I read this forum all the time and rarely post but I was thinking that if I posted my problems that I am going thru right now that it would be a way to give them to God. Things have been rough and I haven't lost sleep because of my Faith but any prayers would be grateful for my family.
1. My grandmother pkmtyolped away last week. A tiny (Think Sophia-Golden Girls) Polish woman of strong faith. The silver lining was she died the same week as her Polish Pope.
2. I am recovering from surgery for replacement of a defribulator that was recalled. I stress this only because I will always need to have this device. A Godsend in one sense and an albatross in another.
3. BOTH of my parents are having major health issues. Dad had stints put in and is having slight complications from it. Mom has a cyst on her thyroid that will be removed soon.
4. My neice has a mysterious illness that they have now identified as shingles instead of the original diagnosis of herpes...she is only 12 and very much a child. My brother and his wife were a mess trying to discuss that topic with this child.
5. My husband just was terminated from his job that pays very well. This after an 8 month layoff and he returned to work there after working less than a week at a job he would probably never have been laid off from. The good news is that even though it's a termination they are trying to get these guys back.
6. My husband and I have fighting a lot because of all the stress surrounding all these events. He is drinking a lot more than usual and it's really doing a number on me. I have always considered him an alcohlic but it has been bad lately!
7. This final one breaks my Motherheart. My son who joined the Army last fall has got fianl confirmation that he WILL be going to Iraq in September. This news is especially devastating after a really rough year with him and the healing began before he joined with our blessings.
Feeling better already after just typing all this out. I think that's the whole list!!LOL
