Prayer Request
Well folks I've reached the end of my rope. I'm tying a knot and trying to hang on but I need some help. You probably already know I've been having some knee issues. Went to see 2 docs and had knee surgery back during the summer. Knee was great for about 3 weeks. It's all been down the crapper since.
While I was going to see the doc in B-ham my finger and neck started bothering me. Doc said not to worry. So now my neck, back, hip, knee, ankle, elbow, wrists and a few fingers hurt. The last straw was this morning when Brad had to come pull me up because I couldn't stand myself up off the toilet.
I am looking for a different doc to go see since I wasn't all that please with the one in B-ham and it's a long trip there and back. Pray that I will soon be able to find a good local doc that can help me out.

ER
Not exactly how I planned to spend my night. Thursdays at my house are supposed to mean I watch others at a hospital on Grey's Anatomy, not visit one myself. It started about 5:45 with JoAnna vomiting (in the car on the way home - yea!). We were in the ER by 8:00 with hives everywhere. Poor baby even itched in her ears. Of course the ER doc didn't test to see what caused it, but he did make it better. Well, let me tell it like it really is. The doc looked at JoAnna and the nurse made it all happen. They are awesome and I say that not only because my BFF is one, but because it's the gospel. Docs sign their name but nurses bring the magic. So after a few hours of monitoring her and making sure the steroid and benadryl are working we finally get to head home. She was a trooper while we were there! We have an appointment to see Dr. Wood Monday morning.

Update since surgery
Knee surgery went well and I've not had the swelling or pain that Dr. Hester thought I may. That's great for me! But he did say that even though the pathology report says it looked to be one type of degenerative joint disease he's afraid it's the beginning stage of rheumatoid arthritis. He says only time will tell for sure what it is.

Dear R. Knee,
Dear R. Knee,
You have really been a pain in my butt. And my back. And my legs. So, I think tomorrow I will go have you fixed. And if by chance you decide you don't want to, or can't be fixed, then I will replace you. That is a promise and a threat. Doesn't matter to me which way you take it. You will be allowed to bother me for a little while longer, but after an ample recovery time you better be straightened out. I mean literally, I'd like to be able to straighten my leg. Thanks in advance, Monica.

BEACH
JoAnna experienced the white sandy beach for the first time this past weekend. She absolutely enjoyed every minute of sprinkling the sand on herself and letting the waves run up her legs. I enjoyed the day myself.

JoAnna's GranGran bought her a big pool so maybe she won't have to swim in the bucket any longer. She did seem to enjoy it though.
Looking forward to this weekend. We have a day trip planned for the beach. I'm all bubbly inside just thinking about it!
