Just need a few prayers for my health...

Just want to ask for some prayers regarding my health. There are a lot of things going on with me, and the pain is becoming difficult to deal with.I have been so blessed these last few months, and I know my HP can also answer my prayers for recovery from all the health problems I am facing. Thanks in advance for the prayers...
You guys here are the best pain relievers available. I am grateful for each and evry one of ya. I mean that with all my heart.

We had a heavy snow fall last night. It is beautiful and magic looking out. I have to get out there and shovel. we receieve fines here if we don not shovel our sidewalks in a reasonable amount of time......I love to shovel snow, but my hands are swollen with a rash and cuts all over the fingers and hands. It is going to be painful..but LOL with the cold I'll have a redaily available ice pack!!

Remember, I pray for each of you all too. I know we all have our struggles and pain to deal with. Love you everyone, God Bless.

You are in my prayers.Can you see a dermatologist about your hands?I get contact dermatitis which is aggravated by cold weather,dampness and(of course)stress.I get a prescription ointment for it.Not cheap,but it's the only thing that clears it up.

Take care of yourself...k?

Thank you all so much. I just feel like I am falling apart. Right now I can feel the bad discs in my back bulging and throbbing, and it's swollen around it...I hate not being able to go full force mad dashing like a mad woman decorating and doing all I need to. But I must deal with reality too. I only hurt myself further when I do too much. The problem with my hands I should have taken care fo years ago. the neuro doc found a strange reading on some test he did. I was having real panic attacks driving and just couldn't make it to Dallas to see the specialist. I could just kick my a** for not trying harder to go see him when I DID have insurance, I am going to be more responsible when it come sto taking care of my health. I can't very well pray to my HP for His will and intervention then do it my way and block my prayers from being answered because I WAS IN MY OWN WAY...AGAIN LOL..gotta work on Letting Go..Letting God....Thanks so mucjh for being TRUE friends you all. Wish I could invite ya all over for hot chocolate and marshmallow roast and just talk with each other ya know? give ya all a big ole hug and tell you f2f how much you guys help keep me going.

:mj :star

Hi Tammie, I'm on board for the hot chocolate and marshmallows. We're expecting 12 inches of snow here this evening and tonight. Ick!

So sorry that you're feeling badly and I'm glad you're planning to take care of yourself well from now on. Isn't it ironic that we never worry about taking care of ourselves until something is wrong? How I wish I had taken better care of myself earlier. But, all we have is today, right! Anyways, Phoenix is right about your hands, I believe.

Your're always in my prayers.

Hugs and love,
Anna

Steve, your boy sounds so adorable!!! My kids have been having fun sledding in the back yard. Little Dillon's comment about more snow to go faster is so precious!!! Kids are the greatest!! Little angels they are! I love making angels in the snow with them....

I don't believe in God, but you do, so I have said a prayer for you.
Hope it helps.
Health and peace to you and may your god bless you.

Thanks, Rotten. I am a spiritual person, not a religious one, and I struggled fir many years for a concept of God, I believe he/she is an energy/a life force that created us..so has the patent and copyright to what just might help us get through this tough world. I see'God" everywhere, nature, people, "coincidences", someone/something created this planet and the people that inhabited it, I'm not sure I would have created "me" LOL...Thanks for your kindness and the prayer. Prayer is to me a positive menatl kinda telepathy. I don't believ prayer "goes up to the Big Guy in the sky" I think it is the positive flow of happy and healing thoughts that makes miracles and healing occur. Some find this contriversial, my mother has afit, thinks I am close to being a "pagan" who cares if I was, God "our creator" made them too. We shoild respect veryone and their belief system...sorry, just had to share. I am not out to offer you "religion" "spirituality" or anything. I accept people where theyw are, It's their business what their Hp is or isn't.

Thanks again......

Hey, I hope you didn't take it the wrong way. It was genuinely meant. It sounds like you are in a lot of pain, so I figured it couldn't harm to try and help.

Good Morning Tammie

I do hope you are feeling a bit better now ! How are the hands ?

Personally I am in Rottens camp, re God lol, but I LOVE your concept , it sounds very sensible, and comforting to me , as they say , a higher power AS YOU UNDERSTAND it ! and yours sounds wonderful!

My prayers are with you also

HUGX

You're always in my prayers girl.

I wish we were all close, I'd shovel for you. Can't they make an acception there about snow removal? I bet they would if they knew how your hands are, jeepers. I can't imagine shoveling with sore hands, it's a hard enough job as it is.

Anyway you can count on me for extra prayers Tammie, I hope you feel better soon, hate seeing you in pain.

LOTS AND LOTS OF LOVE AND HUGS......Denise

Thanks for asking my friend..honestly they still hurt pretty bad got em all bandaged up, typing with a few fingers, today it is my back giving me the most pain but bought me a infraed heat massager, it helps a bit, and I do exercises for it. Got to get some medical insurance soon and get it fixed though. I want to grow YOUNGER not older...LOL!!!

Thanks so much for thinking of me...

It took me years to find spirituality I could relate to understand live with, I was raised in a very religious and dysfunctional home. Sometime I got my a** beat if I was too embarrassed or anxious to go...kinda made me hate religious things, but my creator wants the best for me, for all of us.He/she/it designed me so he must know what I need. I just have to get quiet and listen down close to my heart..the answers come when I am still and shut out all distraction. Glad you understood my views on it. Some peopel think me weird or "a back sliding christian" but that's okay...I know what has been revealed to me and done for me by my HP....and no person can take that from me...ever. It does give me peace.

***hugs***
