[bubba's mom]

Bubba's Mom, I'm sorry for you loss. My thoughts & prayers continue to be w/your family.

Thank YOU and everyone else. We are finally home after being in Fla. all last week for the services and such. The weather was so beautiful and good to see family, but difficult circumstances.... It was really hard, and will be so for a while..... time is all we need. Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers (everyone), I just know my MIL is watchin' us from heaven.........

My SIL and BIL have been married 23 years, have 5 children and she is a 6 year breast cancer survivor. She just found out last night that my BIL has been cheating on her with an old girlfriend from high school. Please pray that she will have the strength to get through this. She sounds worse than she did the day she was diagnosed with cancer. Please pray for the children who's ages range from 9-22. And please pray for me, that I will be able to have the wisdom to help her, listen to her, and hopefully someday, forgive him for what he has done to their family. I am devastated, as this was the couple we strive to be like. Loving, great kids, Christian, etc. I can only imagine how she feels. She says she is numb, like she's not really in her body, but floating separately.

Thanks so much.
Mary

So sorry to hear that, Mary. She and you too will be in my prayers. I do hope it goes well for her. Sad.

Could use some prayers and PD. My grandmother fell and broke her hip today Luckily, it's not a bad break but she's having surgery first thing in the morning. Please hold a good thought for her

1. My FIL is having a pacemaker put in tomorrow. DH is very nervous about his father. Please that the surgery will be successful, the doctors will perform flawlessly and DH will have peace as he sits and waits for the outcome.

2. My grandmother passed away on Sunday. My crazy brother was her favorite and last time he was in town (September when my grandfather died) he threatened to kill my older brother. I have alerted the police already to the possibility that he might show up for the funeral even though he says he won't. Please pray that the funeral is peaceful and that my brother stays in his own state. I do not trust him and have made many requests for family to not slip and tell him my last name or that I have children. Does that tell you how much I do NOT trust him?

Thanks so much.

Mary

DH comes home from the gym Tuesday morning after Memorial Day weekend to say he no longer works at his company. He wanted us to have one nice weekend before he told me (although the sink flooded Sunday night and took all Monday to fix).
It turns out has bosses were doing some very dishonest things and made him a scapegoat. But intead of getting him fired, they burned him out and disgusted him to the point he quit. In other words, we don't even have unemployment to live on! I have been sick with worry all week. I have a doctor's appointment this week and asked why couldn't he have talked to me first to at least time it for after my appointment so we didn't lose our benefits. The HR person has not returned his phone calls and his ex-boss was out of town all last week so he couldn't "negotiate" anything (no severance, just a couple of weeks of vacation time they owed him!) He needs to talk to his boss this week and we could really use your prayers.

Also I could use advice on selling our OKW Grand Villa ressie for 12/4 - 12/9. I realized that is worth a lot but I don't use e-Bay (who would spend a couple grand on a new seller?)

Hoping things went well, Mary, with both your FIL's surgery as well as the funeral. A lot on your plate there.

And Pixie_Dust, so sorry to hear your turn of events. One thing you need to do is to at least pick up a temporary health policy, so risky not being covered. As for the OKW thing, maybe ask on one of the DVC boards, or below on the regular Community Board, you can ask anything there. My best.

Thanks for the hugs, Dan. We are eligible for COBRA, but who is supposed to pay for it? It costs a fortune! How ironic that they offer it to the unemployed.

I am having anxiety attacks every day so it is hard for me to logon and talk about it, but I did want to put up this prayer request.

Today the prayers should be that he is able to contact his boss who should be back from her trip and negotiate something, anything! I cannot believe he was going to wait until Wed. to talk to her (if he could even track her down) because he is going down there on our dime to take care of a commitment to some charity organization they work with. I say if he is still working for them he should still be on the payroll rather than saying they replaced him and goodbye. He didn't even get a letter of recommendation from them although they supposedly loved him so much. Yeah, while they set it up to stab him in the back. Unfortunately you can't say stuff like that in a job search or it sounds like you are making excuses.

Having my DIEP reconstruction tomorrow at 6am. The beginning of the end of this long journey! Please wish me luck and pray for my surgeons and nurses. Thank you!

Beth

Prayers for you, Beth. My SIL is a 6 year survivor and had the reconstruction done. You will be fine. You've already dealt with the hardest part. You can definitely handle this. Congratulations!

Thanks everyone for your P&PD. Grandma's funeral was uneventful. My brother didn't come, praise God. My FIL is doing fine after his pacemaker surgery.

Please continue to pray for my friend Steve who has muscular dystrophy with respiratory failure. He was transferred to Mass. General Med Center in Boston (an answer to prayer!) to have his temporary tracheostomy removed,(he had to have it for gall bladder surgery & the doctors at our local hospital could not remove it safely), so he can go back to breathing on his home vent non-invasively. They are starting the procedure to down-size the trach this afternoon & then eventually remove it altogether. Keep all the staff at Mass General in your prayers & also for Steve to be at peace both during & after the procedure. He has been very anxious & depressed & also having difficulty breathing with that trach. Thank you everybody & my prayers go out to all who have posted requests for healing! Cathie

 

[IamTink]

Cathie, Keeping Steve in my thoughts & prayers that all will go well & he'll be home soon. Katie

I'm the first line of the first page of this thread and as always you guys are very supportive and I can't tell you how much I appreciate that. Now, I need some really strong prayers and PD at this time. We leave on Wednesday for a long trip to WDW. I've had my last chemo treatment and feeling very good in that category. The problem is the hip/pelvic/back pain that I'm having. It has made my right leg almost totally lame. I cannot even lift my leg myself to get into bed or in the car, etc. I've had to increase my pain medication to the level that I had last fall in the hospital. I am so worried that I am not going to be able to go, much less enjoy this upcoming trip. These pains have come and gone over the past 5+ years and there is really no rhyme or reason. It's been explained that the tumors get irritated and it takes time, sometimes a week, other times a month to get settled again. I've had times that they radiated them and that doesn't always work. I am asking for widespread prayers (I've also activated the many various prayer lists that I'm on as well) that this pain will subside and that I will be able to be mobile enough and pain free enough to go and enjoy this trip. I've had a really tough day and tonight I cannot sleep at all (thank goodness for the DIS to keep me occupied). I find myself crying non-stop from either pain or depression. If you have a moment, please ask God to help restore strength and movement to my right leg so that I might enjoy this trip with my family. Thank you so much for your continued support.
