Today is the third day my back is hurting really bad. On a scale of 1 to 10 it’s about a 7 and that’s after the pain medicine I’m on. Something is definitely wrong and I am really struggling.
I tried all day to get some extra pain medicine or find out if I could take more of what I have, but was unsuccessful. I just called the Dr. on call and got another prescription for tonight and found out how much more of the morphine I currently have thag I can take tonight. He also told me to add in two ibuprofen every 8 hours.
Please pray that this will relieve the pain enough so that I can sleep. I slept really horrible last night because I was in so much pain. I meet with my palliative care nurse during my infusion tomorrow, so I’m thankful to be able to discuss it more with her. I was also people to get an orthopedic doctor appointment on Wednesday to talk to him about strengthening my back somehow.
Please also pray for our girls and Tom as they see me like this. This isn’t something I can hide and I wish I could. Thanks friends.
Praying for you now! Sometimes after lying in bed I get pinched nerves or sciatia & laying on some frozen veggies for 20 min. helps to calm any pinched nerves, inflammation & swelling, or a series of back stretches forward, back & side to side & massages. It sounds like you are in serious pain & your back muscles are also contracting & cramping to protect your spine. So sorry, I pray you get some sleep tonight.
Oh dear Jennifer, I think about you and pray for you on my walk every single day! Thank you for sharing from your heart so we know better what to ask of the Lord.
Lord please help Jennifer not to be discouraged when it must feel as if you don’t answer. Strengthen her mind and heart and please bring comfort to her hurting body. Guard Tom, Sage, Molly and Ashley, giving wisdom and understanding to the whole family. We trust you Lord for the plan you have even though we don’t understand it. Thank you God for your great love and mercy.
Love you Jennifer,
Debbie
Sooo sorry I can’t carry your pain for you at least part of it to make it bearable. I’ll pray for Jesus to give you relief and strengthen you to get through it. Praying for Tom and the girls as well as your mom. Love you!
So sorry Jennifer, you are so much on our hearts and in our prayers! Will pray the medicines will work and you can get a good nights sleep! Hugs and prayers, Bobbie
Lord have mercy. Hear our prayers
Holding you, Tom, and the girls in my heart as you navigate this situation. Many hugs coming your way. xo
I am so sorry to hear this. Praying for you and your family.
Lord, have mercy, and relieve Jennifer’s pain and suffering. In the meantime, strengthen her inner spirit to cling to you and to accept your strength in her weakness. Come to her, Lord, and sit with her through the night. Thank you for promising to always be there.
Praying for you all tonight! ♥️
Dear Jennifer, If only somehow I could relieve your pain I would. Yet all I can do is pray, trusting God to intervene with His mercy and grace. May He bless you with peaceful sleep tonight under His watchful eye. And may tomorrow be much better than today. Praying for Tom and the girls, that God will give them enough strength and courage to share with you. They love you so much, but they’re strong. You don’t need hide from them. God loves each of you as His own. Praise His holy name. My love and prayers, Nancy
Praying for you Jennifer!!!!!
Sweet Heavenly father, I pray right now for you to place your healing hand upon Jennifer and relieve ALL pain in her back. Lord allow her to get rest, to find a comfortable place in you, and a peace that surpasses all understanding. We love you Lord and trust you and your plan. In your mighty name I pray, amen.
I love you friend.
Just read this… praying now and will continue, especially for sleep and pain relief tonight… love you friend!! ❤
Praying, Praying, Praying for each one of those request and praying some more. I am also thanking Jesus for the way that He is answering these prayers.
Dear Jennifer, would you be helped by a visit, or would that not be helpful right now? I was thinking of stopping by and just being there from a safe distance. I could read the Psalms or just sit and be there.
Dearest Lord, please take this cup from her!
So sorry to hear that you are suffering and unable to rest. I pray you will get quick relief from your pain. May God give you comfort and peace. Praying for wisdom for your doctors in your treatment moving forward.
Praying Jennifer, that God will give you rest, relief from pain and strength to endure!
Jen,
I know there is probably not a lot I can say that will help you feel better, because the pain doesn’t just stop with the right words. But because I understand some of what you experience from my own pain, please know that your suffering will have a positive effect on your kids in the whole scheme of things. It will, if not at first, make them even more empathetic. I’m not saying they won’t suffer as they see you go through it, but you can’t take that burden on yourself because it isn’t your fault. I know it’s hard to do, but try to put their suffering in God’s Hands because He is the only One who can make something good come from it, and you already have enough to deal with. That goes for Tom as well, even though I’m sure he is suffering just as much or more so, in that he probably feels helpless to ease your pain. If it would help him at all, message me for Gene’s number if Tom needs somebody to talk to who can somewhat relate. We love you and will continue to pray for you all.
Jennifer. I am so sorry to hear that you are in so much pain. Please know I am continuing to pray. I don’t have words of wisdom to offer but I know Jesus has promised never to leave you or forsake you. That gives me great comfort to know He’s right there with you. I love you. Bonnie
My heart breaks to read about your pain. Only God can truly understand where you are at and what your body is going through. But He is faithful. Never doubt where He is leading. He has you in His arms and will never leave you. Praying for pain relief, wisdom and a peace only God can give. Love you and your family so much!!
