Question
I suffer from a medical condition that causes me to be impure for several hours each day. I understand that I am not allowed to pray. I wanted to ask if I am allowed to make requests without mentioning God's name? Am I allowed to pray prayers from the siddur without God's name? Am I allowed to study halachot? Am I allowed to eat without a blessing?
