Could use some prayers!
« on: March 23, 2012, 07:16:47 PM »
I think I wrote on here before, that I have a psudo tumor(fake tumor) behind my right eye. It has been swollen for quite sometime now, makeing my vision in the center of my right eye, extremely blurry. My regular medical dr. suggested "highly" for me to not drive. Feel like I'm giveing up my "independence" totally! He told me, the condition I have is "manageable" but not cureable! Thanks doc.! Now, I'm getting set up to go see a spine and brain hospital. I hate not being able to see clearly. They say "if I loose the weight" it would help! Evidentally, they don't take into consideration that I went from 240 to 195! No...it's loose more weight! I've been working my butt off! I've had countless mri's done. Even a spinal tap! What's happening is, the spinal fluid goes up, but stops when it goes back down at the neck! Fun stuff! I would appreciate some prayers! Gonna need them! Thanks for letting me vent, on the verg of tears.

Oh Steph!  I'm so sorry!  It's so hard to have to depend on others, I understand that completely.  I know we can't be there for you physically, I hope you can feel us there for you in spirit!  I will send positive vibes your way and hope for good changes for you.

Stef my heart goes out to you :-* When my daughter was 4 I lost vision in one eye totally and they told me I would lose vision in the other eye.I would never see my daughter grow up.I was so pissed.After going to several doctors I found the right doctor.I still only have vision in one eye and wear glasses but I can see and I count my blessings every day :)  These little challenges are just that learning experiences to make us better people.You will be in my thoughts and prayers my friend :-*

More prayers going up from me too for you, Stephanie!

I pray the Lord guides the minds and hands of your health care providers.
And that He provide comfort for you and your family.

We know that there are good doctors and there are bad doctors.
But trust in the Lord, the Great Physician, and you'll ALWAYS be in good hands!... ALWAYS! :)
What you do today is what matters!

Just wanted to say thank you all for all your prayers! Makes me feel better! I really hate talking about it, but needed to vent. Thank you for your prayers! @Umpa, had no idea you were in the same boat as I am! Husbands uncle has this problem in both of his eyes! I feel so bad for him!
