Please pray for all those that are getting tests and awaiting results that may indicate a serious cancer.
This morning a second and much too humble FReeper who (for the moment) will remain nameless has requested prayers for an upcoming scan.
Please add your first name to this thread and we will all pray for your complete healing and freedom from all anxiety by name to the Divine Physician and in prayer may we all be drawn nearer to each other in unity with our brother, Lord and Savior Christ Jesus who desires that we all be as one.
Prayers up for your daughter.
Prayers up for your wife.
Thank you!
Prayers continue!
Lord Jesus, rest the souls of Thy servants Ryan and Lance and comfort their families.
Heal our nation fro all addictions and forgive us our sins.
I{n the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost, amen.

As you may or may not know, I only really started taking care of the diabetes in 2017, though I was diagnosed in 2010. Even then, my control has been kinda bad. I sometimes see a blood sugar near 300, but I am getting better./FReeper Lazamataz URGENTLY needs our prayers. Please take a moment to pray for his eyesightSome of my neglect has caught up with me.
Friday morning, I noticed I was seeing double when driving. I went to the doctor for a previous appointment, unrelated to this. I didn’t bother to mention this issue because it came and went, and I figured it was just eye strain or something.
Well, it got worse Saturday. My optometrist is open on Saturday, at 11AM, but I ended up calling the on-call doctor (they say to call if it is an ocular emergency. I figured this was close enough to an emergency.
So I got in touch with him, and he told me to come in right at 11AM, and that he would bump his previous person’s appointment, because this is serious. I came in, he looked me over (retinas, eye movement, prescription change). When he got done he told me what has likely happened is that one or two of the 6 major nerves, or a blood vessel feeding one of the eye muscles had either a stenosis (narrowing) or aneurysm (swelling). He would be concerned if is is an aneurysm, so we’d want me to get to my normal doctor)first thing on Monday in an emergency basis, and at his recommendation, to order a scan (CT or MRI) using angiogram / radioactive fluids so they can see what’s going on it there. So I will need to do these things to maybe get my eyes back to normal function.
There is a bit of good news – the optomologist said the prognosis for a recovery in weeks or months is pretty good, because my pupil function was perfectly okay. He told me the body will come up with new blood vessels to feed the nerve and the muscle that is in a state of palsy, and that if there is nerve damage, even that can be repaired. If it does not work out, that there are surgeries possible to repair things. Not sure that is a great option, I don’t see how they could correct that.
The level of double vision is extreme when I am driving, but near-in … looking at a computer screen … seems to be okay. If that deteriorates, I should be able to keep going by wearing an eye patch and using one eye.
Needless to say, I am terrified. The one thing I do not want to lose is my sight.
