Subject: [Faith-talk] Prayers for a Successful Knee Surgery Tomorrow

Hello everyone,

    As promised to some of you, I said I would send a prayer request out
once I had more details. For those who already know, I apologize. For those
who do not know, I have experience constant knee pain in my right knee since
the end of April. In fact, during the national convention, it was bothering
me some. It especially bothered me when I got up and sat down, and this past
week, it has bothered me standing and walking as well.

    Last October, our primary care physician referred me to an orthopedic
surgeon in our part of town. After preliminary X rays and an MRI scan, I
went back to receive an injection. By that time, it was Veterans Day, and
unfortunately, the injection lasted only a week. I went back at the end of
December. I had the chance to either go through a series of five injections
or to have my meniscus (the cartilage between the kneebone and the kneecap)
repaired.

    Needless to say, I will be having a kneescope, a type of arthroscopic
surgery, on my right knee tomorrow afternoon around one o'clock or
thereabouts at the Physicians Ambulatory Surgical Center, one of San
Antonio's many outpatient clinics, and also in our old neighborhood. I will
be off work the next three days, but because there is so much proofreading
at work, my supervisor and her bosses are allowing me to proofread from home
until I have my postoperative follow-up on the twenty-fourth. Is that unique
or what? It is definitely something I can talk about at a NAPUB meeting, but
that's for another list.

    In a nutshell, please keep me in your prayers during and after my
surgery, and I will keep you all posted. After I go back to working outside
of home, I will be receiving physical therapy. For now, a home health aide
will come to check the incision.

    In the meantime, thank you in advance for your prayers, and I will stay
in touch.
