Prayer Forum (2)

[seajoy]

Sorry to bother everyone once again with the same old thing, over and over....but my depression has set in once again. I cannot go into the hospital because our insurance ran out for this year.

There are some things happening in my family that I can't talk about. I wish I was tougher like so many of you.

Please pray for me....I feel so down. I won't be posting much in the main forum. Most everything I say right now is just out of place and makes no sense.

Thank you,

Prayer has been very powerful. I am feeling much better. Thanks everyone. And all praise to God for lifting that heavy weight off of me once more.

We finally have a date scheduled for my DH's surgery on his broken foot. It is supposed to be this coming Thursday the 9th, at 1 PM. Supposed to take about 3 hrs, then about 3 days in the hospital. Hopefully it won't get 'bumped' - he already got bumped from 7:30 am to 1:00 pm.

Wouldn't you know- this is production week for the play I am in. Thursday night is dress rehearsal, then Fri-Sat-Sun performances. Not exactly a committment I can get out of. Whew- I will be sooooooooo very glad when this week is over....

I hope all goes well. Foot surgery would not be a lot of fun.

God's blessings

One more day of trial, I think. I'm much, much better, but still coughing and wheezing. I fell on the way to the courthouse Monday - my arms and legs are sore and I have a huge bruise on one knee. Most importantly, didn't tear my suit. I know this isn't as important, but since it's been 6 years since I worked a trial, I've been nervous, but not as bad because I'm feeling your prayers.

 

[WildStrawberry]

I'm glad you're feeling better and I hope your coughing 'n stuff goes away soon!

Um, can I haz prayers plz??

I found out yesterday that I have type II diabetes. I'm not at all shocked or surprised or anything about this but, dieting and I are very very...um...contentious. We so don't get along.

So, could y'all pray that I'll learn to overcome my gluttony (*sigh* I've been asking for forgiveness for that sin for ages!) and my cravings so I can lose the weight and hopefully reverse the diabetes?

Love y'all!

Prayers to all!

Flipper, so sorry to hear about your fall- I hate it when that happens! But like you said, at least the suit is ok! Hope your day at court goes well.

Kae- prayers for you to be able to manage your diabetes. Dieting sucks- I do know that. I have done the South Beach diet and it really worked for me- the first 2 weeks are horrible but then it gets better. The reason I mention that diet is becuase I think it might be a good diet for diabetics too. Something to check into, anyway.

 

[WildStrawberry]

Thanks LC. I have the South Beach Diet book and have thought about starting it many times...guess I just might have to do so this time huh? *G*

Thanks for the prayers. We lost. We were expecting it. It was a simple case, but had some complications that the jury couldn't get around. It's a shame because I wish all our clients were like the guy we were representing and his wife. Good Christian people.

Kae - I swear by Weight Watchers. At almost every meeting, a dedicated member is saying they were told by their doctor they don't have to take their diabetes medicine, blood pressure medicine or cholesterol medicine anymore. For you, it's especially good if you do the Core Plan. It's sort similar to the South Beach Diet in that it encourages carbs from whole grains, but not nearly as restrictive. The Core has certain foods you can eat as much as you want until you are full. Those include milk, just about all fruits and vegies, whole grains, and lean meat. If you go off the Core, you just count points and you get so many points per week.

The South Beach Diet isn't as bad, but I'm leery of any low carb diet, even as a diabetic. When you cut out too much carbs and add in too much protein, you get ketones in your urine (bad) it can lead to ketoacidosis (coma, death) - which as a diabetic you are already suceptible to.

I know with diabetes, carbs are an issue, but with Type II, you are still producing insullin, but just not as well as you need - and even if you get it under control and your A1Cs normal, you will have this the rest of your life. The drugs your doctor will give you don't give you insullin, it just makes your pancreas produce it better. An all around nutritious diet and exercise will keep your pancreas from working so hard, so it doesn't get worse.

Praying!

Flipper, I'm sorry y'all lost the case.

I love Weight Watchers actually and my cradle buddy and I are trying to work it so that I can always get to a meeting. (not driving SUCKS!) I have the CORE food lists and I currently have the monthly plan active which gives me computer access. I just need to remember to USE it! *G*

Thanks for the info. I've been staying away from the carbohydrates right now but decided to have some grapes last night...felt a little sick after that but I'm not sure if it was the grapes or the medicine (metformin) since I know the met can make you nauseated in the first week or so.

I do have to say, I'm already feeling better. Woke up today with no headache which is a first for about a month! Now, if I can just get the bathroom situation to settle down...

By the authority invested in me ... as a Moderator ... ... consider yourself forgiven ... (saying a quick prayer that the Lord will let me slide on this one ... )

I know that I also need to eat right.
I really like broiled chicken, but I seldom plan concerning eating ... and when I get home, I need to eat now.
So ... take-out food ...

I hope and pray you get on a right track.

Thanks,
Ed

Thanks Ed! Can I come back each time I need to do so?

The positive feelings during the weekend did not last long. I was hospitalized monday evening. I just came home this afternoon. Hopefully my meds are all straightened out now.

My Pastor came and visited me...and read from Psalm 73. It was a real comfort for me. I try not to ask "why me" anymore. God knows best. But this was sure a rough one. I felt like I was dying inside.

God used a med change to help me, and I thank Him for it. Doing that "one day at a time" thing.

seajoy

Thanks for listening once more.

ps....my blood tests did not come out well at the rheumatologist. I have to have more tests on Oct 23rd. I have inflamation somewhere in my body, but they don't know where or why.
Sorry about your diabetes, Kae.

I think I was allowed to get away with this this time.
