So I had been hoping but kinda knew the foot was not doing well and the past week it has really been swelling up a lot and has not been very comfortable to walk on. I am going to call the doctor tomorrow because the pain has not been like this in quite some time and that worries me. I truly do believe I am going to lose that foot at some point, I just hope it is not any time soon.
The other problem and the icing on the cake is my GF has been having some issues since her stroke in Sept. and breaking her hip in February and I had somebody over here to try to get some help with caring for her because my body is really breaking down from it and while the person was here my GF started asking about stair cases that do not exist going to rooms that do not exit and I had to try to get her to realize she was mistaken which did not go the best. I do not feel the greatest leaving her on her own not that that is the only reason I have decided not to hunt, the other listed above.
I ask you guys to pray for her, she and the dog are my world and I do not want to end up in a situation where she has to go to a nursing home, I gave her my word years ago it would not happen but at this point I am terrified that is where things are going, I am just to broken to do her much good anymore and I hate myself for it. I can't even take the dog for a walk anymore and am paying somebody to do that a few times a month.
Your a good man Steve. Prayers for all of you. Be safe, heal well. God Bless you all.
Prayers for you from Louisiana!
I am bummed for you. I'll be pulling for you and your's.
I'm so sorry to hear your having problems with your foot again. I've been frustrated lately because the driveshaft in my truck is messed up and I'm having to use my dads truck for hunting and its a 2wd, and doesn't have a stereo, and blah blah blah. After seeing post like this it's a good reminder to be thankful for my good health and not to get hung up on the other stuff. 1 Peter 2:24 says He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By His wounds you have been healed. I pray you and your girlfriend experience His healing power in your situations.

Very sorry to hear this Steve. :'( Some days you just can't seem to catch a break. I'll be praying for both of you.🙏🏼 :bible:
Thanks everyone, I do appreciate it. Thanks especially for the prayers, they mean a lot. Sorry I am not replying individually, I'm quite tired tonight and heading to bed shortly. LOL guess I am tired, I dropped the phone between L & Y in shortly because I fell asleep. Good night everyone.

both🙏🙏
Steve, I hope things get better for you.
Guys, it's easy to focus on how things are going for yourself and get down. Just remember that someone else has worse problems. I've been unable to get out and do anything for a little over a month now. I was pretty upset that I was going to miss turkey season. As much because I was on a team in the contest and knew I couldn't contribute as anything else. But I believe that once my leg heals; I will be fine and am so grateful that it wasn't worse. I do wish I had realized I had a problem sooner but can't fix that now.
Steve, we will continue to keep you and yours in our thoughts and prayers.
Steve,
Sending good thoughts your way. Hopefully you are past the worst and tomorrow is a better.
Sending prayers your way Steve, sure hope things in your life return to normal.
Feel better, Steve. I'm thinking healing thoughts for you and your GF.
Sorry to hear you might not get in the woods this Spring.
Jim
Thank you gentleman, not hearing gobbles at 5:45 in the morning while sitting in the woods is a heart breaker, but I have been through much worse over the years, this too shall pass. I was able to get a picture going into a property with the Mennonite I drive, taking him places and going to the store are the only times I leave the house right now other than church when I make it. I miss shooting the critters with my camera more than I do my gun believe it or not.
The person is coming back tomorrow to try to finish the interview with my GF hopefully that goes well. My GF does not want them to get involved with handling her money but I want them to because I just don't like handing another persons money, every time I buy something at the stores with her cash I am questioning myself, I have seen lots of former friends take advantage of their woman and steal from them and I don't want to be accused of that and more than that I don't want to be that, I hate those guys.
@Cliff you keep fighting, you will get there, it does take time, often more than we want but don't do yourself more harm that good by being a lunkhead and going against doctors orders.
Hang in there Steve, we're all pulling for you!
Hang in there buddy!
Thank you gents.
Prayers on the way from Pgh Pa Steve.

Thanks, please pray for her, she has fallen 3 times in the past week, she came close to going through the bathroom window the other day, broke the first pane and the other night I was asleep at 2:30 in the morning roughly and was awoken to the sound of her haven fallen, got out of bed fast yelling where are you because I did not know where she had fallen and I got out of bed without my glasses on and I am blind as a bat without sonar without my glasses.

That's a gorgeous shot! I was going to ask if you'd had the chance to take any pictures. Hope you're still finding immense joy and satisfaction in the photography.

Pretty much that is the only decent one that I have gotten, I am just not out, I am taking care of her most of the time. I did got these but I am not really happy with them to be honest, I had the speed set wrong and was leaning over the hood of the truck which is a nono as it causes heatwaves but I did not have the time to set up the tripod. Notice the blackbird dive bombing him.

Well I am going to have to ask you guys for prayers again, she fell last night and broke the other hip this time and will need surgery again. Worse part for me (And clearly her) is the truck is broke down and I have no way to get back and forth to the hospital and I feel like such a piece of crap because she is there alone. I am going to see if my Pastor can give me a ride after church. We think the barrings are gone on the drivers side front of the truck and I need to see if the mechanic can get me in sooner since she is in the hospital.
Prayers sent for you both Steve.
Thoughts and prayers for both of you.
Thanks guys. She had the surgery yesterday, basically the same break as the last time on the other hip and the same surgical procedure. I still have not been able to see her though as I can't find a ride which I am unhappy about. I think she is trying to catch up with me in the broken bones and surgeries list.
Hang in there Steve. They say "It's always darkest before the dawn". We'll keep praying for you here in Alabama.

Thanks bud. I am to the point that I think it would be better that God take her home so she does not have to suffer anymore. She does not even know where she is quite often anymore and I hate seeing how scared she is. She is and has always been such a wonderfully intelligent woman which is what attracted me to her in the first place and all of that is beginning to leave her rapidly and the worst part is that she is often aware that she is slipping away. She thought she was in my apartment the last couple of days and she has been in the hospital half and hour away roughly. I wish it were me feeling all that she is feeling so she did not have to. I hate this for her. I am just grateful she accepted Christ and will not have to suffer in the hereafter.
That is a huge bummer to be sure, but there will be other seasons.

Thanks bud, at this time I could truly care less about the season though, hope that does not come off jerkish, not intended to. I just want things to go well for her. I was able to be there yesterday, have to go today but have had no sleep at all. They are going to transfer her to where she was before when she broke the first hip in February, I hope she gets a roommate that is as good as that one was. I don't think she should be transferred yet but they are passing the buck because her Ins. is not very good (if you live in NY do not get Humana, nobody wants to take them as they are known for not paying their bills, seems they are better in the South for whatever reason) her ins. has been a problem since Sept. when she had the brain aneurysm bleed and I think it has led to the falls. I have tried to get her to change it but she won't or says she will then flipflops.
Continued prayers for her please.
