I need prayer too

[Kendra The Sea Maid]

My Aunt called today to say that my Grandma took a miss step off the porch fell, and broke her hip. She will need surgery an she will spend some time in rehab. I know she will be well for she is a strong lady. As for me, I put in a request for a "tub lift" please pray that it will come soon. Yes a shower chair is alright, but I am a woman,and a woman without her "bubble bath" Is like icecream without chocolate. But seriously, it is the pain in my hips that is making it so difficult for me now, and a nice hot bath helps the circulation (keeps my legs warm), thus keeps my hips from hurting.

I know this all is probably too much info, but I thought if you knew why then you know what to pray for

Thank you

Aye Miss Kendra th' Sea Maid, I be prayin' fer ye. Reckon, things always work ou' fer th' best in th' long run. I pray that yer Grandmother an' yer prayers be answered in good time. Additionally, ye can pray fer some young 15 voyage old teen named Jimmy I know who attempted suicide today by downin' a lot o' bunkin' pills. Way too young t' be havin' these types o' problems.

[Rumba Rue]

What you need is a jacuzzi! Seriously, or perhaps a new bathtub with jets. Yes handrails will be very helpful to you.

Sorry to hear about your grandmother. Hip injuries are common with us older folks. Sucks, but I hope your grandmother recovers well.

[Merrydeath]

I'm sendin you all good strength and healing thoughts.. like pop bubbles but they are supposed to help you.

Kendra, look into what your insurance can do about it, they may pay for part of it.

as for your Gran, if she's like you, she has inner strength and a will to live. And.... she has you!

as for the young man, I hope he can get the counseling he nneds to stop this now... its a permanant solution to a temperary condition...

hugs to you all....

Yes insurance has paid for alot of things that I have needed, but it has to be approved first. That is what I am waiting for. A hot tub would be great, when I become a famous author that is the first thing I am going to buy! My Grandmother goes in for her surgery today.

And as for young Jimmy, I will certainly pray for him to get the help he needs. Also please tell this young man from me, that there is a 29 year old woman in a chair, who has been in that chair all of her life, and through God's help she has learned to take each day has it comes. And when the world comes against her, and every thing gets dark she turns to God and together they get pyratical on their ass! Don't give up on life kid, you are here for a purpose and a reason. It may not seem clear now, but is always the darkest before the dawn

Sending good thoughts and prayers to everyone mentioned in this thread, as well as whatever is needed for Miss Kendra to enjoy bubble baths everyday!

Blessings,

Ciaran

Soli Deo Gloria ( don't ask me for any more Latin thats pretty much all I know)

Anyway Grandma is out of surgery and is in her room, she will be ther a few days, and then she will go for rehab. Everything went well.

[Captain Midnight]

Aye, Kendra me lass, ye do indeed have my sincerest and most heartfelt prayers always, as do your Grandmother and the young lad afore mentioned. :)

[Black Syren]

Kendra My sea sister you know my thoughts and prayers are always with you. I will pray you get both the hot tub and a big bath with lots of jets so you have plenty of room for your fins. *grins* and of course that your Grandmother recovers quickly. I did not break my hip but for some reason my femur is still not healing so I know what it is like to have a lOONg recovery and I will pray hers is very short.

As Always..

Glad to hear your grandmother got through surgery - it's a long road ahead, but if she has your kind of strength, she should be able to get through the rehab in short order.

I hope you get your tub lift - you should be able to have bubble baths whenever you want them! Jacuzzi jets are good too - isn't there a portable jacuzzi unit that fits in a regular bath?

[Black Hearted Pearl]

Prayers and good wishes your way. Remember, insurance companies like to save money. Convincing them that it will save them money in future pain medication costs by purchasing you a bath tub lift will work in your favor.

[Rummy3]

All my prayers, Kendra. You are so sweet. Everyone here, I am sure, is wishing you the very best. Take Black Hearted Pearl's words to heart - believe me, she has lots of insight!

Believe me, after 29 years of my situation, we have learnd how to word things properly.

[lady snow]

you don't have to ask twice - after having a paraplegic husband - it's amazing what things are a necessity that able bodied folk consider a luxury. hope all works out in your favor and your grandmother has a speedy recovery! much love

[oderlesseye]

MAy peace wash over all as we look wit hope fer answered Prayer here.

That me pray fer Kendra ,grandmother and Jimmy,and fer the unspoken as well.

[CaptainCiaran]

Kendra, continuing to keep ye and yer family in God's light. How be yer grandmother now?

[Kendra The Sea Maid]

She is doing well, she is in a nursing home while she recouperates, and gets PT this is for a few weeks. Then she will be sent home, Her dog Casey (who is as big as Marmaduke, no joke) Will be put in a kennel for a time while getting around her home. Don't want him tp trip her while she is re learnig how to get around the house. As for me still waiting to hear from the guy about the tub lift. We and our little farm survived the storm today, we are all praying that the water receeds and that all the animals stay healthy.

Oh also, my travling compaion, is getting married the 24th of this month to a wonderful man. So please pray that they always remain the best of friends as they are right now. And yes, Ciaran I too want prayer in the romance department as well. I know, I did not need to put that down, but I think I know you well enough to know you would have called me on it if I didn't

Thanks again to one and all!

[Kendra The Sea Maid]

An update: Talked with my Grandma, and she sounds, to be quite honest terrible. Not only dose she have a head cold, but she is really depressed. Two reasons:

1. She has to stay in the nursing home a little while longer

2. She will be (once she is out) moving out of her old home, the home I have known all my life as "Grandma's House" so you are talking almost 30 years, into a smaller home in town. So needless to say she is down.

I want to say that the move is not because of her accident. It is because the house is so old and it is hard for her to do the up keep to the home. So she has been thinking about this for awhile. It is just with the fall, it added to an already stressfull situation. So please pray that she stays strong and that God gives her peace in the midst of the storm.

My hip pain and muscle tone are getting worse, those of you that have CP know what I am talking about. I have to do something, now. So I am in the process of trying to get into the YMCA. THEY HAVE A HEATED POOL!! and the water would be good therapy for me. I guess I am a real mermaid after all. And yes we are still in the process to get the tub lift, and still no word.

[Black Syren]

Kendra my little sea sister my thoughts and prayers are always with you..*Big hugs* Let me know if i can do anything. I know I have not been on much my aim is acting up and Im back at work and therapy..But leave me a pm darlin..Im here for you.

[BeaufortsPyrateWench]

Sending you lots of love and light!!!! I can relate to the hip pain....had a horse kick my out of joint and crack the ball...no fun....chin up and stay positive!!! {{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}} :) I am taking care of my 94 year old Gma and it is hard, she has always been the "head" of the family...now she has a bone disorder and all I can do is sit here, help her with her PT and keep her company. If you need to talk I am just an e-mail away!!!!!

[CaptainCiaran]

Arr, Kendra, lass, am sending lots of prayers out for your grandmother. I cannot imagine what a change it is for her to move out of a house where she has spent so much of her life. I pray her healing continues.

Good luck with the YMCA. My local one is a great organization (I used to be a member before I started having so many neck (disk) problems). I hope ye are able to join and take advantage of the heated pool, and that you get the tub lift, too!

Good thoughts being sent your way and to your grandmother.

Ciaran

[Kendra The Sea Maid]

Thank you all so much, I promise that I will e-mail or PM if I need anything. I do have so good news. The place where I get my therapy has now a webpage and I am on it!Healing The Generations If you watch the pics float in and out you will see me lying on a mat wearing red pants using a Chi machine. I will also be in the newsletter as well as one of my poems (it may not be there yet but will be) and they are also going to put my webpage cool or what! Things are starting to look up.
