Dear Blogging friends once again I need your Prayers, I had an accident on my new Mobility Scooter or as some call them, Motorized Wheelchair, it happened last Tuesday and I’m still recovering.
I was at a Pedestrian crossing and needed to reverse after pushing the button, I went up onto a small ridge which I hadn’t noticed and this caused my Scooter to suddenly topple over, it ended up on it’s side, the left side of my body hit the concrete hard too, I couldn’t move but was conscious, my head was pounding and I was having trouble focusing, a large lump on the side of my head appeared within a few minutes, it has now turned black and my eye too and all of the left side of my body is very painful, I’m also having headaches and my ear aches at times as well.
I remember praying just after the Scooter hit the concrete, I could hear voices and someone was asking me if I needed an Ambulance but the Police were not far away having just booked someone for speeding, they came and took control because by this time there was a large crowd and very soon I could hear the Ambulance coming.
The Pet Barn that I had just visited offered to keep the Scooter for me until it could be picked up and a woman near by also kindly offered to take my groceries home as some were perishable and keep them for me until I got out of Hospital, she said if it were her Mother she would like someone to do the same for her, you can be sure I was thanking God for His provision.
Another blessing was Mark the Man I brought the Scooter from, picked it up at the Pet Shop, checked to see there was any damage and than returned it to me, all without cost.
The Ambulance Paramedics were very caring and so were the Staff in the Emergency dept of the Hospital, I was attended to straight away by the Nurses and than by a Doctor who was a Christian, we talked about our faith in a Loving God and I felt secure and in good hands. They did a C.T Scan on my head Thankfully all was OK but I had to be monitored for 24 hours in case of concussion and a friend offered to do this, so I could go home, I can never sleep in Hospital it’s just too noisy, although I had to be woken every two hours anyway and was asked pointed questions.
I’m still experiencing Pain and tiredness, I also find it hard to focus at times and have been vomiting, this is why I need your Prayer Support so that whatever is causing these problems will be found and attended to. I’m being cared for by my Doctor and will if needed see an Optimist, these are all God’s tools but please pray also if needed that He will heal me Miraculously again, yes we give Thanks as we remember He is the only Healer regardless of how He heals us.
Just to let you know so you will be aware why I have also not responded to some of your Posts, to add to my problems over the last two weeks I have not been receiving all of your Posts or your replies to my comments, some of which have been going into Spasm, and also some of you I joined up with were deleted from the Blogs I follow, WordPress are attending to this, so hopefully it will be rectified soon.
But when possible I have responded to your Posts that I have received and will continue to do so and will also seek to comment on some of your previous Posts I missed, not just your current ones, Thank you to those who do the same. To be honest I miss your sharing and have often been very encouraged and uplifted by your Messages.
Thanking you in advance for your Prayer Support , Christian Love always – Anne.

Isaiah 43:1-3 – Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown! When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour.”
Jeremiah 29 :11-12 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a Future and a Hope.

Granny, sweetie pie, should you be driving a scooter?!! Only jesting 🙂 Just read your Christmas post so had to comment. God bless you 🙂

A Mobility Scooter or Electric Wheelchair as it is officially called, gives the disabled freedom that they don’t usually have but unfortunately some Scooters have faults that only become apparent when used, the Suspension is faulty in mine even though it is a new Scooter.

We sure have been in the wars Bj and on the front line but I remember what Paul the Apostle said below and than I’m thankful that regardless of what Life brings, we don’t walk alone.
2 Corinthians 11:24-31 Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep; In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own Countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the Churches. Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not? If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.
What did Paul hold onto in his trials, what kept him safe so he was not burned up by Satan’s Testing, Life and other peoples abuse, the same empowering that keeps us strong to the end.
Isaiah 43:1-3 – Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown! When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour.”

I am so sorry to hear about your accident. The vomiting is a bit concerning after a head trauma, but you said your doctor was caring for you, so that’s good. I will be praying for you.

I’m still having problems but I was told I could have been injured a lot more than I was, the Scooter being heavy meant the impact on the concrete was very hard but thankfully nothing was broken, except a side mirror.

It seems I’m experiencing Concussion symptoms, these can come up to a week after a hard knock to the head, sometimes even longer. It has only been in the last few days that my eye and the side of my face went black and I’m now having problems focusing, I have to stop writing when this happens and have a rest, so it’s taking me a long time to respond to Posts and Comments but I will keep going.
