My prayer request is 3! 1. Is I am in severe pain. I had someone take my prescribed bottle of pills for pain without me knowing who did this!! I can't get any more until it's at my regular time which is to far yet! My shoulders really hurt! I had 4 back surgeries, which left me immobile from waste down. Some times I have trouble waiting from one shift to the next bc I am sitting so uncomfortable!! I am with an Agency which 2 of the caregivers is the head of the Ageny's kids. They are the 2 who can help good at times and who cannot help at all sometimes!! Please pray for my comfort! And my pain! And good caregivers at ALL times 24/7... I have one extra prayer request...... I was married 34 yrs when my husband died in late 2000. I am ready to share my life with another Christian man. I pray God will send me that Christian man to share our lives together!

My prayer request is for my financial needs. I don't get much Soc. Sec. so my monthly check doesn't even cover my monthly regular bills, which include my low mortgage payment, all utilities, including my water and sewer bill. A heating oil bill that is broken down to a budget payment all year long as is the same for my electric bill. I do have a credit card that I will only use for an emergency. I've had to barrow from a family member to help me a few times. And I've accepted help when it came time for my property taxes to come due. But now my Homeowners Insurance is coming due in a couple weeks, but I don't have the money for it. My check is a little over $700 a month because I am disabled, and a little person that I don't consider a disability. but still trying to find a job that I can work at or at least work online. I thank God for every blessing he has given me. I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior when I was a young child. I am a widow of 14 yrs. I thank all who will pray for me and anyone who is in need. God bless you all!! Patty

I am a 65 yr. old widow, little person (Dwarfism) who has had numerous back surgeries back in the 80's. The last surgery left me immobile from my waste down. I say immobile because I am not paralized & I have mostly feeling. But because of the nerve damage done it affected most of my who body. My hands & fingers are all turned in & now with painful arthritis. When they did my back surgeries they went from the base of my brain clear to my tailbone.The past few months my neck has really been hurting, which I know that means more surgery there. But the danger of the surgery there is losing the use of my upper body. I am scared to death to have surgery on my neck. But yet I can't continue on just letting it go until eventually, I still lose the use of my upper body. Being a little person had some disadvantages, but when I was walking I could do just about anything an average size person can do. So far I've seen 1 neurosurgeon who also said even with surgery to releave pain chances are I will still lose the use of my upper body. I plan on getting 2 second opinions about having surgery & will tell me about losing or not losing my upper body. My prayer request is, I'm asking God to make the right decision whether to have the surgery or not. And of course I'm asking God to please not allow my upper body to lose it use because that is all I have left now that I can't walk. Plus being a little person, which I never ever considered a disability!!

I am also asking God to help me financially because I live off of my Soc. Sec. which is only a little over $700 a mo. I cannot pay all of my monthly bills which, leaves me wondering how I'm going to pay my Property Taxes & my Homeowners Ins. coming due soon. I am also scared aout this too! I am still paying on my 1900 yr. old house because my mortage payments are only $260. a mo.I do not want to lose my house, which desperatley needs a lot of work done on it. But that can come later as I've been saying for many yrs. So if you would please pray that I make the right decision to have or not to have the surgery. Also choose the right doctor if I have the surgery. And not to lose the use of my upper body becaue I am so afraid. Then to help me financially to pay all of my bills, etc. I thank all of you who pray for me. God bless all of you who prayed for me.

My name is Patty Wastler. Please pray for me to make the right decision when it comes to having surgery on my neck. Let me back up.First, I am a "Little Person", medical term is "Dwarfism", 4'3". I've had 4 surgereies on my back (spine) from the base of my brain to my tailbone back in the early 80's at John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, MD. which is 1 of the greast hospitals known. My vertebras' was choking my spine. The last surgery was at my lower spine, but was over top of where they had already done some surgery the time before. About 4 to 4 1/2 yrs. later I slowly lost my ability to walk completely. I went from taking care of my little family which was my husband, an average size man & my daughter also a little person. I was driving & had worked a full time job. Living a life as any average size person did until I could not walk anymore, which was a devastating time of my life to get use to. And still is from time to time! But now my neck has been hurting for the past couple of months. Just the past 2 weeks I've been waking up only a few mornings with my neck hurting & a headache in the back of my head, which is scaring me. Recently I had an MRI done that shows I need surgery again. But I am so afraid that I will lose what I only have left to use, which is my arms & my hands that does have painful authorities in both. But I can still wash my face, hands, brush my teeth, feed my self, write in my journal every day, pay my own bills, etc. I'm now in a hospital bed with caregivers taking care of me so I don't have to be in a nursing home, which I was in there 2 yrs. for rehab from an open bedsore. I am very prone to getting bedsores. But I get turned every 2 hrs. And I'm in a wheelchair when I want & can go out as often as possible. I'm asking you to pray for me to get & make the right deccision on what to do about my neck. I'm thinking if I can find another good hospital with a good doctor who does laser surgery I would have a better chance then with cutting my neck. Only God can help me now. I also want you to pray for my financies because I'm only getting a little over $700 a mo. from Soc. Sec. from my husband who died in 2000. It's not enough to pay my monthly bills especially when my property tax bill comes due, homeowners ins. comes due, car ins. comes dues, etc. I have an small apartment in my home that I rent out, but 2 yrs. ago the lady wouldn't pay rent 2 mos. after moving in so I had to evict her, which she still wouldn't leave without paying rent for 6 mos. later & she had all the rights according to the law. Now my daughter & grandaughter lives there because her husband left her & she lost her second job which gives her 20 hrs. at $8 an hr. to live on. So she hasn't paid rent, but you always help your children when you can no mater what your sacrifices are. I have many more prayer request, but these are my most important . Thank you so much. I do pray for the prayer request that I get, so please let me pray for you. God bless all of you!! I apologize for my request being so long.

Please pray that somehow I get my finances increased so I can pay my bills plus my property tax bill. All I am getting is my Soc. Sec. which is just a little over $700. My property tax bill that is due now is much more then my income......Soc. Sec. I'm looking online for an online job that is legal & not a scam so I can make a little more money to help pay my monthly bills. My bills are just my regular elect., water/sewer, house, cable, fuel, etc. that I cannot pay so I have to barrow from family. Then my property tax bill on top of everything just makes me crazy. How can electric bill be so high for 1 person, me which I am disabled so I can't go out to get a job in my wheelchair because I've got to lie down to keep from getting pressure wounds, which is another name for bed sores. Thank you all for your prayers. God bless you all, Patty Wastler

I am so much pain almost all of the time. I'm going for exrays next week, at least on my neck. Back in the early 80's I had 4 different back (spinal) surgeries from the base of my brain to the bottom of my tailbone.The surgery on my neck was the worse as far as a painful recovery. I don't have a bone in the back or around my neck to protect it like others do. The doctors cut the ends of each vertabra so my spinalcord can breath. The doctors said if I would have fallen with a whiplash I would have died. The thing is, the night before I went into the hospital for surgery I tripped the night before over the metal strip going from the livingroom into the kitchen. And I did have whiplash, which hurt, but of course didn't do anything else. I've always known there is a God because I was raised in a Christian home and am so grateful for each and everyone of my family members for raising me that way. After years of ware and tare on my neck and bones almost all of my bones are extreamly painful now. I'm not sure if I have arthritis or could it be bone cancer, like my Mother died from. She started out with her arms hurting badly just as my arms have hurt me so terribly bad. Please pray for the pain I am having, which my pain medication is not helping either. My insurance has just changed this week where the ins. is not paying for my original pain medications that I've been on for a few years so it has changed to another medication that I have not ever been on before. This new medication is not helping my pain at all!! So please pray that I don't have cancer, but that this ins. and my DR. will change my medication to something that will help me!! By the way,I am already disabled in a hospital bed because the last back surgery I had has caused so much nerve damage that by 1992 I had quit walking. I did my best not to give up walking on the walker, but it got the best of me. And I am a "Little Person" as in Dwarfism,medically terminology. Thank you, Patty Wastler
