"PRAYER REQUEST FOR MYSELF"


Dear John & Doves,
 
Would you please pray for the recovery of the muscles, ligaments and tendons in my right leg -- more specifically the tendons behind my right knee and the muscles and ligaments between the right knee and ankle. This morning my right leg is stiff and my right hip is bothering me as well. I am having difficulty in walking on my right leg, and am limping slowly around.  It is also bothering my right sacrioliac joint this morning, and I injured the muscles and ligaments around that joint two times in the past and it took years for me to recovery from those episodes.  Please pray that I don't end up with shooting pains in that area.  Please also pray for the recovery of my tendons, ligaments and muscles in my right arm on opposite side of where it bends at the elbow and that I will get the full strength back in it.
 
Part of my problem was brought about by my standing on my feet for 2 hours and 20 minutes shovelling snow on our steep driveway on 3/17 which caused the problem described above with my right arm, and my right ankle also became swollen at that time.  I compounded the problem about 3 days later by limping around Walmart, and standing for a long time in a checkout lane.  I should have gone to the car when my right leg started to feel extremely tired and ached and left my husband standing in the line with the shopping cart, but I didn't. After that the other problems developed although the swelling in my right ankle has gone down. I guess I am going to have to sit down when they sing during the church service, and when they stand for the reading of the Bible, and when they shake hands because this makes the second Monday that my leg has gone stiff from standing in church. My right leg was starting to feel better and loosen up on Thurs., Fri. and Sat. of this past week after staying off of it as much as possible and not walking around in any stores nor taking the laundry downstairs and lying down in the afternoon for a couple of hours although it was aching Sunday morning when I got up, and my sciatic nerve was bothering me Sunday night between the knee and hip, but now it's back to square 1 this morning with the stiff leg and my right hip and right sacrioliac joint starting to bother me this morning.
 
Thanks in advance for your prayers!
 
God bless you,
Donna
