I would definitely appreciate prayer.  On the way to Pennsylvania, my car's air conditioning started acting up, and when I got here my brakes were squealing.  I had it in the garage today, and in addition to the brakes and an oil change, they said my air conditioner needed over $800 of repairs, plus my tires wouldn't pass PA inspection, if it were still registered here.  I couldn't afford either, since the brakes and oil change emptied my bank account.  I have no savings, and will definitely need the tires replaced when I get back to Michigan.  I hope my daughter will take me to Sam's to get them.  I'm also hoping I can get the repairs to the air conditioner cheaper in Michigan, but may not be able to fix it till September.

Please pray for milder weather as I drive back to Michigan, a milder summer when I get there, coz right now we're in a brutal heatwave, and a financial miracle.  I'm rather discouraged, and can't really afford to replace this car right now.

Hugs,

Trish

I'd appreciate prayer for my son, Chris.  He and his wife, Casey, were in bad car accident on Sunday, June 30th.  Their car was totaled.  But worse than that, Chris has had a bad concussion since then.  He saw a neurologist a couple days ago, and was instructed not to return to work this week, and to only work half days next week.

Thanks

The hida scan I had done at the end of June shows I need gall bladder surgery.  Since I'm leaving for Pennsylvania for two weeks, it'll have to be after I return.  I briefly considered having it done while I'm there, because I adore my weight loss surgeon, because he's called me when he's learned I've been hospitalized, to check on me.  But after being at my sisters to recover from my foot surgery in the winter, I want to recover in my home here, with my puppy by me side.

Please pray as I have to trust a total stranger, a new surgeon, do this surgery.

Hugs,

Trish

As many of you may remember, I've been dealing with all of the symptoms of a sick gall bladder.  I had an ultrasound, which came up negative.  Last week, I had an endoscopy, which showed no ulcer.  Well, today, I had a hida scan, which is a nuclear medicine test, to check how my gall bladder is functioning.  From start to fini**** took a total of 90 minutes of laying flat on my back, after they injected radioactive dye in an IV.  After an hour, they injected synthetic fat into the IV, to make the liver and gall bladder process it while the scan is taking place.  It takes 3-4 business days before my doctor gets the results.  I'm praying it is the gall bladder, so I can just get it removed, and be done with these awful, annoying symptoms.  

Please pray I get an answer soon, so I know I'm not just imagining the indigestion, nausea, and pain.  This has been going on for a long time, building to more frequent symptoms, and worse symptoms.  

Thanks,

Trish

Thanks hun, glad you found your way here! Were not very busy but I stop by everyday to check for posts. I'm doing even better today and the doc called in a kick butt antibiotic since my xray did have a tiny hazy spot but they couldn't tell if it was from the previous pneumonia or a new one starting but this should stop it if it's new. Hope you and  your sleeve are getting along better and learning to be friends now!
