    Prayers for Ukraine who may have to give up territory to stop the war. Prayers that Vladimir Putin gets divine judgement as his country signed an agreement to preserve all of Ukraine's borders in return for Ukraine giving up nuclear weapons.
  • 🙏 Prayers for the people in New Orleans.

    Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayers.
  • Update on Renee: She's been discharged from the hospital and is ordering medical supplies... "This is all big concern. The valves in my heart, blood in my lungs, and being on oxygen." I should mention she's also trying to get her home restored--it was badly damaged in one or the other (or both?) of the hurricanes down here in Florida, though she's not in my exact area. She's been through a lot.
  • Update: Renee has a fever and is scared. We’re all trying to get her to go back to the hospital. Please pray she does…
  • NenyaNenya All Saints Host, Ecclesiantics & MW Host
    Praying for Renee, that her situation and health improve really soon.

    Of your charity, please pray for the repose of the souls of C and B, two friends from our time at Belfast Cathedral (C was Vicar Choral for some time, and B was for many years a member of the choir), both of whom have died recently.

    Rest eternal grant unto them, O Lord, and let light perpetual shine upon them.

  • A cat named Mau (not mine) has passed. 🕯
  • My stress levels are way too high (see: anniversary of mother's death plus fresh deaths this December, plus incoming inauguration of you-know-who). I need to turn in a presentation basically yesterday for a conference in two weeks. My brain is behaving like a squirrel on caffeine. Pray for me?

    Absolutely!!
  • I’ve managed today all right despite it being the four-year anniversary of not only the insurrection, but of Cubby’s (QuakerCub on the Ship, and my partner for 17 years) passing. The fact that it’s Epiphany helps me.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Anniversaries are never easy, CM - prayers ascending.
  • For the soul of Peter Yarrow, and all who grieve for him.

    The 18th didn't happen. Sorry about that, I hope the unexpected jump to the 19th didn't cause too many problems. I will now be seen on the 23rd. My ambition to resolve all of my bad habits has fallen a little short of fulfilment, shall we say.

    The Telemum has spoken to the GP because she had several hours of breathlessness this afternoon. At the very end of the conversation she let drop that she also had breathlessness this morning, and when the conversation was over she let drop that she had woken in the middle of the night with breathlessness. I know this is all only going in one direction, but I would so like the Telemum to live as long as she wants to, and want to as long as she lives, and for that to be a long time yet.

    I really need to save a great deal of money and it's not clear how I will accomplish this in the time I have available.

    Most of all I need more discipline and better standards.

  • Speaking of breathlessness...

    I've just been dx'ed with severe sleep apnea, and will have to learn to use a CPAP--and I have a phobia about anything that constrains my breathing. There is a second person in my family (redacted for privacy) who is in the same boat at the same time.

    This really isn't an easy six weeks we're having.

    I am not offering medical advice, but simply suggest that getting a second opinion is a good idea.
  • Thank you. This IS, more or less, the second opinion... :cry:

  • BroJamesBroJames Purgatory Host
    I’ve been using a CPAP for nearly a year now (a ResMed AirSense 10 Autoset with an AirFit F20 mask). It does take a bit of getting used to, but it doesn’t restrict your breathing at all. I found it helpful just to try the mask on at first without connecting it to the machine, and then to connect it to the machine without turning the machine on. That made it perfectly clear to me that it wasn’t going to restrict my breathing at all.

  • Please pray for Pastor DE. He's meeting with the pulmonary fibrosis consultant today to discuss options. Lord, have mercy.
    Prayers for all here, especially LC at this most challenging time. Take heart - I too used a lightweight CAP for some years and found it quite comforting and of immense benefit.
  • SarasaSarasa All Saints Host
    Prayers for all specially LC - giver her a break OK, Lord? and @RockyRoger's Pastor DE.
    Prayers for all that need them and cannot ask.

    I have been using a CPAP machine for relief from Obstructive Sleep Apnoea for about 27 years. I am on my third machine. The modern machines, with computerised control of pressure (reacting to your breathing), are much better than the earlier, purely mechanical, ones (where you had to breathe out against the pressure).

  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    Allow me to give you some encouragement, @Lamb Chopped! I've had a CPAP for over 14 years now, and like @Ex_Organist, I'm on my third machine.

    It was devastating to be diagnosed with sleep apnea and to find I had to sleep with the machine, however, it has been absolutely amazing! Now, I can't sleep without the thing!

    I hope you find relief and more restful sleep when you use it, LC.

    Praying for all to go well for you!
  • Thank you. I've actually tried one for about 10 seconds, pre-pandemic, and found myself having great difficulty exhaling against the pressure--so yeah, freaked out. I have asthma and being unable to control such things is pretty much a nightmare.
  • PuzzlerPuzzler Shipmate
    Please pray for my son-in-law S who has worrying symptoms, which numerous tests seem unable to diagnose.
    And for Grandson W, who has been recalled by the police today. Waiting to see what charges are made.

    @Lamb Chopped for you and the family member.

    I've just received an email from my youngest brother K saying that our oldest brother G has been admitted to hospital and doesn't seem to be responding to anti=biotics. G also has Parkinsons which has steadily worsened over the last year.
