My dad's health

I was just asking for anybody who passed by to pray for my dad. He just started feeling bad and remarked that I might have to take him to the ER a few minutes ago. Maybe it is a Satanic attack, today I was talking to my mom about my dad and how they should be thankful for his health. In spite of his minor ailments, he has had a White Blood cell Leukemia that has been in remission for 10-15 years. I told my mom that many Christians, like Pentecostals and Charismatics would consider it a miracle, because back in 1997 when he received the diagnosis 20 years was the maximum that anybody lived with it. And here we are past that, and his blood work is normal etc. (My parents Lutheran background was shy about that kind of thing, even teaching that miracles went away with Apostles previously).


Anyway, thanks for your prayers!

Thanks all, I think your prayers did some good. At some point in the wee hours of the morning he left his recliner that he naps in to sleep in the master bedroom, rather than knock on my door to take him to the ER so I count this a success!

I was less worried when I heard he thought he had Covid last year and the symptoms were worse back then. He of course said he had chest pains, which is worrisome and not something to mess with if it continues. At least with that you get Express Service at the ER in case it is a heart attack. But other conditions can cause it like heart burn.

Back in 2002 or 2003, I experienced something called Costocondratitis which is a bacterial infection of the sternum that causes stabbing pain from the build up of pressure from the gas created by the bacteria exhaling. My best friend and roommate did not want to take me to the ER out of laziness and he saw me walking around just fine where it looked dubious that it was anything like a heart attack. Eventually when the pain grew into stabbing pain, I had to start yelling at him. I however soon learned, that is a condition that they can't really do anything for other than let you take pain medicine and wait for it to eventually go away in a few weeks. So, I was taking X4 the regular dose of Ibupophren for over 3 weeks (I could lower the dose near the end). So that bit of information was valuable (that you could take Ibupophren for it at those levels safely) and worth the full ticket of admission I paid at the time without insurance (Over $500).
