I have had a nasty virus the past few days, causing a lot of dizziness. I ended up sent home from work yesterday, then in a and e later on when i felt dramatically worse.
I need to call in sick today, which is scaring me, even though i know they are understanding people.
Please pray for my nerves and to feel better, also for the doctor i have been referred on to to find out what, if anything, is wrong (i am daring to hope that this may explain the tiredness and frequent illness i have struggled with)

I have to have a series of invasive tests with the first one being on Monday. I am reminding myself that just because a symptom could be a warning of something serious doesn't mean it is.
Also the nature of the tests is such that they could cause flashbacks to a series of traumatic experiences.
I would appreciate prayers for courage and calm.
Thank you.

Today I received an e-mail from my friend L about how she spent Valentine's Day. In pertinent part (with suitable editing to obscure names) it read:
quote: I was home with a migraine yesterday, but most of my day (once I got up “officially”) was spent negotiating terms to get a friend away from her verbally & physically abusive boyfriend. I certainly couldn’t go get her, and D [L's husband] wouldn’t have allowed me to go into that situation alone, so he went up to get her, and she wouldn’t go with him. He turned around and left, but then she called me again and wanted to go, so I called him and told him to turn around, which he did, and he brought her to our house, where she talked for a bit, then took a long nap, then had dinner with us, and then D took her home. (She lives with her mom due to not driving due to a car accident 5 years ago in which she sustained a brain injury, was out of work and in rehab for about two years, etc., so she can’t drive again yet, etc.) And not that anyone NEEDS to be punched upside the face/head, but a person with a brain injury especially does not need more damage to that area, along with the psychological goodies it brings.
Protecting a friend from abuse may well be the absolute best way to spend a Valentine's Day that I have ever heard.
I would request prayers for L's friend and also pray for the Lord to bless L. She has her own medical issues and problems and yet they don't stop her from standing up for her friends.

Mrs Shrew, Huia, Hedgehog.
The Telemum has a lot of pain in her knees, taking paracetamol to little effect. She dismisses the idea of seeing a doctor about it because at best, they would give her painkillers, and it's obvious to her that all painkillers are just like Tramadol.
Continued employment etc for me pls, kthx

I woke up with a recurrence of my vertigo - I've not had it for over 2 years so have completely forgotten which of the miscellaneous boxes of drugs that I have is supposed to treat this! Getting an appt with the doctor is probably impossible, the chemists are shut today, and I need to prepare my lessons for the week. Please can you pray that I manage to get through everything reasonably well, without succumbing to the nausea that is prowling around. And that I act sensibly in dealing with this...Thank you.

My appointment on 28th turns out not to be the actual colonoscopy, but a 20-minute referral. And now I'm nervous because the symptoms are not as great as when I originally saw my GP. I don't want to be seen as a silly middle-aged woman who worries too much (even if it is true!)

Thank you for youir prayers for P - tests have confirmed her cancer isn't back again and the lack of contact has been because she's been busy with various domestic things.
T seems to be doing reasonably well, and has people looking in on him regularly.
(And Hedgehog, thank you for that kind prayer - I live too far away from both of them to feel a lot of use!)

Lois has gone on to Glory. Those of us who loved her sassy sense of humor and great affection for all will miss her greatly. Especially her sister I. I believe she is the last of the family.

For Taliesin's daughters. For El, that she may feel peace, and allow others to help her. That Taliesin manages to help all who need helping in the time that she has, without two people needing her at once.
For financial wisdom for Mad Cat.
For healing for Dormouse.
For healing for Niteowl.
For healing for Starbug.
For the woman known to Dormouse, whose husband committed suicide while depressed.
For Margaret's P, for continued healing. For T, for healing.
For jedijudy's Lois and all who will miss her, especially her sister I.
For healing for Mr Bee.
For me, for continued employment etc. I am very socially isolated now. I am feeling a bit resentful that I have to jump through so many hoops to make even the smallest connection with another person. My phone rang the other day and I eagerly grabbed it up; turned out my friend had accidentally butt-dialled me. That happened the last time she called, too. Six months ago. I also know what happens to people when they start to feel like I'm feeling right now: they become very undesirable friends to have.

Thanks for the support and prayers everyone. Scan results showed abnormalities (which may still be benign). This means that I have some more invasive procedures coming up to investigate things further.
I'd consider running away to sea, but I don't think middle-aged cabin girls with a fear of heights would be welcome.
