dear Sojourner,
I have just been reading your reply to Jacy, and my heart goes out to you with the news that your dear wife has had a stroke.
Sorry I am a little late, but how I feel for her, and the difficulties you both face.

I have not had a stroke, but I do suffer from swallowing and speech difficulties, and TMJ and been ill most of my life, spending most of it in bed. But the Lord came into my life through reading the Word of God back in 1975 when I felt I had lost just about everything, and wanted to take my life. The following years were just amazing!

Last year, I found my husband collapsed on the floor, and could not speak to phone a doctor. Eventually a friend called him for me, knowing my difficulties, and she is ill herself. They suspected epileptic fit, and further night ones followed. It was a very trying and testing time, as my husband is my carer/cum everything else. He was banned from driving for a year, but thanks be to God, his driving has been reinstated now.

I will be adding my prayers for Brenda and your situation.
May God undertake for all your needs.

Love in Christ from English Rose
