Knee manipulation
Well, I am excited and scared at the same time! Next week, they are going to do a knee manipulation on me since I’m at 6 weeks and can’t bend my knee past 85 degrees. They will put me under general anesthesia and then force my knee to rip through all the scar tissue and bend. It’s sounds so painful which is probably why they knock you out! I will be so relieved because it’s been so painful and uncomfortable and I haven’t slept through the night in 6 weeks!
The good thing that has come out of this is that I have drawn closer to the Lord and He is working on my heart. I realized that not only am I prideful and judgmental, I am also very impatient! I already knew that but He re revealed it to me!
The other good thing is that my fibromyalgia has been totally under control. I am so glad because I was worried that with all the stress on my body and pain I’m in, it would have flared up but the Lord really protected me. I feel great and only a little fatigued although that’s because I am not sleeping well. I bought Tylenol PM so hopefully that will help me tonight.
I will have to go to physical therapy every day for a week right after the manipulation and then 3 times a week for another month or so just to make sure I keep the flexion. I really am looking forward to being completely healed so I can do so m any things I have missed out on. One of the biggest goals I have is to go back to Africa on a mission trip in 2012. It’s funny how that stirring to be a missionary always lies deep in my heart.
