Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an intergral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on it's evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.

-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.

In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Prayer Request please
I went to the ER on Friday, sever lower back/pain that I couldn't get relief at home using natural pain relief and lidocaine patches. Also I started pucking at 10AM & continued till about 8PM. I was given multiple very heavy pain drugs and after many hours found slight relief. At 1AM I flown to a bigger local hospital. The first hospital didn't tell how severe things were. Once got to new hospital I was told I was very sick. Kidney stone and infection plus inflamed appendix. I was taken to surgery but they couldn't remove. My kidney was to infected. My BP bottomed on heli ride and at this point i'm in ICU, they are the only department can give administer the BP drugs. Nurse just walked in told me she was taking me off BP drugs. That's a blessing. When I go home I'll be on antibiotics and after that they will do the surgery. What's strange this came on suddenly. I had a kidney stone ten years ago and passed with complications. I also had full blood panel 1/23/23 and everything was good. I won't be on here again until i'm feeling better and stronger. Dang I've missed y'all. I have faith in Jesus/God, prayers don't hurt. I have many reasons to fight and get well. The biggest, I have a brand new grandchild. Thanks
Dear Lord, we just left up our friend to you. We pray that you will continue to give a complete healing to our friend, and that you would protect them from any infection and disease. We ask you to continue to bring knowledgeable doctors around them, and help them to be healthy again very soon. In Jesus name amen.

Hope the prayers helped :)
I believe the prayers were a big factor in my recovery and survival. I didn't know it until afterwards, doctors told my husband I might not make it. They were giving me two different antibiotics. Put a central line in my neck to administer antibiotics. There was a chance of losing function in extremities giving antibiotics through IV in arm. I knew the term central line from years ago watching medical dramas but had no clue it went in my neck. I had three IVs in each hand. Took weeks for the bruising to heal. I'm very blessed and thankful for every prayer raised up for me.
Amen.
