I am having problems with dizziness and increased fatigue; I'm not sure whether it has to do with my new-ish med or the progress of the disease, but it's hard to work when I'm constantly yawning. I start another new med tomorrow, one with an icky list of possible side effects, and am praying that those don't overwhelm me.
Jengie, you have my sympathy - there's something wrong with the plumbing in our kitchen, which has rendered the dishwasher off-limits and we can't afford to get it mended until my pension fund comes through (hopefully in the next couple of weeks).
I absolutely loathe washing-up, but for some reason I don't equate loading the dishwasher with "chores".
The dishwasher is now plumbed in. They sent the 'oops we have messed up' man around and it was obvious. I agree that non-working plumbing just makes life miserable. Thanks for the prayers
Dithering about whether to say goodbye to my sister in this life and go home to St Louis, only to fly back again in a couple weeks (doubt she can last much longer, she's completely unable to eat and the cancer is growing like gangbusters). They are keeping her hydrated which is an unexpected mercy and allows some lucidity right now. I can work from a distance--pretty sure my job would allow that--but would be leaving husband and son on their own, as well as imposing on my folks to house me. Pray for wisdom?
<votive> for all, especially those in pain, or watching and waiting with those in pain.
<votive> for all who find bl**dy Christmas a difficult time (I'm opting out of all the extra services at Our Place this year).
Recent MRIs/nerve conduction tests show that there doesn't seem to be much wrong with my head or back - just some slight spinal stenosis, typical of Someone Of My Age.
They think the pain in my legs/difficulty walking may be due to an underactive thyroid, so more tests are planned....AIUI, the brain tumour which caused damage to my pituitary gland may well be responsible, dratted thing that it was (albeit non-malignant in itself).
My sister's still alive but highly agitated and trying to get out of bed, hallucinating at times. Her sons are having the dickens of a time caring for her.
My partner of thirteen years just told me that being Gay is a sin and that the fallen angels made women want other women and she is only going to follow Jesus and I can renounce my lesbianism too! Oh, tra la la, we can still be friends but not partners...I am so shell-shocked that I don't know what to do. She said the Holy Spirit led her to renounce homosexuality this very evening...
She had been getting pretty odd in her later years but...
For everyone that needs our prayers, specially those who feel they cannot ask.
5th Mary that sounds really tough. I hope you can work your way through this.
LC and family.
My friend K, a religious sister, is the lead person for an exciting new venture for her congregation. Prayers that the obstacles in the path are smoothed away.
5th Mary π I can't even begin to imagine how difficult this must be. I hope you have good support, and she gets help.
Today I sat next to a young man on the bus who had multiple small cuts on his left arm, most probably from self harm as they were carefully placed, rather than random as they might be from an accident. It wasn't my usual bus, so I am unlikely to see him again.
Prayers for everyone in the area around Anchorage, Alaska. A magnitude 7.0 earthquake has done extensive damage to roads, bridges and buildings, but no known deaths.

Moo, Comet is safe in south central Alaska, according to her Facebook page. My brother and sister-in-law near Anchorage have a huge mess to clean up, but they are safe as well. My niece in Fairbanks said that she felt it, but they suffered no ill effects.
