As some of you know, we've both been having some health issues. My leg is frequently infected from diabetic wounds on my feet. I can't afford to lose my leg because there's no one else who can help my wife who had a stroke last year. Now my ancient car's brakes are giving out, which will make it almost impossible for us to get to the doctor, pharmacy, hospital and store. Thank you for your prayers and good wishes and don't forget JimRob as well. Thanks in advance.

Prayers for you and your wife.
If I may ask, do you know what part of the brake system is failing? (master cylinder, wheel cylinders or pads)

[lonestar]

I am praying for both of you.

"I can't afford to lose my leg because there's no one else who can help my wife who had a stroke last year."

Then G-d should certainly help you because you thought of your wife first.

You are part of my family too! Prayers your way and for your wife. Prayers for Jim as well. You sound a bit down. I hope your spirits are lifted. I realize you are going through some really tough times and I am truly sorry someone as nice as you are going through this. (((hugs)))) Mom

It’s not making any noises, so I don’t think it’s the brakes themselves and the fluid is still there. The pedal is getting “squishy” and traveling farther towards the floor. Wouldn’t that be the master cylinder or booster? I’m no mechanic of any kind. It’s a 1984 M-B 300D turbo diesel.

I am lifting you and your family up to the Lord in prayer. Blessings.

Praying for you.

Remember, suffering can be redemptive. Unite your sufferings to those of Christ and offer them for someone else you know who is in need or who needs a spiritual awakening. The result may startle you.

If you are retired military or, have a friend with base priviledges and you live near a base having an auto hobby shop, take your car there. The people at the auto hobby shop will teach you how to repair the brakes. A brake job can be inexpensive if you do it yourself.

Prayers sent. May the Good Lord in Heaven supply your every need and bring healing. And thank you for your service to our country.

Prayers up for you all.

If you have front disc brakes, find someone to replace just the front pads for now. They're sometimes on sale for less than twenty bucks at Autozone.

It's an easy job that only takes about 1 to 2 hours. Do a search on Youtube for video instructions, if you think you can DIY.

God Bless you and your wife!

If the brake booster goes, the pedal gets hard to press because you've lost the vacuum assist. Squishy pedal can mean air in the line, or a master cylinder going bad.

God Bless You, Sir

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
