Dearest Gary, Gary you are weak in health, dear one, but God gave you a strong heart, wise mind and a wife that is your rock, friends and family that love you, Doctors and nurses of wisdom.Thank the dear Lord you are not on this journey alone, and soon you will be as good as new but until then; one day at a time. Will be checking in time to time on you, and much christian love sent from Texas.
port gets put in on Tuesday then chemo starts on Tuesday. God bless you all!
I am sure your family appreciates it that you are choosing to battle this and take the treatment. What a long road, but as the others said, you are not alone.
Thank you Ladies, I do have an amazing and loving support team! And you are all part of it :-) My stepdaughter even told me that my future son in law even asked her how to pray the other day, he goes to church with us but is not yet a believer in Christ, he wanted to pray for me and never had prayed before. He comes from a non practicing Catholic dad, Jewish mom home. Very non traditional Christmas, Passover, etc. Bless you for taking time tp pray for me..big hugs!

Now you see, GOD can take a circumstance that is so difficult for us and use it to save someone else; and I know that you would think it was all worth it for this young man to be saved through this, GARY! You have had us praying for him; and now GOD is using your illness & his love for you, to reach him ...
Plus in our local paper this week, a lady said that her mother's passing last May, has forced her to face the reality of her own mortality. GOD can and will use our suffering & losses, not only to free us, but others too! We serve an awesome GOD people! Praize His Holy Name!
PRAYER REQUEST Please ~ I just found out my Uncle GARNET is in our district hospital (in Timmins, Ontario). Turns out he had pneumonia for some time (and somehow that was missed), and a twisted colon. He was operated on successfully last week (PRZ GOD), but once again has another colostomy; poor guy (third time).
It wouldn't be so bad if they could find a way to keep those dang colostomy bags on. I suggested that they should make the bags twist or snap onto a semi-permanent stick-on base, which could stay on the abdomen for 1-3+ months at a time. Then they could just twist off the bags and throw them away when they are full. I wonder how something like that could be invented???
Especially since the nurses here refuse to help the patients change the bags; seems they think it's too above them even though they make 25+ dollars an hour. Right now, the bags fall off all the time; and pull the patients skin off when they are changed and that is terribly painful. I know I watched my mother go through this for over 17 years before she passed away.
Well friends, let's pray about this; for both my UNCLE GARNET, and some new clip-on or twist-off colostomy bags for all future patients. After all, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD, right? Right! Thanks so much ...
Rosebud, praying for Uncle Garnet and praying that a way will be found o change the bags in a more efficient manner. Nothing is too small for our God, he can make ways where there are no ways.
