ChristiansUnite Forums

 ;) Hello Dear Brothers and Sisters! I'm responding to a resounding number of inquiries as to my well-being.  Firstly, I have to express how BLESSED I am to have found my way to CU Forums!  The beautiful people I've met here have truly become a part of my life.  I care about each and every one of you, and by the looks of it, you all care for me too.

As you know, my new year did not get off to a very good start.  However, I feel more in control now because of steps I took to insure that I'm never left with a "hopeless" feeling again.  Bill came back home and so far the house is peaceful . . . he agreed to go to counseling, so I'm working on getting that established.

I've been consulting a vascular surgeon about my leg.  I had an Angiogram done last Monday, but it didn't work.  Prior surgical scars prevented the instrument from doing its job.  I am going back tomorrow to discuss my options.  One of which is surgery.  I'm praying for a miracle. .. I'm praying that my foot does not have to be amputated due to lack of oxygen.  I do know however, that I can live with whatever the Lord's will is for my life.  I know my life has a purpose, I'm just trying to figure out what that purpose may be.

I'll be more active in the forum for now, but if I have to go to the hospital you won't hear from me for awhile.  I just don't know for sure what's going to happen.  I promise to post when I can, and I will answer the emails.  And again, thank you all so much for your prayers and the outward concern for me.  I love you all too!   


Blessings-

Hi Sister Terri,

I'm sorry to hear about the angiogram. Yes we do care sister. If you are able to do so and do have to go to the hospital let us know before you go. There are many here praying for your foot and leg as well as your general all over well being.

Sister Terri,

If you can, let us know if you have to go to the hospital. I will pray for you, that God works a miricale for you.

Resting in the hands, of the Lord.
Bob

Sending you some long-distance hugs! You are in my thoughts and prayers!  :-*

Hi Sister Terri,

How are doing today?

 :D Hello Everyone -

The doctor and I have decided that surgery is my best option, so this coming Wednesday I'll be admitted to St. Mary Hospital for an Angioplasty.  From what I understand, the procedure will open two blockages and probably increase circulation by 30-40%.  This means that amputation to my foot is prolonged a bit longer.   :)

 :( A word of precaution to all diabetics:  please keep your blood sugar level as level as possible.  Don't let it fluxuate a lot.  I've been told that it's better to be at a "high" level consistently than to go up and down, up and down.  Take aspirin to help thin your blood (blood sugar thickens and causes clots) and by all means DON'T SMOKE!  There is nothing 'friendly' about this disease - if injections were the worst of it then we'd all be home free, but insulin itself causes problems.

I'll be posting up until Tuesday night, then I'll be gone for a few days.  Keep me in your prayers, and you're in mine.

That is good news Sister. Angioplasty is a much better procedure. Yes I will be praying for you.

Hello TalkerCat,

Sister Terri, you can be assured that many sweet Christians will be praying for you. I'm very happy that the procedure isn't going to be nearly as drastic, and I will pray that God gives your doctors the wisdom and guidance to give you the best medical treatment possible.AND, we know that GOD will be with you every step of the way.

Love In Christ,
Tom

Psalms 31:19 NASB  How great is Your goodness, Which You have stored up for those who fear You, Which You have wrought for those who take refuge in You, Before the sons of men!

Thank you Sister and in case you haven't noticed we all love you, too.

Terri, I will be praying for you. Praying the surgeon doing the angioplasty, will be guided by the Lords hands.

Resting in the hands, of the Lord.

 :) Glad you are back Terri, I am praying for you

Still praying for you sister Terri.

Terri how are you feeling today?

Brothers and Sisters,

I love the fact that many of us pray for each other every day. I know that I've said this before, but I want to say it again: I know that GOD loves to hear our prayers. It's part of our Walk in the SPIRIT, and it is also an important part of our love for other Brothers and Sisters in Christ.

So, it makes me happy to say: Sister Terri, we love you in Christ, and we pray for you every day. The same is true for many other sweet Christians on Christians Unite. Prayer is part of our Joy in JESUS.

Love in Christ,
Tom

John 4:36-38 NASB  "Already he who reaps is receiving wages and is gathering fruit for life eternal; so that he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. "For in this case the saying is true, 'One sows and another reaps.' "I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored and you have entered into their labor."

Sister, please do, shout his name, and rejoice in his name!

P.S. your still in my prayers.

Romans 8:16-18 NASB  The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

Sister Terri, I'm still praying for you here.
