My friend T has got a thrombosis causing pain -this should be treatable but he has been told 'no more chemo, only symptom control from now on'. Praying that he can come home from hospital soon and have the type of excellent palliative care that I know the NHS is capable of.
I'm with a very poorly grandson Huxley/ Little Beaky today. Raised temperature leading to raised number of seizures poor little boy.
Thank you for your prayers
Ms. C appears to have an abscessed tooth whose swelling has closed her right eye. She is on antibiotics and has a follow up meeting with the dentist on Monday.
Please pray for my friend Scott M‘s husband Craig, who has a tumor. (I thought I had posted this before, but apparently I never clicked on post comment.) sending up prayers for people here and others.
Prayers would be appreciated for my sister, B, who is undergoing one of the most distressing life events that one can endure, not by accident or her own choice.
Prayers for @Hugal welcomed. We are on holiday in Orlando and he was taken to hospital yesterday with a hyperglycemic (sp?) spike. The staff at the hospital and the hotel are all wonderful and we are well looked after.
Sad to have to cancel our planned meet-up with @ChastMastr but at least we managed to meet with @jedijudy and family.
Hoping @Hugal is discharged tonight, but if not, tomorrow.
After chasing up the second job, it turns out they won't need me after all. This is a very alarming situation to be in, as I'm severely restricted in what jobs I can look for and my current job doesn't pay enough.
Today I have to sort out the Telemum's bills as well as my own. This is going to be a monumental task, and I'm having trouble dealing with the reality of it all.
The CHC funding is denied, so the Telemum will have to manage on minimum pension.
At my current job we are applying for funding for full-time work from May. That would keep me employed for 11 months. That's the only realistic prospect in sight, given my situation. This in fact seems to be the exact answer to prayer I was asking for, if it comes to fruition. I know I should still be looking for other jobs in the meantime but I am having trouble mustering the capacity.
I still cannot leave the house. I had my third Carer's Assessment last Friday; hopefully it will stick this time and result in some action. In the meantime I'm expected to run all my errands during each of the two 15-minute timeslots when the carers are here.
The Telemum continues to fade before my eyes. However, she is comfortable, and as content as anyone in her situation can be. I'm grateful for all these financial complexities because it helps keep my mind off things.
For @Hugal, for healing and prompt discharge from hospital. And for @Gill H.
Okay, now the Telemum is in fast atrial fibrillation and will have to go into hospital if it doesn't calm down within the next hours.
I would rather have the financial worries please. (Just kidding, I'd rather not have any worries. But I'd rather experience almost anything than this.) (Put that monkey's paw away.)
Prayers for everybody and especially for telepath and Telemum.
And for you too, dear ChastMastr!
Thank you!
Health Quest: Just got done with my medical call and it looks like they’re going to look into some options for me for either a way of dealing with Ozempic financially or another med. Fingers crossed!
Unexpectedly two classes were canceled on me so I’m down to eight classes for this semester and I hope that will be enough. I was worried that 10 would be too many, but that decision was taken out of my hands.
Thank you for all your prayers. My friend, T, died yesterday in hospital with his son holding him and a syringe driver providing the usual 'Holy Trinity' of palliative care meds.
NZ has been experiencing very wet weather. One of the worst affected places has been Tauranga on the east coast of the North Island. It's a popular holiday spot. They have had torrential rain and a mudslide engulfed a camping place. There have been 6 deaths. Attempts to rescue people or dig out the bodies have been stopped due to ongoing rain and the threat of further slips.
Christchurch - where I live, has had a week of rain and some strong winds, but no flooding.
Please pray for my mum, some genius decided to discharge her on Friday with a broken arm with no moving and handling guidance and when not mobilising with no equipment and without checking how her care package would be enhanced in the light of this.
We had to get her ambulance transferred back to hospital last night - left her in the corridor at A&E at 4am last night when she’d finally been seen by a doctor. She was transferred to an actual ward this afternoon.
Things are in train to get her back home by the middle of next week, with appropriate care and equipment,
(She didn't have a broken arm when she first went to A&E last Sunday - she’d had a fall and said she’d hit her head - there was insufficient supervision in A&E whilst she was waiting for her brain scan and another patient fell into her and landed on top of her, which is how she ended up with massive bruising and her arm broken in two places. I will be speaking to PALS on Monday, we haven’t even got a duty of candour letter yet.)
And for @ChastMastr's meds to be provided abundantly and affordably. And for enough classes to keep body and soul together.
For @Scots Lass and Scots Mum. For Scots Mum to continue to be doing well.
For @Merry Vole in the loss of T. For upholding for T's son, and for all who mourn T.
I've had a horrible day today dealing with matters of death and taxes. I also have to write a grant for work, which my boss was on the verge of abandoning because she's swamped, but which represents my one realistic path to keeping the lights on for the next 11 months. BUT HEY, NO PRESSURE.
Despite my demeanour, every single prayer I've ever uttered for how I would want this to unfold (since it must unfold) has been answered.
I am deeply grateful that the Telemum's needs are met, that she is saved, that she is comfortable, that she is content in my company with such comfort as I can offer her.
I am deeply grateful that I have the exact employment situation that suits my immediate needs, and that I can see the next stepping stone in front of me if only I don't slip.
For all affected by the rains in NZ, especially those six people lost in Tauranga, Lord have mercy. For Christchurch where @Huia lives.
For @Doublethink's mother, what a situation! For her to be safe, and healed, and her needs met without delay.
Praying for all, especially @Doublethink and mother.
For @Telepath 's faithfulness in prayer, for the Telemum and that the next stepping stone may be reached safely and the path ahead made clear.
Lord, in your mercy.

I'm so very glad we could see Gill and Hugal and especially sorry they won't be able to see ChastMastr.

I've kind of gone over the edge today.

My mum seems to be doing quite well, which is really something to be thankful for! But it's a long road ahead so continued prayer is much appreciated.
