I am requesting prayer. It is kind of a long story, so i will try to be real short. I injured my knee over a year ago at work and have been through a very tough time with work comp. I have lost my ability to do a lot of physical activity, my job and a lot of money. They did surgery, but I have had constant pain since and have a real hard time just taking care of the house and kids, let alone working on top of it, which I am going to need to do by Sept. because we are so broke, whether I have pain or not. Anyway, I have been having problems that go all the way to my shoulder, I was relating this to my knee. I know dum! Anyway I prayed Sat. for the Lord to give me answers on my condition. It was the next day that all of sudden my whole life hit me. I was born with a heart murmur, 11 years ago when i was pregnant i was told something was wrong with my heart and I needed to see a specialist (Iwas 19 and blew the doc off), then last year after surgery I was told there was soemthing wrong with my breathing while I was under and needed to see someone. I was to busy healing from surgery to worry about it. Well lately i have been short of breathe, having chest pains and dizzy spells. I am only 30, but when the Lord hit me like that I knew what he was telling me. So I made an appt. and the nurse said it sounds like a heart thing. My appt is tomorrow and i am asking you all to pray for me, that the truth about what is wrong with me will be seen by this Dr. It is so important to me to know what is wrong with me, because I am under so much stress trying to live like this and can not fix what I do not know exists. Thank you all.

Lord Please be with your child. Please guide her and the Doctors though the surgery. Comfort her and may she lean fully on you. And may she know that it was your will to have this surgery done. When the operation is over I pray that she would be forever greatful,and have stronger faith in you than ever before. God Bless you Kryss Amen

I will definitely be praying for you, rickandkryss...
And, have you looked into Social Security Disability? From the sounds of it, I would think you might very well qualify. And just some advice - even if you are satisfied with the answer your doc gives you, if you can try to, see another doctor and get a second opinion.
God Bless you, sunnysiren

Oh, my sister, I am so sorry you are going through this. Maybe this is a sign you are still to rest, although I know this is confusing because you feel you are needed to go back to work. Hopefully there is maybe some family that can help financially while this is going on? I know personally I don't have any help like this and can relate when others don't either. Another post mentioned financial assistance, I think that is a great idea if you can do this. I know you are probably really scared right too. It's always so stressful when there are health problems. Just know I am here for you, please email me whenever you would like. Like they say, it seems like life gets in the way when we are trying to get things done. I will be praying for you. Please keep us all updated. Blessings Lisa

Hey you all, just wanted to thank you for you prayers. I have good news! I went to the Dr. and he diagnosed me with heartburn basically, but I knew that just was not right. I could not decided what to do, then God willed me to take myself to the ER, where they found I have nice case of pnuemonia. So no heart problems and after a few days of antibiotics i should be back to my norm. Then next week my Orthopedic Dr. will take another look at my knee and hopefully find the cause to all of these months of pain. It would be so lovely to have my life back. Thank you all once again, God Bless!

God Bless you, sunnysiren Thanks for the idea, but I am not quite ready for SSI. I think I am still in denial about my work ability, lol. But it is somethign i am keeping in the back of my mind. I had my attorney appt yesterday, it was 5 hours long and we went through a lot of material, so I am going to see how that goes first, then go from there. Thanks for your good thoughts.
