Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving

I am thankful for my family that I got to see for the holiday that flew in and for my family here. I am also thankful that God gave me a few good IH days. Prior to family flying in I was down with one of the worst headaches. I thought, no please not this week. I prayed for God to please not let me be sick with a headache while they were here. Thankfully God granted my prayer. They flew out at 5am this morning and at 1130am I woke up with a slight headache. LOL I have to keep my sense of humor in dealing with this condition. I have to remind myself not to give into it, although some days it is very hard when your vision is blurred or doubled and your head feels like it is going to explode.

So today I pray for at least a couple more days with no headache and today I pray for no nausea from the infusion therapy that I started on Wednesday.

Hoping for better days!

Prayers are answered

A good friend suggested that prayers needed to be specific. She was so right.

I received a call from my son that I had not heard from in 2 months until yesterday. Unfortunately I was on the phone with the pharmacist and really needed to take the call so I asked him to call back in 10 minutes. He always calls from a private number. So I have been on pins and needles waiting for a call back.

Today I prayed specifically that he would call me back today and let me know that he is OK. So I have been jumping every time the phone rings. Finally this evening he called back. He is well and in San Diego. Says he is taking care of some legal issues and will be there for the next 4 to 6 weeks. He sounded good and unfortunately the call was too short but my prayer was answered.

On the medical front, I am frustrated and don't know where to turn. At this point I am praying for healing. I had my first infusion of gammagloblin, took 4 hours and the next one I have to do on my own. So I am praying that this will work and that I will feel better soon and hopefully this will help with all the IH/PTC.

Thanks to everyone for their support!!!

Today's prayer

Today I am praying for my friend Sharon who is fighting leukemia and a torn rotator cuff at the same time. She needs surgery but cannot have surgery because of the leukemia right now. She is in so much pain, from the shoulder and new chemo meds. I pray God give her strength and take her pain away so that she may rest comfortably and heal.

I also pray for my discussion board friends that are dealing with pseudo tumor cerebri. We would all like a little relief from the daily headaches and have a little bit more energy just to do the simple things like take care of our family and home.

God bless.

My current prayer

Today I received some bad news regarding a medical condition. So I am having my day of pouting and doubting. I happen to see an episode of Oprah today about John of God, a man in Brazil that seems to have some healing powers. Some believe that he can heal not only the physical body but also the soul. Watching the episode it made me realize that I need to do some healing of my own.

So I have started this blog to post my daily prayer and so that others can post thier daily prayer as well. In numbers there is strength.

Today my prayer is for guidance in finding the right treatment and that treatment will be successful.
