My husband had a food warmer fall off of a catering truck and land inside of his hip bone causing nerve damage to his groin 5 years ago. As a result he is in constant pain and on tons of medication that could cause internal problems. there is the possibility that a nerve stimulator could alleviate much of this pain and the workers comp insurance is trying to deny his trying the stimulator because it is expensive. They are trying to say it is medically unnecessary and are using two doctors who have never met him to testify to this. He has lost his career, his self worth, his sexual well being, and has psychological problems because of this injury. He is now on social security disability because he would not be able to hold a full time job. He can't even sleep for a full night because the pain wakes him up, so he has to sleep at different times during the day and I believe the medication contributes to this as well. He cannot lift more than ten pounds without having excruciating pain in his groin. It hurts to sit, it hurts to stand, it hurts to walk, it hurts when he lays down. He has to use a cane just to keep his balance. The insurance is trying to chip away at his case until they feel it is financially in their favor to settle. This has all been very stressful to him and for our marriage as I have taken on the role of the provider, the financial coordinator for household expenses, and have handled most of the coordination of his medical care. It has worn on us both psychologically to the point that I have considered divorce.

Please pray for the hearing to go in (Retez's) favor and for the spinal cord stimulator trial to be granted. Please pray that the trial be successful. Please pray that the motion to discontinue psychological care be thrown out. Please pray for his lawyer to be wise and to want justice for him. Please pray for healing for him. Please pray that we be able to have children, even if it is through adoption, somehow. Please pray for stability and equal input for our marriage. Please pray for God's favor and the Lord's peace and protection surround us. Please pray that God's will be done. Thank you so much for your prayers and may God Bless you all.
