Not to inundate you with prayer requests, but if you could offer one for physical healing for me, I\u2019d appreciate it. I had an accident last Thursday night in the shower where I cracked my head against the ceramic soap dish that\u2019s attached to the wall. The pain was so intense that I felt weak kneed and woozy and there was a scary amount of blood everywhere. After two hours, I thought I was probably okay as the pain subsided to a more tolerable level and the bleeding was mostly stopped. Friday morning I felt fine enough to drive to Nashville and do the retreat. Since Sunday evening though, I\u2019ve been feeling weak and my head has been hurting where I hit it. I also realized that I was kinda mildly nauseated this weekend while at the retreat. I still ate, but felt kinda green around the gills afterward. I went to the local urgent care clinic this afternoon and they\u2019re setting me up an appointment at the local hospital for a CT scan to rule out a concussion. In the meantime, I have anti-nausea meds and pain meds.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
