Prayer and pixie dust requests--Updated May 2

[liplocked murder]

A friend of mine died yesterday. He was thrown from the back of a truck and flipped and his brain swelled and he died 9 hours later. Please keep myself and his family in your prayers.


Also I'm just coming to find out the lead singer of Something Corporate, my favourite band, has been diagonosed with Lukemia. Please keep him in your prayers too. He is my hero and I cried when I found out about this. That's how much this means to me.


Thanks,
Sam

Well Lisa, Tons of PD coming your waysd & continued prayers. Have you made arrangements to have a motorized sit down thingee at your disposal should you need it? It might be worth it to have it on hold for you.

Pain easily can lead to depression all by itself. My thoughts & prayers are w/you.

Tiger Fan We have been praying for you. Have a great time with your family at WDW..enjoy!! Cathie

Thank you all for the prayers and PD. Yes, Tink, I have my own ECV I literally am unable to walk now so a wheelchair or ECV are a necessity now, not just helpful. I'm having another tough day emotionally. I just feel so depressed and upset that I'm not getting better physically and this trip is almost here. We stopped today at Belk's to pick up a couple of shirts for DD and I did something that I've not done in the entire 5 years that I've been battling cancer and that was get angry. I actually felt anger at this womam because she was walking, yep, just walking past me. I almost started to cry and I then I was so mad at myself for being angry at some stranger for doing absolutely nothing. I just kept thinking, she's just walking around and not even thinking about how much it hurts me to do something that we all take for granted. I think about how I lived before cancer and just went about doing things and never stopping to think how lucky I was that I could walk, talk, breathe easily, get in the car and run errands or whatever. Right now, it takes much preperation and planning for me to go anywhere. I'm so worried that this trip is going to be impossible since the pain is so bad. I'm writing all this and rambling, but it's helpful for me to vent. I really hate to just cry and complain to my family all the time so I'll just write it out here. Thanks you guys for listening and as always keeping me in your thoughts and prayers.

Lots of prayers, PD and good thoughts to Lisa, Beth, Steve, Sam & your friend's family, Pixie_Dust, and others who are suffering to be pain free. May God give you strength and find peace in you hearts.

Lisa, hang in there, God do hear our prayers. I cried reading your post. I was at DW last year with an electric scooter because I developed neuropathy from my chemo treatment. My feet was in so much pain, but it was my best Disney trip. I cried as I entered the Magic Kingdom park in my scooter. I was just so happy to be there, and all the sudden my feet was not as painful anymore. I feel lucky that even thought I was sick but at least I get to go to the happiest place on earth DW with my family instead of being sick in bed in some poor country that lack medical needs or clean water. I feel that each day is a gift from God as I am able to be with my children, and husband. Lisa, I hope that your pain will subside and you will enjoy your Disney trip.

Beth, hope your surgery went well and wish you a speedy recovery.

Lisa, Hang tight. You can do this trip and enjoy yourself. You deserve it!

I do not have what you have but I too find myself having bad feelings about people just being themselves as they do not realize how lucky they are to not be in pain. I have also had to remind myself that people cannot see what I have so do not realize that I am in physical pain 24/7. We do not know what others might also be carrying around but isn't obvious to the rest of us.

Have a good time & focus on you having a good time.

Do hope everyone in need of prayers, good wishes is doing better today than yesterday, and will be even better yet tomorrow. Looking for you to check back in, Beth, you are being called for on the 'survivors' thread. And Lisa, I do hope your trip is bringing you all the smiles I have seen on you before. My very best for everyone here.

 

[snappy]

I am hoping the pain subsides so you can enjoy your trip, Lisa. Prayers sent for you. May God bless you.

 

[Pea-n-Me]

Lisa. Here's some P&PD that you are able to enjoy your trip.

Hi DIS friends. Wanted to ask for prayer please. Have been feeling really depressed the last few days......not sure why (I do have to be careful as it is easy for me to be depressed and depression runs in our family). Just feel kind of down about everything. Just not sure where to go with life in general. Feel like I'm wasting my time at a dead end job......working another job to pay school tuition for DS which takes away more time from them. Maybe I'm just tired.

 

[Dan Murphy]

's Cristy. Do reach out, and make sure that if you think you need help, in real life, don't wait, get help. I do hope things improve.

 

[allisonwonderland]

prayers and pixie dust to you sweetie.Please pm me if you wanna talk.I know what you mean about in running in the family(same here) anyway,,feel free to PM me.....

 

[live4christp1]

Thanks for your prayers allisonwonderland and Dan Murphy. Have been playing outside in the yard with my kids in the evening which has helped with the down mood somewhat. My thoughts are really what it boils down to is not being content which I usually don't have a problem with. Have just been thinking about our companies tuition reimbursement plan and where will I be in 10 years but I also have no idea of anything I want to pursue and that I will later regret not taking advantage of this offer.

Guess I really should ask for pray for God's direction in my life.

Thanks for listening and caring.

...to the mother of Luther Vandross. Her son Luther, age 54, died today in an Edison, NJ hospital....he will be greatly missed

A big thank you to everybody who sent prayers & pixie dust for my friend Steve who had to be hospitalized for a tracheostomy removal. He was sent to Boston over a month ago from our local hospital when they had refused to remove his temporary trach which they had put in for gall bladder surgery.( Steve has muscular dystrophy with respiratory failure, he has been breathing on a ventilator non-invasively for 20 yrs.) The awesome news is that his trach was removed successfully at Spaulding Rehab in Boston yesterday! He should be able to go home next week & is now breathing again non-invasively! I am so glad we sought a second opinion for Steve. Boston has the best doctors around! God bless! Cathie

I have gotten to know many of our servicemen serving in Iraq so well...that they feel like family.

I just got an email this morning from one of these guys (he was answering an email of mine about whether or not they could use batteries in their care packages). He told me I might not hear from him for a while - he had to "go out" and specifically requested that we pray for their saftey.

I figured the more prayers the better - so I figured I'd turn to you guys. His name is Omar and I can't say enough about him - I'm sure he'd appreciate it.

THanks everyone!

After reading all the posts I kind of feel silly posting this but my DH has been out of work since Jan 11th. He knew it would be a while before he found something as many in his field were moved out of NY, but he figured he had time to find something he really wanted. He's been putting resumes out since then with few takers. In the interim, I broke my foot and he drove me back and forth to work for 2 months without every complaining. He took over all the household chores and took care of my 87 yr old mother llike she was his own while I was laid up. He never said a bad word or complained. He spent the summer off with me, going on a few interviews, but now that I am back at work (I'm a teacher) he finally said that he has had it being home and will take the first thing that comes along.

So please pray that something comes along soon that will make him happy. His last job ran him right into the ground and I know he would have had serious medical problems if he was still there. I want him to find something that will make him happy. He deserves it more than anyone I know. We've been married 28 yrs and he is still my best friend.

Thank you friends.
