Subject: Request for prayers

I just got off the phone with one of my favorite nieces. Debbie has an aneurysm behind the right frontal lobe, and she will be having surgery as soon as it can be scheduled. She had a stroke a couple of years ago that left her partially paralyzed on one side and thus unable to work. Lately she has been falling down a lot, and the local doctors couldn't find the problem, so they sent her to the hospital in Albany while they ran more tests last weekend. This week she had to go have more tests, and they finally found the problem. The doctors want to do the surgery as soon as possible, hopefully within the next few days. Of course Debbie is stressed about having to go through this, especially since she just found out two weeks ago that one of her aunts that she is very fond of has cancer that is inoperable.

Debbie is my second oldest brother Tom's oldest living child, my second oldest niece, and we just recently renewed our relationship after many years of not seeing each other. She had lived out of the area for many years but moved back to town this past fall. She came knocking on my door a few days before Christmas and has been coming over several times a week since then. She has a generous nature, and although she suffers from depression and is on medication for that, almost always finds something to say or do to make me smile. These past few months we have shared many old memories and spent lots of hours catching up on each other's lives. She asked me to add her Aunt Faye to my prayer list and to ask my online friends to also pray for her too.

I should know more tomorrow after Debbie sees her doctor again, but in the meantime, I would appreciate all the prayers you can spare for her and for Faye. Thanks in advance, as I know many of you will do that.

I am very tired tonight though I can't imagine why, haven't done much the past couple of days except fix dinner and a few little oddball things around the house, but nothing heavy, as I have been "dragging" since Thursday. I think the old bird will be hitting the roost real soon as it's been a busy day of visiting here and talking to my "out of town kid" on the phone. Tom did the dishes tonight, but I cooked the dinner; roast pork, fresh aspargus, cheesy white sauce, mashed potatoes, and of course, gravy. (Cholesterol delight, eh?) Oh well, we only live once, and what is the sense of being if you can't enjoy the food too?

Peace and love,
a weary nightowl
