Brothers and Sisters:

Christ is in our midst!!

Having invoked St. Nektarios--holy physician of souls and bodies; icon of the Divine Physician--for the past couple weeks, I ask that in your charity you would offer a prayer for Loretta, my wife, for an ongoing cough she has had for the past three weeks and cannot shake. She has seen her physician and has no real answer.

Please offer one for me, too, for a problem I have with my left hand. Somehow I have injured it badly and it is swollen so that I cannot grasp anything nor bend my fingers. It swelled so fast that I barely got my wedding ring off last Thursday.

Thank God for each of you and thank you.

Bob

Thank God for you and thank you. Loretta still has her cough. I've been told to hold my hand in ice water to reduce the swelling. Don't know which is worse--swelled hand or frostbitten hand.

Either/both may be preferable to the tachycardia, spleelessness, and jitters that can accompany an oral cortisteroid like Prednisone.
