Dear "PRAYERS FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS" Prayer warriors.

To all those who offered up their prayers to me, they worked!

(Posted on Facebook last time and after a good sleep I wanted to say this to all the FReepers who prayed for me.)
I went to my radiation and chemo treatments scared to death. Good old Greg Allen drove me there and back and I will give him a gold star for his efforts.
I had a lot of pain holding my arms back while in the infernal radiation machine that whirled about me shooting left over parts of the Little Boy bomb at my cancer. Yet the good meds the doc gave me kicked in and the pain did not last very long after I got out the radiation's grip and put my arms down.
Then 30 minutes later I was in the chair for my chemo. My pucker factor was on high alert but the pin that went into my Bard Power Port hardly hurt at all.
Nurse Carrie stared the drip and I laid back with a book to try and read while I expected to shortly be puking up a storm over everything in creation.
Then--
Then--
Then nothing really happened. I sat there for near four hours while the nurses dripped different chemo drugs into my port.
I kept reading and every time they asked how I was, I said, "Okay."
I kept awaiting the "Big N" but the nausea never came. I felt a little bloated but nothing else that my fear has me feeling--
The nurse told me to stay well hydrated as it would really help. Brother am I going to stay hydrated!
After it was over I made it out to get in Greg's truck for a ride home. He asked how I was and I said, "Better than I ever expected to be!"
Now I am at home after taking just as a precaution, one of the anti-nausea pills. I've eaten a banana and washing down some crackers with cold water and all seems well.

FReeper InFool7(me) has an update on Ryan

Thank you to everyone that is praying for our family.
I just spoke with Janet and read some of the prayers that have been posted here, she can feel your prayers warmly comforting her and the entire family.
it was found that Ryan had four drugs in his system at the time of his death: Marijuana, Methadone, Heroin and Fentanyl

Please pray for an end to this terrible scourge that is plaguing our young adults.

I have also learned that a friend (had moved away about five years ago) and brother knight, Lance from my council has passed away.
Please Pray for Lance and his family
Eternal rest grant unto Lance O Lord and
may perpetual light shine upon him
may his soul and all the souls of the faithfully departed
through the Mercy of God rest in peace.

Beloved FR Family:

Bender2,
I will continue to pray for you and your treatment and that The Lord Almighty, who is our sole provider, gives you His peace, love, grace, and understanding.
We pray as a family, and Jesus said in Matthew 18:20 this:

“For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”

1 Corinthians 5:4 also states this as well. Regardless of what happens in this life, leave the consequences to God (Proverbs 3:5-6).

You are not alone FRiend!

infool7:
Dear one, I’m also praying for your family and that the disease of addiction leaves your family, and they find renewed hope beyond all understand in Christ - in The Holy Name of Jesus Christ.
Praying for all of your family and you as well.
