Wed and Thursday this week I got some heavy dosage of the IVIG infusion at home. They sent the infusion nurse to my home since I can't get out and its so expensive in hospital to get done. Alone they say the infusion medicine is $40,000.00.

I was delayed a week getting since I went and told them do not send a nurse that's against hunting or she will have a miserable time here with all my trophy's surrounding the wagon.

They said ok and sent a male nurse and it could not have worked out any better. My nurse is a christian man like 63 yo so I'm only 2 years older and we had so much in common we talked the entire both days about God and a hole host of things . We both shared our struggles and prayed for one another. I just could not believe all this it was great.

Now if this infusion starts to work again hoping I can get healed up better to manage this that I have.

Since I was pretty much stuck in chair other than having to get up to pee the nurse tended to my dog put her in and out for me and gave her attention when I really couldn't.

It was a long deal a 6 hour deal each time and it really wore me out plus the benidril they gave me to cut down on side effects caused me to fall asleep at times.

Now I'll be getting this again 5-31-18 and 6-1-18 for another round of infusions then every 3 weeks.

I'm still unsteady on my feet and have to really be careful or I can go down again. Last Saturday I fell and cut my arm open and sprained left and right wrists over the broken right hand and then cracked a rib. Black and blue up and down look like I had gotten beaten with a bat.

I keep telling myself that God is control because the enemy is beating me up. I know this isn't all for me so that's another thing I have to be aware of that through this suffering others can come to the Lord and get patched up and fixed as well in their spiritual condition.

Sure don't like it that I cant hunt and fish or get out to Church or do the things I need to in garden to get that going but as long as I get some help along the way then will be ok. Then the issue not being able to work my job is brutal financially on me.

Don't know just how long this is going to take to overcome but however long it takes I'm along for the ride don't get to have a choice as I see it. LOL

Please keep prayers coming and try not to print any bible references because ax man is coming. LOL

A prayer thread turns into religion and it gets axed. Sign of the times and spiritual conditions.

I am trying to get my things together to sell them as I have energy to do so keep an eye out if there's anything you want.

Thanks for the update and more prayers for you. Do you have any can't miss arrow's that don't explode?

Prayers sent; keep up the positive attitude!

I don't know why when I saw "Cat" I thought this would be a Frisky thread! Glenn, I will be happy to send up a few prayers and I'm fairly certain that compared to the feeding of the 5,000 that a simple request for a nurse that's a member of Pope & Young and looks like Christie Brinkley's twin sister would be "small beans"! Hang in there!

Continued prayers from NY. bvd

Hey Glen, we haven't spoken in a while but I've continue to follow your walk throughout all of this. Please know that my prayers and best wishes for a speedy recovery go out to you buddy. Your faith and strength are an inspiration to all of us, your brothers.

Good for you keeping a positive attitude. Your continued faith will help you heal. Praying for you brother.

Thanks to all the brothers. Wow man the pain this afternoon was so sever its like enough already not sure if humidity has anything to do with it escalating or not? Man I can't even imagine what torture must be like for real in wars or critically wounded in battle or a bad accident. TG I haven't ever had to deal with that cause this seems like I got smashed in the feet with a sledge hammer. It wasn't this bad then I got the infusion past 2 days until today and it ramps to a 10 now as I type this.

PT girl came over at noon time today to access me and as we walked a little ways she's holding onto my shirt. I'm on unsteady ground and yelling at dog to get off the grass who's turned cow on me eating tail grass.PT says I saw enough and she gets dog back in for me. She called authopod Dr. now they will fit me for a boot. Left ankle is real weak and jacked up and wants to turn in on me and under.

It hurts more when I think about hoping to get in on end of turkey season. Yeah right. I want to try to shoot a low weight bow pretty bad just to see if I can. But each time I go in back yard I been falling. I did take my walked out on porch so I know if I go out there again its with walker. Believe you me I am trying my best to fight this in all that I can do. I went from never hearing about this GBS to hearing about a couple people I know of.

Next week I am going to work on 2nd opinion Dr. at the U of Penn downtown in Phila. they have a GBS dept. I think. Hopefully I can get my sister to take me who was a head nurse for a number of years and Retired. She knows what to find out from doctors. I'm hoping the pain med lowers the pain shortly. Sometimes it works and sometimes it don't.

Prayers to you sir !! Mamy God Bless you.

Prayers for you.

Glenn praying for you buddy.God Bless

Praying for you get well Cat !

You are in my thoughts and prayers. Competent medical help is everything!

Prayers from GA- get well soon Cat.

Hey Glenn, thanks for the update. I think pretty often about how you’re doing. I pray that things will improve for you as time goes on. You show incredible resilience and humility in the face of your trial. I admire your frankness and faith. I know I speak for more than myself in this regard, so please know that you have a tremendous amount of support from an outstanding group of people. I wish I could be as strong, and as unwavering in faith in the same situation. You don’t even blink! Stay strong! Tom

Cat Buddy you keep pushing forward...Your still in my prayers and will continue...Good Luck and Remember...A Lesser Man Couldn't Handle it...4finger

Keep on keepin' on Cat, you're a tough old bird!

Continued prayers brother!

Great to have a nurse strong in the Faith. Praying that the treatment is effective and long term.

Praying for you, Glenn. Hang in there.

Prayers sent for a quick recovery.

Prayers cat !! One day at a time sweet Jesus !

I don't know. I'm thinking I might have to give you mind over matter lessons. The other day, I accidentally rolled my right ankle before bed. I knew I was going to be limping around for a bit, so I put on an old ankle brace I had on hand. 30 hours later, I'm at 95 to 99%! I went for a 2 mile walk, fairly fast, with no problem. The moral of the story is a nasty guy like me gets hurt and quickly recovers, while a nice old fella like you suffers.

Prayers continue fr you, Cat. George

Prayer for you Glen.

Prayers from here.

Pain sucks!! Especially when i gets the best of you,,,so try not to let it my friend ; ) Maybe since your hold up on things its time to finally write them memo wores

Praying for you Cat. Your faith speaks volumes of the man you are. There is an incredible amount grace in your suffering, which most of us never realize. From your words, it looks like God has blessed you with this understanding.

So sorry to hear what you are going through. Pain and Satan can work to take our focus off our Heavenly father and Jesus. I'm praying for strength and comfort within you.

Your faith is a testimony and a source of encouragement for all of us Glenn, and we will continue to lift you up and support you. You are a tough ol bird.............

Prayers sent Cat! Be strong brother!

Prayers brother.

Will be praying for you brother my wife gets IVIG every 3rd week 5 days a week to the tune of 22 k per trip with nurse and medicine thank God for medi share (Christian medical sharing)and medi care her condition is chronic immune deficiency from a infection within the body her condition was a death sentence in the 60's my personal belief is they can cure lots of the diseases but there's way more money in treatment prayers for your complete healing, Ralph

Ralph thank you for sharing I am so with you. This has broken me and its a real challenge on my spirituality but it keeps me in check knowing that soon God will step in one way or the other. The grace to bare up under this has so challenged me but there's no other way I can survive without the grace of God holding me up. I fell the same way about being able to heal me that I am a cash cow for them. When I look back just how many health issues I have had they bad a lot of money off keeping me sick. I know this is a terrible thing to think but is true or fake news keeping people sick that runs the medical industry?

Past 2 days the pain in feet and hands has been so sever and it seemed nothing worked. At 2:30 in am last night I said I had enough this is foolish and took 500 mg of the Gabipentin again and in couple hours it allowed the pain to be passed. No pain end of night and today yet I don't have it. I felt like I was drugged this morning though so need to call Dr. to see if there's any interaction with the meds possibly. Gabipentin didn't do this before to me when was on it.

Between prayer and perseverance not much more I can do but go along with the ride from hell. Lol

Lord help us all we all have issues to work out in one way or the other a lot of us have challenges or have family members who do. Please ease our pain and sorrow and lift us all up for each other so that we can survive whats going on around us.

Give us courage not to complain but to except the conditions and work through them. Help us all to draw nearer to you and to be able to work for the kingdom best we can knowing that this isn't our home. Help us to remember those good days no matter how bad the current day might be that there is a silver lining that awaits us one day in heaven with you Lord.

On the days we complain like this sux no birds are goggling they are all hened up. LOL Instead help us to draw near to you and enjoy the experience. Help us to realize that you are in control that aren't and when we think we are help to realize that we are not.

If we complain and get angry help us to realize that nothing happens without you Lord no matter how hard we think negative help us to be positive so we help others through their struggles.

For those who are healthy praise God that you haven't had health issues yet and try to stay on the narrow trail. The enemy is showing us things that look so good on the wide trail that many are traveling. Help us to stay focused on whats in our bush and not get caught up in the fast lane because there is going to be some thing that can drive over us in the wrong lane.

Have a good day and be peaceful in the hostel world we travel through.

Shoot them up whether it be arrows or birds and enjoy it while you have it because it can be gone as fast as it came.

Cat,

Keep trusting in God. We will keep praying for you.

David

Hang in there Glen.

Cat, your a strong man mentally, keep keeping the faith. Here's to you an your recovery. Take care Pr

Prayers sent.

Hang in there!

Yeah real strong its forcing me to be humble and this sure is the thorn in my side just like Paul I suppose we all need to get them a time or two and whether they every clear out or they stay its Gods grace he gives us to bare up under.

Some count it strange but yes God speeks to me big time always and tonight I truly believe and profess he has spoken to me unlike days past about this condition I have come down with GBS.

I got his memo loud and clear.It was said to me that I'm not so sure I will heal you. Son did I not blind Paul and nock him off his horse! I did not blind you and take your eyes I allowed you to be wounded though. I gave Paul the gentiles and I give you the down trodden Glenn your thorn now is the health condition you have to walk with and bare up under so others can see me through you! Wow Lord what a revaluation.

I gave you a task and allowed you to hunt with a young man and he help you and you were to minister to him while he helped you but you went Glenn on me again and you got caught up in it. And where was I in it all did you call on my name for his sake and help him spiritually when you had his attention while you fished and hunted as well as had his girlfriend in your presence.

At this point now I'm just listening as the tears are poring down my checkers and looking for the fig leaf because I"m naked in front of God now.

Its been revelation tonight one after the other as things were being revealed to me and visions of possibilitys.

I don't know who else gets revelations but I sure do all the time and some come true and some don't though.

The lesson in this tonight is less pain physically as well as emotionally as I call on his name he talks to me. Not like you and I but he puts it inside of me so I know who he is and what he has control over that I don't at all.

You want to hunt Glenn, yes Lord then will you lay it down for me and get rid of all your trophy's for me your Lord?

Glenn's got big challenges before him physically as well as mentally as well as spiritually.

Does anyone have to get wounded like me? No so then help your neighbor and your friends and those outside of him. Help them and lay yourself down for them and exalt your friend and put them first.

Those who will be first will be last. I sure hope this don't get axed because its testimony of a wounded man because of not doing what the Lord told him to and allowed me to do to save another through my experience. As I walked the face of this earth I was to show him the light and help him see. He was next to me side by side as we walked and talked yet I never brought his name up to him. I left the truck and set out for the monster bird I got him and I still didn't say to my friend its because of the Lord we got him that it was in his name and we boasted look what we done.

My friend saw me fall we blew the chance at another bird. He picked me up but I didn't give him help with his soul.

Moral of this my friends is to help your friends and tell them about your Lord who he is and what he means to you and why you do what you do that you praise his name.

It will go well with your soul today if we praise his name. The prayers and thoughts from others mean it all. The devil was allowed to wound me but he can't kill me because I serve the mighty Lord who has saved me and you for a purpus.

I have learned lately just how much these trophy's don't mean to me and it had to be taken from me so it don't define me any longer.

My value is in heaven and while I am here on this earth I am supposed to bring the good news to those who will listen and if one person here gets to see the Cat come to his knees from this thorn in my side its all worth it for me to have to give things up for you to see the grace I get given as I struggle like everyone else in one way or the other.

Thank you for all the wonderful brothers and sisters on this site I have meet or been introduced to in one form or the other.

Hang in there Glen, prayers for you from Central TX!

Less pain past couple days but that's because I started taking Gabapenton again but its swelling me up. They came over the authopod specl. to fit me for a ankle brace that's carbon and real light. Now I have to go get another pair of shoes because of not having any it will work with. Another burden but if it can help me from falling have to bare up. This is going into 2nd week of that I had the IVIG the other peoples antibodys so hoping this week coming will see the improvement. Little more strength this week as well coming back and I now have been able to walk little further.

I should not have done this but as we were walking the PT girl and I Friday I faked a slight like trip and that was stupid of me it freaked her out she grabbed my shirt. She slapped my arm don't do that Glenn are you nuts. I just laughed you just left my house what do you think? Well yeah Glenn we do. LOL OK we go around the bend and she says no lets go back to uneven don't do it. I said have to dog went around bend. OK stay here I'll go get dog I said no lets go as we went a little further didn't I trip and start to go down and it was a good thing she stood a little up from my side and I ended up chest to chest with her as she help me up. Now shes just a little girl hold a pile of me up.LOL

She said see and she was spooked out and so was I. I said I wasn't trying to get fresh with you either. I know that Glenn I tried to tell you. LOL

OMG there by the grace of God go I . They think I take to many chances. They want to put me in a straight jacket.LOL

I said just get me a rubber suit.LOL

This week was little better though and in 2 weeks I'll get another round of IVIG the infusion again.

So many things to work out. Some how I need to be able to get back to working but guess for time being I just work on trying to get rid of stuff.

Waiting for my SS to go through and get that money then my meda care ins. has to get changed I'm down but not counted out. Gods grace.

The alarming thing is that I might not get healed from this so I have to learn to work with this disablement mentally and physically. My hunting and fishing days may be at the end of things but other things will come that God wants me to do so life carry's on by the grace of God.

Thank you for so many praying for me I don't know how I could survive without prayer.

Thanks brothers may God bless you all.

Craig funny you say this I knew when I first started out and I teach this as well its not going to be easy and the fact that when Satin loses you and you turn from him to Christ it gets hard when your close to God. Not one time has my life been golden brick road since 1985 I got washed in the Lord full immersion for the remission of my sins just like in Acts 3:38 when Peter preached at Pentecost.

Its been on ship wreak one after another and that whats allowed me to be stronger each time in the Lord and gain the knowledge I have been blessed with through my conversion. I was involved with the homeless in Phila. for a little while then graduated to prison ministry in Montgomery Co. always was wanting to get into a State prison to get to the more harden ones.I did this for several years gave the Friday night bible study's at Norristown its a county prison for the Church of Christ. I loved that volunteer work it was very humbling and very sad at the same time the things I herd and saw. Since I 1rst got hurt in 2011 and had to give up the Prison ministry then I haven't been able to get back to it yet and might never unless God opens that door again. I then had a bad car wreak got t Boned and had a concussion that totaled my Tahoe then got a hip replaced then another hip replaced then a heart valve and now GBS. Shes been a ride but Gods been very faithful and pulled me through each recovery process.

I can say I been through the ringer but alive to tell about it and teach and preach more days about my trials and tribulations. When I reflect back I can say I would not want God to do anything differently with me.

When this first happened I was extremely angry not at God it just flushed out more anger I had inside of me from years of abuse both what I had growing up and what I caused myself. As strange as this might seem to others I see this was good.

When God spook to me couple nights ago and told me he might not heal me. He didn't say he wasn't but I knew that at that time he's teaching me how to live with this and not be angry so that it don't hinder what else he has for me to do and use this through me to talk to others about it as a teaching tool. Almost every circumstance I have found myself in over the years I have been able to turn them into a sermon to help others even the hunting and fishing situations as well. Its been wild how the spirit has given me the format to do this to teach others.

All my life has been one thing or the other. I have had several business's and even 2 wives and have had a lot and done a lot and been blessed to have gotten to see a lot of places. God has used every situation to get through to others that needed me to talk to them about God. God has also used the circumstances to convert me to who I am today.

I can truly say I have lived the street with the prostitutes and tax collectors this has been my life in the fast lane when I was brought up until now. Now God has me slowed down and cut back so I can get prepared for the next missionary in life. Its exciting but very tiring as well lately trying to manage it all. I just came in from a walk with dog. Going slow but walking with a foot drop and a taped up ankle that's sprained but enjoying just a little walk around here on uneven ground having to be very careful to say the least.LOL

The spirit held me up and gave me grace to exercise a little bit. Steady as she goes trying to do my best.

Right now the mission in front of me is my 1rst wife and daughter and her baby. I need to teach to those who surround me first and they need to see the grace that God has been giving me to manage this in his name and hopefully overcome. When they see me not getting angry and cursing God then maybe they get converted and God hopefully restores health. I have to believe as though I have already received or my faith would be shallow as I see it. Many are watching me handle this.

Before I can go back to the prison or in a larger mission I have to get stronger in every aspect of my life. The other night last night Friday night I was on fire and felt I could have stood probably 1 hour or maybe 2 hours and preached in in this condition in prison I felt that strong. Now Saturday morning I was plum beat down again. I had a shot of Adrenalin.

I've wanted to be a Chaplin but its to much schooling at this time in life and I feel I missed that calling so I street preach and go to places others would not dare step foot in.

I have another idea a Seaman's outreach ministry a counselor Captain brother has it going in Phila. but he's in his 80's now and also sickly and struggling to keep it all going. I would like to come into that but still need to maintain my business to work that I can't right now. I have a lot on my plate and in my mind and being worn out trying to heal is first and foremost.

We serve a mighty God and we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. If this is to be it will be. If God blesses me to be able to take this over possibly and I am blessed to get healthy again then hunting and fishing would be probably be history anyways and the end of the era.

I don't know though because that's an open channel to sail through so who knows. There's a lot going on in my life and certainly in my head. But then there always is. LOL

Thanks for listening its a lot to read. I write books. The books of life.LOL

I got to admit a never read a post over about 500 words.Get Well Soon.

The reason my Friends started calling me Cat was because of my Mt. Lion and at that time I was a Capt. so they nick named me capt. Cat and it stuck. Then when they saw things happening they kept saying Oh another life gone how many you on now like a Cat is supposed to have 9 lives? Not sure could be fake news or Wives Tail? LOL

A lot of good things going on just tuff combating it all. Lord help us all everyone of us help us to get strong and stay strong and healthy. Getting old is for the birds.LOL So they get long beards and big spurs. LOL

Ya see where my head is at.LOL

Mt Lion mount or actual live one?

Thanks for showing us how to thank our Lord, Glenn. You have a God Given talent on how to reach out to all of us, teaching us to appreciate Gods grace in our lives. Wishing you well and praying for your comfort in body and spirit. Thank you, Sir for showing me the way. Newt

I drove a little today about 40 miles I guess it was. It was ok did some errands. Still have the numbness in feet the pins and needles calmed a little and the hands still crippled and hard to use . This comes and goes see what happens tomorrow or was it the Gabipenton that held pain at bay today.

Thank you Lord for today it was up my legs this morning but by moving and not sitting around it loosed up a little.

I really want to get in garden tomorrow see how I feel. Maybe try to cut grass even? Not sure if I can pill back light bow yet that's on agenda this week maybe. Thinking I can try to drive a little further and maybe take a claim to work on or go try to fish? Ya think I am getting carried away. LOL

I'm fighting this for sure! Problem is this don't fight fair on me it sneaks up on me when I sleep this rascal the devil sent me!

Prayers sent from Ky.

Little better today but walking still hard and I really have to watch out not to fall and lose balance. Please continue to pray brothers for strength and balance and no falls. I get next infusion Thursday the IVIG again Thurs and Friday. The state just granted me Medicaid so I hope that will help me financially any ways. It's been very hard not being able to work since last week in January.

I had tried a couple times to do claims and it set me backwards. Dr's have deemed me disabled that i don't like one bit and am fighting to get over this but its my thorn in the side.

Please keep praying for me can really use it.

Prayers continuing Glenn...

Glenn,15 years ago, I beat lymphoma with homeopathic treatment. Doctors hate stuff like that. If nothing else it could possibly make you stronger. Here is one example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5rhDrKgtxc

Hang in there Glenn. Your story is inspiring. You’ll continue to be in our prayers here in Illinois.

Sounds like you're making some improvement. One step at a time and before you know it you'll be pulling on a bow again. Have faith as I know you do. Any progress is better than the smallest setback. I'll keep praying for you Cat.

I pray daily for, Cat. George

damn, sorry to hear all this. I can't fathom what you must be going through. All I can say is never stop fighting. Hoping you get well soon. - eric

Wowwee the pain has been so sever past few days half out of my mind with pain and the swelling in legs has been tremendous. I got to get away from this poison Gabapenton 600 mg 3 times a day is killing me. Going to ask for Lyrica to see it that might work for me and this nerve pain. CIPD I been reading isn't curable and the mylean grows back but its thing and its not like what we have and it short circuits. Oh boy more challenges coming so I need prayers to be able to bare up under it and be able to take the pain that comes on like a ton of bricks dropped on my head at times that comes and goes. I keep fighting I sure do but as hard as I fight this CIPD fights back on me.
