Will you please pray for me and my wife?

FRiends,

The edema and infections are getting worse and I'm scared that I will lose one or both of my feet or even my legs. My feet are about two-and-a-half times their normal size. It will be very hard to take care of my wife (stroke last year) and myself if I lose my mobility. I appreciate any and all prayers, thoughts, best wishes or whatever. This is like a second home for me and I have many good friends here that I've never met in person. Thank you!

I find comfort in this Bible verse:

Psalm 40:17 NIV

But as for me, I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. Your are my help and my deliverer; Your are my God, do not delay.

I don’t either but, it seems like there should be some way to help you.

Would it be possible to go outside the VA?

Have you asked the VA about second opinions?

You and your wife are in my thoughts, 2DV. The prayers of hundreds can work miracles. Here’s hoping one happens for you.

Done, and God bless you.

You’ve probably already scoured the internet for information and advice on edema and complications along with your VA doctors. Sometimes disease specific support groups and such can be a great source of good info too. Hopefully there may be something here. Stress can make things worse.

Prayers will continue for as long as needed.

May I ask if this is an open wound infection? Remember when JimRob was facing surgery for a non healing wound? He started on some ‘honey’ therapy, and it evidently put off and saving that leg. I don’t know if this sort of treatment is available to you or if it is adaptable to your situation.

Sorry to hear about your plight. Prayers up!

PS - You should definitely lay in a supply of Castor Oil and rub it into your legs from knee down - I’d bet after a few thorough treatments you would lose most if not all swelling.

Let it stay on for well after the oil is dry and wash it off with epsom salts. If the swelling is advanced remember to do this three or four times before expecting results. Stay off your feet for awhile too.

Best!
