Prayer Request for our Friend, Paula Taylor!

With Paula's permission, I am requesting prayers for her, this a copy of an email I have received from Paula recently as I was inquiring how she was feeling.  I believe strongly about the power of prayers and Paula does too:

ROSE

I AM HAVING PROBLEMS NOW FROM THE SURGERY I HAD TO REMOVE THE LUMP IN MY NECK.  I HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO EAT MUCH BECAUSE I HAVE SO MUCH PAIN WHEN I DO EAT. IT IS LIKE I HAVE A CANKOR SORE IN MY THROAT AND WHEN I EAT IT FEELS LIKE I POURED SALT ON THE SORES. I HAD BEEN TAKING IBUPROFEN BEFORE I ATE TO EASE THE PAIN.


I HAD TO SEE MY ONCOLOGIST THURSDAY AND HE SAID THAT THERE I SKIN HANGING IN THE THE THROAT AND I HAVE SOME LIASIONS THAT ARE VERY SORE LOOKING.

I NOW HAVE TO GO BACK TO DR EMERICK BECAUSE HE IS THE SURGEON. IN THE MEANTIME, DR CLARK GAVE ME A PRESCRIPTION FOR MY THROAT. IT IS A LIQUID WITH LYDOCAINE, BENADRYL AND SOMETHING ELSE TO NUMB THE THROAT SO THAT I CAN EAT. I LOST 6 POUNDS SINCE MY LAST VISIT.


I TRIED THE PRESCRIPTION THURSDAY NIGHT AND IT WORKED. I SAT DOWN TO WATCH TELEVISION AFTER I ATE AND THAT IS THE LAST THING I REMEMBER.  I HAVE SUCH A LOW TOLERANCE TO DRUGS. I AM CUTTING DOWN ON THE AMOUNT PRESCRIBED. I NEED TO BE ABLE TO FUNCTION WITHOUT FALLING ASLEEP.



Hugs, Rose

  2. Dear Paula,
    Very sorry to learn of your latest health issues.
    Having gone through a similar situation of not
    wanting to eat fearing pain, I can relate to that.

    I am glad that the medication works for you to give
    you some relief. Stay with what works and
    we hope and pray that you will recover to enjoy life
    again.
    God bless,
    Sal Carmosino
