Needing prayers for my family
Posted: September 19th, 2008, 11:03 pm
Hi all.
While I may encourage others to let us know what their needs are for prayers, I usually don't ask for prayers when I know that's what would get me through. However, with that said, I do need to request that you all could send up some prayers on my family's behalf. As you may know my husband (who doesn't follow LDL faithfully) is a diabetic with high blood pressure and high cholesterol. He also works part time outside the home. Just about 1 year ago, he was injured on the job (carpal tunnel syndrome) and has had dramatic decrease in hours. Last month, the doc put him "temporarily total disabled" for the month of Aug til his appt last week. He should have rec'd work comp payments for that month however due to someone NOT looking at his medical chart before opening their mouth, when work comp called the doctor's office to verify, they were WRONGLY told he "should be working" and therefore caused work comp to NOT PAY HIM! While I make decent money, when your income is cut by $600/month (minimum) to $300/month to NOTHING for a month, things get very tight financially. To make matters worse, his doctor was going to keep him out of work for at least another month, but his Lawyer convinced him to talk to the doctor to release him again to "Light duty" (on the lawyer's behalf, he was trying to assist us in at least getting a paycheck for him again). The kick in the pants is that although he was released, they've had NO work for him last week or this next week. (Another 2 weeks with no work and therefore no income).
This was just to give you a background of what has happened.
Now his doctor (regular) says his diabetes is out of control, he'll see him next week and probably be put on some sort of "liquid" diet (which he'll also be non compliant with). We just need some prayers that: A) Work comp will reconsider the lost wages for last month and we won't need to wait for our lawsuit to be complete to recover that $$, B) Work will pick up for him, C) Finances will get better, D) Doc doesn't put him on liquid diet but will allow him to maybe buckle down and get with the LDL program.
I know ->
is at work trying to do what ever he can, but it's getting tough to think positive and not give in to him (*evil*) and say "Fine You Win!" I'm trying to stay focused on God and let Him work His way through this, but again it's getting tough enough I need some added strength from you all through prayer.
Sorry this was so long.
Thanks
Veronica

........we're all praying you up and above all this....HOLD ON to the Lord, veronica..........and as far as rob's diabetes is concerned, i've been praying for him for that for a LONG time......his blood sugars are high because he has more stress and he's probably eating more of what he shouldn't since he's not working.................HE has to decide once and for all to get serious eating a way that will keep his diabetes in control.............in His power and strength(THAT'S where we are), niki
at times asking for prayers when I know that there are others so much worse off than we are. But at this moment in time I am just so upset and stressed and trying sooo hard NOT to run to the refrigerator and stuff my face as I have in the past that I just knew I needed some extra help. You all are my extended family and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your willingness to lift my family and my concerns in your prayers.
