  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Praying for the needs of those who post or are associated with those of us who post. Praying for all of your marriages, health and safety. Lord please cause all of my friends and their family members be happy, healthy and safe. I pray that you will show Curtis direction and heal his broken spirit and his broken heart. I pray for all those here who are in need and have not expressed a desire for prayer. I thank you for the things you have already done for them and I thank you for those things that you will do. I especially thank you for those needs (of ours) that were met without us even knowing we had a need. I ask you to intercede in broken relationship and heal them like only you can. I ask that you give us the spirit of forgiveness towards each other and towards those we love. Lord, where physical pain is present send relief. Renew our bodies and energize us and help us to do those things that are healthiest for us. Thanks for loving us God and thanks for being so patient. Please be with those who have recently lost love ones and comfort them. I know there is a time to mourn. You said so in your scripture but please be with us when we must and comfort us all the same. In Jesus name, Amen.

Amen and Amen! Thank you for such a beautiful prayer.

Your son and his family will remain in my prayers. May God provide every need.

:prayer:

Lord, I am in your hands
and have no dread of what is to come
Strengthen and comfort my 'loved ones', I pray
:amen:

Hi everyone :wave:

I received a copy of the hospital's diagnosis [recent tests] this morning



1. Severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction with mild to moderate mitral regurgitation
2. Peripheral Vascular Disease- bilateral ileac and femoral angioplasties previously
3. COPD
4. Hypertension

The patient is on inhalers but these were only started recently
and in retrospect the diagnosis of airways disease [virus]
may in fact indicate heart failure
There is no family history of premature coronary disease
although his Mother had cerebral infarctions

On examination,
Heart rate was 96 per minute
Blood pressure was elevated at 162/82
Venous pressure was not elevated and heart sounds were normal
Chest was resonant to percussion and clear

Resting ECG demonstrated sinus rhythm with Q was in V1 and V2
and voltage criteria for left ventricular hypertrophy
Echocardiogram demonstrated severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction
with mild to moderate mitral regurgitation
I note renal function in March of this year was normal, urea 7.5, creatinine 74

I had initially suspected that the heart failure is most likely to be ischaemic in origin
given the established peripheral vascular disease and associate vascular risk factors
however, review of the echocardiograhic images shows global rather than regional
left ventricular systolic dysfunction with concentric left ventricular hypertrophy
suggesting possible hypertensive heart disease

Regardless of aetiology, it is clearly important to establish appropriate
prognostically important heart failure therapy here. I would be grateful
if you could initiate Ramipril 1.25 mg and aim to upitrate this as tolerated
Once established on Ramipril, we shall also initiate a beta-blocker
which could also be upitrated
I will ask the heart failure nursing team to see him for educational purposes
and for monitoring of upitration
It may be that we can discontinue the Nifepidene once he is established on
heart failure therapy although I would not do this currently given the elevated blood pressure readings
We will review him in eight weeks and determine whether any further imaging is required

Specialist Registrar in Cardiology


Well,
now, I know, a lot more than I did before

oh no..Mr Dave,,,,,,heart failure is not so good,,,
what drs going to do?
ill be praying for you?

What is going to happen now... ???

I am changing meds.... to Ramipril
~to protect my heart, kidneys and liver

Once I have reached the dosage of this medicine
~that which is appropriate, for 'me' then, I will also be given a Beta-Blocker

The hospital will decide later [via monitoring]
WHAT, if anything 'else', NEEDS to be done

I may need to apply, for Mobility Allowance...~ to help me 'get-around'
But, it is early-days, as they say

And, of-course, I am in His hands :hug:

Thank you for your prayers Mary Sis'

your Bro'

I heard a pastor read this scripture after hearing from a dr that he had cancer. I keep remembering it in light of my mortality. Helps me to see God's ultimate plan is for me to be with Him in spite of earthly circumstances. I need these words often and thank the lord for them.
9 For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him. 11 Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.
1 Thess 5:9-11

:sigh:anytime Mr Dave,,,
i have alot of confidence in Drs i believe God works thru them..

today is a rough day for me,,,,,,
my husbands family is leaving for Cuba today for 15 days..
idk if my husband is going.....but i feel like this is goodbye for me,,
i dont feel like part of their family anymore,,,,its just not the same anymore,,,
my husband last days of work was yesterday....
idk whats going to happen next,,,,
i just wish things were like they were many yrs ago,,,,when everyone go along
and me and my husband were together,,
i think about him all day,,,i guess i still love him very much,,,,,
and i feel for my son,,him and my mother in law are close

:hug:

I would have-to lean upon something stronger than me, just to get through each day
As I have already told you, I too suffered such an emotional torment
:hug:
It hardly seems fair at-all, that the focus of your love [hubby] has refocussed his heart
[away from you]

As for finding and repairing, the 'reason-for', these changes
It can become a mind mitherer and lead to deep depressions [ais before]

Maybe, such a change, was [long ago] written into your book of life
and, like me, you too, will be led to someone... who will truly appreciate YOU

I can offer you words from the bible, in the hope
that you will become 'stronger' and more trusting of yourself, today and, in future

Because I know that you folks pray with diligence, please keep a friend, Jackie and her daughter, Mandy and grandsons in your prayers. Her daughter's husband had a wreck on father's day and passed away just today. The grandsons are all young, Mandy is only 36. Mandy lives in Oklahoma and her mom, Jackie lives in Australia so Mandy is alone at this sad time. Jackie is coming but until then, please pray for the strength of two mother's who are heart broken. Thank you so much. \
