I know this feeling exactly. It's very hard to persevere, like the world has a personal vendetta on us lol. Well, I suppose they do since we're Christians!
My turn for a prayer request. I was born with cerebral palsy on my right side so I'm very left hand dependent. Today, I brought a load of firewood in from the barn and accidentally tripped as I was bringing an armful of wood up the steps. I stuck out my left hand to brace my fall, but ended up possibly fracturing a bone just below my thumb. I'll be going to get an X-ray tomorrow. This limits my handling ability something fierce! Thanks!
So Bill had a 3rd heart attack last Monday, angiogram Wed. home Thurs. He wanted to get to Mass yesterday against my wishes so we went. He ended up slipping on ice on a sidewalk and feet went right out from under him, flat on his back hard. My son who was with us got him up and took him home. I panicked and went into Mass and Fr. was at the back. He had just given Bill the sacrament of the sick Tues and I couldn't breathe when I went in but managed through tears to tell him what happened and he gave me a dispensation and said to go home with them. They were already gone when I went back out so I texted my son to come get me after he got Bill back in the house, and that I'd start walking back. We'll don't I fall on the ice too, and my son comes a few minutes later and takes me home. My youngest son is ill and needs to go to the hospital so I get Bill to come as he's now in so much pain he thinks he may have fractured a rib. So we ended up being in emerg for 9 hours (yes, the Canadian health care system is very broken). No fractures but no pain meds either due to the cardiac drugs he's on. My son had to be back for an ultrasound this morning and we're here again waiting for the results. This really feels at this point to be a spiritual attack. Please pray for our family as we are really getting our purgatory's worth!
So much at one time! Praying! O Mary conceived without sin, pray for sparrow and her family, now and at the hour of death! Amen!
