I am so grateful for this prayer group! Asking for still more prayer. Ever since I experienced respiratory arrest several weeks ago, I have some anxiety surrounding going anywhere alone. Cardiac tests were normal, that's great, but a mystery as to what caused it, so who knows if it might happen again at any time. I know God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind. I repeat that verse to myself when this anxiety happens. I've lived with chronic conditions over 30 yrs, which has always entailed cycles of getting worse, fighting my way back, then the next setback, (hip replacement, back surg, etc) and as anyone with health issues knows, that can be disheartening. In light of the bouts of muscle failure, the balance issues, as well as a problem in my right knee, and other stuff, I've been less and less able to safely and confidently get out and about. Please pray for the outcome of muscle biopsy, results come next week. Please pray for Physical therapy starting Friday that I have stamina to do it and regain strength and functional ability, particularly in my core muscles for posture, and breathing. Pray therapist is thorough. For the fitting for a brace for that knee, ( to avoid further damage) but most of all, that I can get well enough to just "have a life" again; be involved at church, visit friends, get out and enjoy walking, even grocery shopping has been impossible for me for a long while. Prior to taking care of my mom a couple years back, I was finally at a point of improvement, kids all raised and on their way in life, etc and I was able to focus on my own health needs- finally on a good trajectory. The 18 mo traveling to provide and facilitate Mom's care, and some dynamics of both her household, and our complicated relationship wiped out that progress, and left me drained in every way. I'm only in my early 60's, but the older I get, the more daunting it becomes to keep starting over. Pls pray also for good rapport and a sense of teamwork with my new Dr. T for praying for me.
