Prayer Request for FReeper MyFavoriteHeadache

Doug "MyFavorteHeadache" Maher called me from the hospital tonight. He was experiencing back and chest pain today and decided to have it checked out.... turns out that he has a blood clot in his lung that could possibly move to his heart. They have him all tubed up with all kinds of drugs and blood thinners, and he's understandably a bit shook up as this is the same affliction that killed his dad at the age of 37. He'll probably be on blood thinners for he rest of his life.

For those who don't know Doug, he's a great guy all around. We're in a local organization together but our activism goes back several years.

The above pic (that's Doug on the left about to shove his sign up the stinky Rat's a$$) was taken in West Palm during the near riots of the 2000 elections, when we (and several other FReepers) nearly had our heads handed to us by angry Rats. This photo wound up on the front page of the NY Times, NY post, Stars and Stripes just to name a few. It was also featured on a 2 page spread in USA Today and was in numerous papers around the world. I happend to pull this one off the Chandigarth Tribune in India, where it's still up to this day.

As I said, Doug is a great guy and an A+ American. Say a prayer for him, even though I know God is going to take good care of him.

I am convinced that the prayers of loving strangers have helped me to survive.
I offer up my personal prayer for DFU.

Well thank God you got this warning. Take care of yourself. And we expect to see you back here ASAP. Don't make us come and get you now. We know where you live. :)

May God's blessings be onto you.

I almost had the same thing happen to me, except the blood clot was in my abdomen. Luckily, I survived (it hurt like hell though.)

I am now on blood thinners for the rest of my life. Tell Doug I am with him in spirit. He'll get thru just fine, and being on blood thinners ain't that bad.

Life is such a beautiful thing, people. Enjoy every minute of it. Doug, you'll be in my prayers, buddy.

You've got it, buddy. Tell him we are actively and openly praying for him here - he has friends all over this globe who are praying for his healing!

Father, we bring Doug to you, and we know that you are already on the case. Father, let us recognize your hand, and let the doctors be open to your guidance. Lead them, Father, to a cure for Doug...
