Pray for my fiance eye test and driving.

Hi, I am going with my fiance to hospital tomorrow (Thursday 28th) his stroke doctor phoned him today and wants to do a w few tests to see if he is fit to drive. We both feel he wont pass it due to his eye condition. Rod has suffered with double vision in one eye for years, since childhood when he use to hold his hand over his eye and it caused double vision.

He has drove all his life and had no issues, as he lived with it, its in one eye. This is going to be an awful day for us, as we know they will say he cant drive any more we think. Everything is turning against us. We both have issues, I have bad foot issues. and he gets frustrated with his brain issues after the stroke. We seem to clash at times. I worry he will get dementia in the long term, I had a dream that he was like a mad man, which scared me, that I couldnt cope. I feel so depressed at times, I feel unhappy with the thought of my partner being really depressed if he cant drive anymore.

It seems that everything is so hard. I use to go in the car and just walk alittle, now I dont think this will happen.
Please pray that the doc treats him well, and treats anything medically that needs treating. I feel Rod hasnt had the proper care. I pray that Rod is truthful with his symptoms then everything will be in the open.

Everything is hard for myself also. I feel im only 48 but yet I feel its so hard life. This stroke has come between us in so many ways. I use to relay on him, now i Look after him. We are there for each other, But its hard. I have none to talk to also, we have no neighbours that ask how we are, its such a lonely life. I need cheering up.Thats why i come on here and pray for others it helps my spirit.

You said, "tests," but only mentioned the eye test. I gather you want him to be able to drive again, so want prayers that he can, right? If it helps any, I can see out of both eyes, but only one at a time. (It used to be called "wall-eyed," which is about the opposite of cross-eyed. I can't judge distances except by figuring out helpful clues, like the broken white-lines in the road are roughly the length of a car, as is the space between the lines. That helps me judge how far away that red light is in front of me.) Despite this, I can still drive, so I don't see where seeing double in one eye is such a hazard since he's been living with this since he was a kid.

BUT what kind of other tests is he getting? Anything along the lines of telling if his tiredness and headaches is the effective of his stroke or a warning sign?

And, okay, none of your neighbors know. None of my neighbors know either. And I kept it quiet to my family, until my brother asked me how John was doing. (I don't lie. I would have told anyone if they asked, but no one asked until then.) How about your family? It's a relief to babble on here of daily progress with John. It's a bigger relief that both of our family's know. Before that happened, I thought no one cared. Now I know better. John did get a present on his birthday. Someone sent him a Happy Birthday balloon. We're both excited. (No, really. We've had this running joke about balloons since the 80's, so we really like balloons. lol) We have no idea who sent it, but it was wonderful to see someone cared. Someone he knows cared. Try and find that person -- one for him and one for you.

And, for some of us, life is hard. I think I was roughly your age when I gave up thinking our lives would get easier later. Good time to give it up, because it hasn't gotten easier, and it won't, until we cast off this body. That probably doesn't sound too encouraging, except for two things:
1. I no longer have to spend great amounts of brain work to come up with a plan to make it easier.
2. I found a book that explained to me why this is good -- This is God working out his love on me. (Same thing he's doing for you.) So, get the book "When God Weeps." It tells why God is doing this to us. (If you can't get it, e-mail me and I'll get it for you.)

As for Rod's truthfulness? Will he let you go too?

i may be able to cheer you up, but you have to WANT to cheer up.
