Say some prayers!

This past February, my boyfriend, Phillip got put in the hospital for emergency surgery to unblock an artery (illiac) in the groin area. He had no circulation going to the leg at all. Well, they did a stint and diagnosed him with P.A. D. and all seemed well till recently when the other foot started losing circulation. So here we go again with a probable bypass tomorrow.....again the groin area.

So I need prayers for a safe and speedy recovery and also LOTS and LOTS of prayers for him to take the necessary steps to stop smoking and do what he needs to do to get healthy. The outlook for him is not good if he doesn't get this disease under control. He is only 45 and too young for all this. He is likely to have a heart attack or stroke. He is quite worried and of course I am too.

This is not a great time to be in the hospital, but we have no choice.

I am so sorry to hear about this Lisa.
Lee had a stint put in about 10 years ago and is on many meds since then.
I too wish Lee would make some health changes to help himself.
You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry to hear this, I hope that Phillip has everything go smooth for him. I am still smoking and would like to stop but its sooo hard. I am taking Zyban which has cut the urge to light up a bit. Best of luck to him!!! Im sending positive vibes your way.

((((Lisa)))),

You've been on my mind lately. I've been wondering about Phillip since our last phone call. If there is anything that I can do for you please do not hesitate to call. You know that I'm just an hour or so away so if you need me, call. In the meantime, know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Hang in there sweetie!

Love you,
