All,

The best of holidays to you all and your families. I hope your immense appetite for detailing products doesn't upset the financial apple cart this season and that you all get what you want under the tree. I know many of you guys just bought them for yourselves anyway!!).

We all have had bad things occur to us and I'm sure I am not alone in this category around the holidays. That's how I happened upon AG and all this stuff about auto care.

I have been going through some very serious medical issues the past year and a half, all causing huge amounts of anxiety, fear and of course the physical side effects & aspects associated w/recovery. Not to bleed all over the keyboard, but my situation included major (like, really major) abdominal surgery, post-operative radiation/chemo treatments and then scans & tests every 2-3 mos. After these past 18 mos., I've come up the curve and begun to feel like "myself" again. Have had a yr. of really great test results. My latest scan the other day showed a little "something" different and I need to have another test where they look closer at it endoscopically and take a sample to test.....so, back on the anxiety/dread/fear merry-go-round again. It scares me so and I pray that I will be OK so I can just "be" and live a long, happy life in peace. It seems so difficult and debilitating and I know some of you can relate to this. If you can find it in yourself, have a good thought or say a prayer that all will be OK with me in this trying time and this is just something that amounts to just nothing.

Update: Jan. 11, 2010 - After juggling schedules & ensuring that I have someone with me for the test (especially to get me home after anesthesia :p) it's now scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 12th. Thanks again to all who have sent their best & prayers to me. Set the good thought-GPS for zip 14642 next week and keep them beaming in that direction. Thanks an awful lot guys. It means a lot for you to care.

Update: Jan. 22, 2010 - Just thought I'd add a quick status about the tests last week and thank you all again for your concern and well wishes. The test I had on Jan. 12 had to be aborted for safety reason midway through and is now rescheduled again for Jan. 26 @ 1PM EST. Seems that my three degrees failed me and I didn't interpret the prior day's eating instructions correctly. (Plus my specific system doesn't digest food as quickly as others, so some remained in my stomach.) The doctor and I discussed that prior to attempting the process, but decided to try anyway, just couldn't be finished. Plus, had another scan like I have had every 2-3 mos. for the past year+ on Friday. By the time I was done with that, I was cooked and the balance of Friday was shot, as was Saturday. But, the sun popped out here on Sunday and I was feeling better. Just still the growing anxiety of doing the test over again, this time under general anesthesia. What fun....... Just keep praying and hoping I AM healthy and FREE of disease. Reset your good thoughts & prayer beams for zip 14642 again on Jan. 26th @ 1PM. Thanks so much for caring guys.

Hope all of you have a great holiday and enjoy all those AG products, too.............just watch out for all the tempting new introductions, sales and BOGO's.

I will say a prayer for you tonight Bob. I hope the latest scan is nothing serious and you continue to climb up that curve. I also wish you and your loved ones a joyful and wonderful Christmas! Keep us informed.
 
Bob,
Wishing you the best of luck and my prayers are with you.
 
Bob,

My wife and I will be pulling for you and wishing you the best. Good luck to you.

Dear Bob and family,

I read this thread this morning and realized I had been somewhat resting on my laurals and begining to take all of the wonderful blessings that have been bestowed apon me for granted. This morning is the first time in a while that I have "hit my knees" and prayed.

I have "come back" from a tragic way of life, Recovered you could say from a very debilitating state, (some call it bad choices or lack of will power, some call it disease) Whatever my case truly may be is open for interpretation. But I have recovered from it.

The most important thing for me to remember is that my friends, family and loved ones had been praying for me all through it, Then one day I was "able" to pray an earnest prayer for help. "Immediately" I found myself placed in the path of people who would encourage me to continue this prayer and meditation, they showed me how to pray and they prayed for me too.

Eventually I learned to be optomistic, to look at all the good things that life had to offer and to always remember that I can take very little if any credit for the blessings I had freely been given. Sometimes life gets so good that I forget all of this and I start patting myself on the back and taking credit where it is not mine to take, then someone like you comes along and reminds me that "For the GRACE OF GOD, there go I"

Having said all of that I want to thank you for being the one who helped me to see the error of my ways and who had inspired to "hit my knees" once again!!

This morning it was a prayer of thanks and a prayer for you and for your family in these trying times. I pray that you be carried through all of these trials unharmed and unafraid and that you and your family may have a wonderful and happy holiday and many happy new years to come.

Again "thank you from the bottom of my heart"

Sincerally, Tuscarora Dave
 
Praying for you Bob.

This time of the year it is important to see what you do have to be thankful for, because no matter how bad you think you got it, someone has it worse, Bob has brought that to our attention. So best wishes for you Bob and your family, we will all send our prayers and best wishes. And for all of us, take a moment and look at what you have to be thankful for, we all get busy and don't take the time to stop and smell the roses we have.
 
Good luck to you, I hope everything will be fine.

For me, for the second year in a row...December isn't a good month for me. Last sunday my gf ( now ex ) and we broke up. So now she's moving her things from my place. Christmas won't be like I thought it will be.

It's nothing like you, but it sucks.

I will pray for you. Remember JESUS shed His blood for OUR healing. The bible says by His stripes WE are healed. For those of you who don't believe. The bible also says ,"Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that JESUS CHRIST is Lord" EVERYONE will do this at some point. HIS word shall not return to Him void. It willaccomplish what He set it out to Do!

It's always very endearing when a forum member can share the hardships they're going through with an online community like we have here at AutogeekOnline.net and like Meghan alluded to, sharing a part of yourself can help the rest of us to better appreciate and be thankful for all the good things in our lives.

We appreciate that you feel like you're among friends that care and I'm sure there are many members that while they may not tag onto this thread with a post they certainly will keep you in their prayers and hope for the best for your health.

It's often said if you don't have your health you don't have anything and all it takes is an accident or an health issue to drive this point home. Besides getting the medical tests you need and the care and supervision from professionals in the health industry, it's just as important to stay positive as this will help your recovery.

So stay positive, know that life is a series of hills and valleys and while it's never fun to go through the valleys there are better times to come in the future.

Our family will be praying for you, Bob. Here is a scripture that I hope will help:

6 In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
Phil 4:6-7 (ASV)

Having all of your family close this Christmas will make things seem more bearable. Just know that your AG family is here for you too, and we wish you the very best. Have a Merry Christmas!!
 
It feels good to genuinely pray for someone and I thank you for giving me the opportunity to make both our Christmas's a little brighter. You are in my prayers.
 
I can very much empathize with you. I have been very ill through the past 3 years and have yet to determine why. My heart goes out to you and your family. I pray that you can be at peace and be encouraged. Much love from my family an I.
 
Here is just one more reason why I love this forum!!! Bob, you are definitely in my thoughts and prayers. I am a living testimony of God's grace. He has blessed me with a life I'm so undeserving of, but even with all of His graciousness, I have also learned what it means to be thankful in times of fear and anxiety. It's during those trials that I can honestly say my strength came not from me, but from Christ living in me. When I think of the things He has seen me through, my faith is renewed and I can't help but praise Him. And that happened this morning as I was reading through this thread. The members of this forum amaze me with their care and concern for one another. In addition to my prayer for you, I also say a prayer for the Autogeek.net community for all that you've brought to me this year.
Praise God for Whom ALL blessings flow...
 
My thought's and prayers go out to you and your family. Keep a strong and positive outlook toward the future. Happy holidays and be well.
