Please pray for M, who learned she had a BRCA gene last fall. She had a full hysterectomy and her ovaries removed in January, and will have a double mastectomy on Tuesday. She's frightened, and needs reassurance.
Urgent support for my friend who is reacting very badly to what has been apparently pointless bullying. I am at a loss as to how to support him. We've been trying to get contact details for someone who might help without success so far. Libraries don't have Crockford's any more. But apart from that, we need God to make Himself apparent somehow and soon.
We have a friend in communication with the diocese, and the situation currently is that the diocese will get in touch with the person and see if they will get back in touch with my friend. A lot of safeguarding and privacy stuff going on. Which is right, of course.
When we had our first Ofsted, and the team did not, as required, give us their details, and the lay inspector was a priest, I was able to trip down to the library and find out about him from a hard copy Crockfords. It wasn't very impressive, as I recall, for someone capable of reducing staff to tears over trivia. But it was accessible. My county only has one hard copy now, in the county town.
That is not why we want to contact the priest we want to contact, who we suspect has been a victim of the bullying person who has bullied my friend. And is not in Crockfords. In the circumstances, he may not feel that my friend is safe to contact.
I'm spending a good deal of time in the sort of prayer made by the widow to the unjust judge. My friend is in dire need of something positive to happen at what was already a depressing time of life.
I had a great text from M this morning, seeming much less frightened than when we spoke on Sunday: "Nothing can go wrong in my Lenten Purple Paper Surgery MuuMuu!" Much later, she texted that it was over, that she was in her room, and that she was very sore. The next few days will be rough, but I think that she's past the worst of it, at least psychologically. Thank you for your prayers.
As you were. Last night has worn off, this being the weekday which was most enjoyed before the liars got involved, and my friend is feeling the loss of friendship and community very badly again.
Okay, at this point I'm unlikely to be done by 11, by which time lights MUST be out. I can only pray that I get enough done for the doing of it not to come too late.
While I'm here, I should add that the Telemum seems to be getting worse. She tried to go around the corner to the supermarket today and she only made it past a few houses.
I still FWIW think it's an inner ear problem, and she has appointments all this month for her eye problem (makes ears worse, besides she can't see) plus an MRI and ambulatory ECG to rule out other causes. But that's a whole month during which her balance gets worse.
The consultant described her as "frail" and "pleasant" in his evaluation; she wants to get back to being robust and unpleasant.
Good! Reporting in that I can now see light through the blank blurry spot on my retina. So maybe I'll get my central vision back in that eye, at least a bit more. The light is such a comfort.
For M - how well I know the one with cancer surgery and children. Mine were 9,7 and 4 when I was diagnosed in 1996.
(Second and third rounds (2009 and 2018-->) they have been wonderfully helpful and supportive though)
@Lamb Chopped, I'm sorry, I hadn't realised your eyesight was so deeply affected. I wish I could come round and read you an (improving!) book. Prayers ascending.
Please pray for B and all who love her - she's the sister of our church secretary, and she is in a coma & on ventilator, after contracting sepsis after routine surgery. M (brother) is flying home from France today.
Oh, thank you! But don't worry. It's a small part of my total visual field, it just happens to be the bit used for fine detail work like reading and sewing, i can see to drive, walk, etc just fine using peripheral vision. The problem is, I'm a writer... so I've been getting accomodations at work.
Of your charity, would you pray for the repose of the soul of P, a friend from Northern Ireland who died this morning (evil cancer), and for his wife V, daughter J and son S and their families.
Rest eternal grant unto him, O Lord, and let light perpetual shine upon him.
Please pray for R. Two months ago he had spinal surgery that was supposed to lessen his severe back pain. Unfortunately he is now in worse pain than ever, the strongest painkillers are only minimally effective and he is becoming very depressed. I pray for healing and hope.

M went home today. She's still terribly sore, but at least she got one more night of peace before returning home to her sparring pre-teens.
