Two prayer requests
Posted: Thu Jul 31, 2008 11:12 pm
Hello everyone, I have two prayer requests.
Firstly, I've developed a problem with my throat. I've noticed a small lump near it, and shortly after noticing it, I've developed a cough that won't seem to go away. Along with the cough, I find that I'm having to clear my throat all the time. The area on the right side of my face, from under my chin down the side of my neck is also a bit swollen. I'm concerned that it might be cancer. I've had 3 appointments for it, and each time I went to the doctor, he's either given me medicine that didn't work, or he's said to wait a little longer to see if it will go away.
While I'm concerned for my health in general of course, at this point I would at least like to ease my mind by knowing for sure that it's not cancer.
Also, a less urgent, but nevertheless troublesome need I have is to move out of my mom's house. I love her, and under normal circumstances I could possibly put up with living with her for at least another year. However, her boyfriend who now lives here just won't stop smoking and drinking. He's not abusive or anything, but he just won't quit. Please pray for him and my mother as well. To add to that -- I have a minor heart condition where my heartrate is a bit faster than it should be (nothing major the doctors say, but by itself it sometimes causes me to get jittery which sometimes causes an ocassional shortness of breath). So having all this smoke in the house all of the sudden only makes my breathing worse.
The problem is I don't have a job, and while I am looking for work I won't actually be able to live on my own for a while even once I do get a job. I was thinking perhaps along the lines of seeing if I could share a house with a friend or something.
So please pray for my mom's boyfriend, my mom herself, and me. I appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
