FRiends,
The edema and infections are getting worse and I'm scared that I will lose one or both of my feet or even my legs. My feet are about two-and-a-half times their normal size. It will be very hard to take care of my wife (stroke last year) and myself if I lose my mobility. I appreciate any and all prayers, thoughts, best wishes or whatever. This is like a second home for me and I have many good friends here that I've never met in person. Thank you!
Hate asking for help. Haven’t gone to the food bank or such things because that’s for the “poor” people but starting to come to the realization that that’s me! Recently put in for an increase in my VA benefits but that takes months, if not over a year. Wife can only work so many hours because of the economy and her health.
Praying for you and your wife. I’m so sorry to hear that you have been going through so much.
Sure thing. I’ll pray for you. Let us know!
Prayer bump. You might need to go into the hospital and elevate your legs for a few days.
We will be praying for you, Vet!!!
You’ll be in our prayers at supper.
God bless.
2ndDivisionVet, Keith and I are praying for you. We do hope you will be healed and very soon.
God bless and keep you and Mrs. 2ndDivisionVet!
Prayers have been sent.
Know that 4 little children will be on their knees praying for you and your wife this evening. God bless!
Prayers for you 2ndDV and for your dear wife! Ask and ye shall receive, and I’m asking for a healing for you! God bless you!
Prayers up 2nd Div! God Bless!
You’re very welcome.
I’ve beem praying for you both since you first told us of your serious health problems, and I’ll continue on a daily basis.
I’m very concerned that your medical issues aren’t being fully addressed, ie heart failure, kidney failure, blood pressure, etc. I’ll pray that you get to your doctors and get some good medications and advice, also.
Been there, done that. Praying for you.
In my case it was weight. I had open sores for months that just weren’t healing along with some pretty serious edema with the major contributing factor being my weight.
Finally my doc said to go on the Atkins diet so I can drop off the weight and worry about the small stuff, i.e. cholesterol, later.
Sticking on the diet I dropped almost 15 pounds the first two weeks and four a week after that. The edema went away and with it the sores as the skin wasn’t stretched too tight to heal any longer. I kept the wounds covered with Neosporin and gauze while they were healing.
Praying that it is God’s will to restore you both to good health.
May God still have plans for you both here on Earth.
Prayers for you and your wife!
Prayers UP!!!
