Prayer Request
Hi Everyone,
As I had shared in the Coffee Talk, I was planning to see my doctor regarding some edema I have in my feet. As some of you may remember, I struggled for months with cellulitus, which is an infection of the skin tissue, and I had it then in my left leg. Well, it turns out I have it in both of my legs this time. I already knew I had venous insufficiency, so this is a contributing factor to the cellulitus. My blood does not circulate in my legs as it should, causing the cellulitus and the subsequent edema.
My doctor's recommendation is to stay off my feet as much as possible, but he is realistic and knows I am a teacher. So, his actual instructions to me were "When you can sit, sit." Gratefully, I have terrific students and will be able to sit more than I would have at my other schools. God is so good to me in that regard.
So, I would appreciate your prayers that I might be able to rest my feet as much as possible and heal quickly.
Hugs,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Hi, Trish.
Bless your heart. I had a bout with cellulitis over the summer--miserable stuff. I will pray that you will be able to rest and keep your feet up as much as possible. I wonder if those electric leg massager things would work for you. Do you know what I mean? They pulse around your leg, to encourage better circulation. My husband is so good to massage my legs and feet in the morning and again at night. What a blessing.
I'm so glad you went to see the doctor. It's nothing to mess around with.
Praying for You,
Mary

Hi, Trish.
I am just checking in with you. How are the cellulitis and edema? I hope both are going away or gone by now. Are you resting and getting your feet up, as much as you can? How are your spirits, as I know things like this can try to get one to feeling a bit low. May the joy of the Lord and the prayer support of your friends be your strength.
Blessings,
Mary
