    At 1 am on my birthday today I got a call from my brother's nursing home that they were sending him to the hospital ER. It turns out he has pancreatitis and a UTI, he's in the ICU. I didn't need this on my birthday. Please pray for him, and for me.

    Praying!!!

    Prayers for all here. I had a very nasty turn today. Very giddy and feel sick. Heart attack, stroke? Effects of 65 year-old brain damage? Who knows? .... phoning 111 is hopeless and I'm not brave, patient, holy or strong enough to face A&E. Resting up and sleeping, waking and praying for oh so many.
    Bugger!!

    IANAD!!! But google Ménière's Disease. And TIA (transient ischaemic attack). And see yr GP/primary care physician at the earliest opportunity. Exactly my symptoms more than 25 years ago. Now I'd be deaf as a post without a cochlear implant.

    Oh, and 🙏

    Praying, @ThunderBunk!

    I don’t know where in North Carolina K is, but I can assure you there are very good hospitals and very good surgeons here.

    I have no doubt @Nick Tamen . We actually went last year,. and indeed he grew up in Winston-Salem, but hospitals were not involved. He's in North Durham

  • Just heard from K. He is groggy but through his operation. Colostomy bag in place - hopefully temporarily for 6 weeks or so.

    Ah, good!

    Glad to hear it went well. Praying the colostomy bag is indeed temporary.

  • Very glad to hear this.

    Prayers for recovery for all in recent surgery, all in need of prayer.

    🕯 relieved for K!!

    An issue today with wound packing, but resolved. Recuperating. Will try to grade some stuff later but not right now.
  • I have rarely been more relieved in my life than I was to hear his incredibly groggy voice at 8.30 this morning. 4.30 where he was.

    Still praying for you, @ChastMastr , for peace and healing, of mind, body, spirit and heart

    My brother T has a cyst on his pancreas as a result of the pancreatitis. If it resolves with treatment (antibiotics, painkillers, and fluids) well and good; if not, they may have to do surgery. Please pray it should resolve, and quickly. I'm supposed to leave on a trip on the 10th, and I can't if he's having surgery.
  • NenyaNenya All Saints Host, Ecclesiantics & MW Host
    Praying for you and your brother @NicoleMR . Also for @ChastMastr .

    Very glad to read this update on K and continued prayers for him and for @ThunderBunk .

    Praying always for all of us who ask, and for those who don't or can't.

    I'm waiting for a reply to an email I sent to my brother who lives in Thailand. Hopefully he and his family and neighbors have not been affected by the earthquake(s).

    I had a longish discussion with a farmer yesterday. He is doing it tough, as are many others: farmers or otherwise. Prayers for those who give us our food for strength amid difficult circumstances. And indeed all involved in food and drink from transport to factories to stores. And farmers.

    Prayers requested for my dear wife Christine who passed away yesterday, leaving me bereft.

    She was a wonderful woman with a heart of gold, my soulmate and the love of my life. I hope to follow her soon.
