Prayers needed please

Post by observer1 »

Hello all. Some of you noticed that I hadn't been on here for a while. I was & still am going onto a dating forum. While on there, I became "cyper-attached" to a very special man. He swept me off my feet, so to speak. He was an ER doctor from the west coast.

Just recently, he suffered a brain aneurysm & was hospitalized for 2 weeks. He's now home. But unfortunately, he's partially paralyzed & has trouble with his speech.

He's only 37 & was in the prime of his career. He'd recently moved to help his best friend's widow out financially. He quit his job & moved to another state. Now, I'm afraid, she'll probably have to help him more than he can help her.

All I'm asking for is prayers & well wishes for him, as he begins his long struggle to regain some semblance of his life back. I'm praying & trying to keep his spirits up, but I can only do so much. So, please keep him in your thoughts. It would mean so very much to me! :(

Where have I heard that one before? I take this sort of thing as G_d's way of saying that he needs to stop taking care of everyone else for awhile and heal himself for once as he's now become "the wounded healer". Hopefully his prayers will be answered and he'll be back and better than ever once again.

This is going to be a long healing process and time of growth for him and he's not going to be himself for quite some time, but he'll get better and likely obtain a great deal of wisdom, understanding, have even more compassion towards his patients and others and be an inspiration to other sufferers when he eventually recovers to whatever extent, as long as he continues to push forward with his recovery.

Thank you all so much for your prayers & well-wishes! They're so very much appreciated!! :-4

UPDATE:

He started rehab & is working very hard to regain things. He gets frustrated, which is expected, but trudges on with it.

He suffered a small set-back about 2 weeks ago. He was telling me he had a bad headache again. I asked him to please get it checked. Turns out, he had a subdural hematoma... blood clot on the brain. They drilled into his skull & relieved pressure. He's back home & back onto the road to recovery.

Last week, he got an offer to practice in a clinic. He'd be a third doctor there, & working at a slower pace & lighter caseload. That way he could continue with his therapy.

Apparently, your well-wishes & prayers are working, so please don't stop!! :-6

Thank you all once again! :-4

I'd love to. But right now, he doesn't want me to see him like that. Perhaps once he's gotten a little further in rehab.
