I could use some prayer today. My right knee started bothering me worse than usual yesterday. Now today it’s swollen to 2-3 times it’s normal size. It’s very painful and I’m using crutches to get around. I’m going to ice it and lay back down and then we’ll probably need to call the ortho doc later. 😦
Things are not going well with thirteen year old son, he continues his antics which came to a complete stop as he turned on the charm for the officers. I believe they saw through him, though, which is rare. Prayer for wisdom and safety. Thanks.
I was in a lot of pain, and I can’t put any weight on it, so I called the ortho. They can’t see me until Monday. Cheryl convinced me to call my family doc and see if I could get in with them. They gave me an appointment tonight so Cheryl and Elizabeth took me. The doc checked it out, prescribed some pain killers, and will be calling the ortho in the morning to see if they can’t get me in sooner. She said sometimes when another doctor requests it, they’ll squeeze you in. I hope so. The pain killers seem to be working, as long as I don’t move, 🙂
Standing hurts like crazy, as does walking, and now my left knee hurts from carrying the extra weight. And the crutches are killin’ my bad shoulder. Next is usually the hip and back pain from being all off kilter in the knees. And I’m tired.
But at the same time I’m blessed to have a wife and daughter who take care of me when I need it. My Liz was a huge help today. And I have friends who pray for me, so it’s not all bad. 🙂
Now if we can just get the ortho to get with the program, I’ll be set. 😉

Things are still going well with BG, but that doesn’t mean we no longer need your prayers.
Thanks

We are considering putting him into an institution so he can receive the mental health care he appears to need.

We had to do that with a relative, mumsee. It is difficult, but he later said it saved his life. He was furious at the time.

Oh Mumsee. I know that you didn’t come to that conclusion easily. My prayers are with you. Whatever you decide know that you gave it every chance.
