lise is an angel!! Got a couple of those on this site!!! :o)

Thanks Budge.. I would have missed them somehow. I also think Annie and Tiger are pretty adorable too. But no pics of Rainy?? Humph.. thats how you men are. Art would probably post a picture of Molly first too!!! Speaking of which..she is now ringing the bell wanting to be walked.

Remember.. every day will get better. Somedays you wonder "what the heck" cause you feel as sore as ever. It's almost like a step backwards. Strange thing back injuries. But I can promise you.. you are getting better. Hang in there friend!!!

CIAO baby.. until tonight or tomorrow.

And remember.....

Hey Budge. Glad to hear your appetite is returning. Loved the pictures of your "kids". Are they nursing you or keeping their distance???? Usually when I'm sick, my two "pups" just lay with me ("Fred the cat" on the other hand, hides) Last year I was one of 200 in our small community who came down with food poisoning. (at the time everyone thought it was the flu) Gizmo, my little Shitsu guy, never left my side as I slept on and around the toilet for about 24 hours LOL.

God bless you and am praying for a continued speedy recovery.
