Asking for prayer

[Michie]

Thanks to everyone for your prayers, I know prayer works and I appreciate all I can get.
My name is Randy if that makes it easier

I’m getting ready to say my nightly prayers. Giving your name makes it much easier.

I'm starting Weight Watchers again Monday, St Patrick's Day.
I had lost 60 pounds but I haven't been able to work out since July and I have gained 70 pounds back.
I'm also going to make an effort to walk with my walker more and more around more. It's painful at times but I need to do it.
I can make it to my appointments by myself now, it's quite a feat to put my walker in the car and get in and out but I get it done and it's good to have some independence.
Thanks again for the prayers

I made it to 3 appointments by myself this week but it was painful afterwards. I go back to the doctor tomorrow for the cellulitis. It has not improved.
I started Weight Watchers but fell off the wagon after 3 days. I’m starting over tomorrow.
i’m going to get up and walk every 2 hours and eventually work to
doing it every hour.
I appreciate the prayers always. I need prayers for the pain to ease up, for the cellulitis to go away, for the lymphedema to get under control and to be able to walk again.
Also for more faith, that I don’t get discouraged and that I stay positive
Thank you. God bless you

I went to the lymphedema clinic today and now I’m in a lot of pain when I walk with the walker. My breathing is bad and my wife thinks something is wrong. I don’t know, the pain makes me breathe harder and the antibiotics have my stomach messed up so I hope it’s just that

Were the medical staff concerned or explain what’s going on?

It’s a physical therapy clinic, they’re just treating the lymphedema. I saw a NP Saturday and had a chest x-ray and they didn’t see anything.
They have a doctor there and they are going to be my primary doctor now and I won have to drive 70 miles to the doctor anymore

Thanks again for the prayers. Praying for a miracle. Praying for my friends with cancer and my friends on the forums, feeling a little anxious. It helps knowing that people are praying for me
Thank you all

I’m going to be starting physical therapy next week along with the lymphedema clinic

Hello friends I hate to be needy but I need some things to start going my way to give me some hope.
Thursday the lymphedema clinic had not gotten the order for the regular physical therapy, I called the surgeon's office and they said they would call them.
Hopefully I can start PT this week in addition to the lymphedema therapy and maybe see a little progress.
I ordered some crutches and if I can get around on them okay I think that will make it easier getting in and out of the car.
As it is I have to fold my walker, stick it in the back, then hold on to the car with both hands to make it to the front and get in, then do the reverse when I get out.
I've been off antibiotics for a couple of weeks but my stomach is still messed up.
The insurance company has still not made a decision and I haven't got paid since December. If they don't approve my long term disability I am going to have to take more out of my IRA.
And it will be around the end of the year before Social Security makes a decision on the disability.
I can draw Social Security in December when I turn 62 if I don't get disability but either way it won't be enough.
I need to make enough progress to be able to work a part time job by then.
I really wish I could go back to my job they extended my leave until June 1st so that will be 9 months they have given me.
I appreciate the prayers I just want to keep thinking positive and not get anxious or depressed.
Please pray for my wife too, this has been so hard on her, having to work, take care of me and do the things that I used to do.
Thanks everyone, I feel better just being able to post about it
