  • PRAYER REQUEST

    It seems like all I've got done this week is go one kind of doctor or another, and I'm kinda tired out.

    I've made 3 trips to my speech therapist and 2 trips to the doctor. They are trying to figure out what is wrong with me.  Poor Pop has tried for years and hasn't figured out yet.

    The speech therapist thinks there is something going on besides just speech. My symptoms are........Dysarthria (speech), Dysphagia (swallowing) weakness in my upper arms and legs.  Soreness in my upper arms and legs. Dry eyes and dry skin (the last two I contribute to living in Idaho)   

    The doctor I went to Wedensday set me up for some tests and those were done today.  Most of those came back clear, but he streched my esophagus.  I was asleep, but after I came home, well, I've always thought I could handle pain as long as no one was messing with me.  But after I came home about everytime I would swallow, I would raise up out of my chair.  It's getting better now, and I am thankful for that.  But I guess it wouldn't be a doctor if he didn't find something wrong...........He says I have an ulcer in my stomach.  I would argue with him, because I never have heartburn and my stomah never hurts.  but he gave me a picture of it.  Now I love pretty pictures but folks, this ain't purtty.  I don't even think I'll put it on my post.

    Now the worrisome part, he told Pop he wants me to come back in so he can do a biopsy of it, because........(and he told Pop not to tell me) The Dr. wants to check it for  cancer.  I guess I don't want to cry wolf, wolf because I think it can't be, but would you be so kind as to pray for me that it is NOT.  I feel selfish when I think of all the people that have it worse, but for now this is my trial, and I think God understands.

    I have a day by day book of quotes and today it says........

    ASK AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN YOU; SEEK AND YOU WILL FIND....Matthew 7:7 niv

    And from the deepest recesses of our beings we cry out: LORD! And that is enough.
