I am praying for you, OneVike. May the Lord grant you a refreshing, restful sleep tonight. May He guide the doctor and give you the precise course you need to heal. May you have a speedy recovery and return to your life.
I would like to humbly thank each and everyone of you for praying for me these last two days. I know God was listening and that He answered your prayers for me. I am feeling better and the worst case scenarios are not even considered to be in the equation of my problems. Praise God.
It’s been a long day, but I have a lot of questions answered and I feel much less nervous about my situation.
From what was discovered, it looks more like I have an intestinal bug that has irritated things. I was given three antibiotics to rid the problem, but I also have an appointment with an gastroenterologist to get a barrage of tests to make sure there isn’t something they missed.
I still have some pain but nothing like yesterday, however I have yet to eat anything of substance other than some cream of chicken soup. So I guess the true test will be when I have a normal meal. I want to thank everyone for the advice which was given also. I will definitely look into many of the dietary suggestions and maybe alter my eating habits some and be more conscious of my age (57) by not taking for granted the life I have been given and the future I face.
I have faith that God has blessed me with a good Christian Dr whom I have complete confidence in and myriads of friends like all her at FreeRepublic who are willing to pray for me in my time of need.
God bless you all for lifting me up to Him for prayer in my time of need. If things change before or after I see the gastroenterologist I will share with an update. Again I want to thank you all for your prayers my FRiends.
I’m tired right now so it’s off to bed early tonight so I can get up to work in the morning. I’m salary and could probably milk this for all it’s worth, but that’s just not the way I was raised. Besides another day off after the long holiday weekend and then with this trouble the last two days, my wife is probably looking forward to a normal day herself. So regardless if I am 100% or not I will be at work tomorrow.

Praise God that you are better now!
Thanks, it’s much appreciated.
I posted an update of my situation just seconds after you posted your prayer to me.
Very good to hear that you are on the mend. Just be sure and keep up a good intake of fluids.
I know how scary it was for you, my having had a similar experience.
Thanks for the update... one minor thing, you might want to avoid “cream of...” soups for the time being until you have the all clear. Stick with a nice brothy chicken noodle soup. :-)
I’m glad you’re getting better. I’m keeping you in my prayers.
Thanks for the update. I’m glad you were able to get treatment for your symptoms, and that it wasn’t anything serious. Glad to hear you have an appointment with a gastroenterologist. Let us know how you make out.
Thank you for this good news update. 8D
Sounds like you’re on the road to recovery.
At least you know what was eating you.
Told yuh you’d be fine.
H20, tons of it and a cup of coffee in the morning...
try a swallow of Pepto Bismol. Keeps things a bit solid and Gas-x, to reduce the pressure...
When you feel up to it, hit that lil bugger with some fruits and you’ll be up to no good, in not time...
Father, bless and keep OneVike through this by the grace and truth of Jesus. Amen.
Great! Thank you for the update. Continued prayer here.
Such good news, OneVike! I would definitely make sure they check for Chron’s as many here have pointed out. My ex-wife has it, and it sounds very much like your symptoms. May God continue to bless you, and bring you back to 100 percent quickly!
Thanks for the update. Glad you are going to the specialist, though to check out for sure.
God bless.
I'll be praying for you and your wife, for strength, encouragement and grace to get through this knowing you have the Lord God of the universe on your side. Keep us posted and thanks for allowing us to share with you in your needs and joining together to petition our Lord with hopeful prayer knowing that HE is able to make all things work together for our good.
So glad to read this news! Will continue to hold you and your wife in my prayers.
