Knee Surgery

As timing would have it, my knee surgery came along while our family was going through a bout with bronchitis and strep.  As a general rule over the years, we have stayed home from all activities if there is vomiting, pink eye, or fevers.  In order for those activities to resume, the feeling of being hit by a MAK truck and sleeping 20 out of 24 hours of the day needs to pass too.

For pretty much the entire month of July my family and I have not gone to church.  I knew I was a carrier of this "ick", so I stayed home on Sundays and Wednesdays.  I only had a head ache to go with this, so I didn't get the full blown bronchial problems or strep, by the grace of God!  But, if I brought something home, it would spread through the house making my family sick again with something else due to their compromised immune systems.  So we stayed home.

Today, my Mr. G and I stayed home because I just had surgery on my right knee on Tuesday, the 26th of July.  I am finding myself missing worship and feeling very empty and "spent".  With all of this comes feeling "weepy" for me.  I know many people wouldn't understand, so if you see me shedding a tear, that's why.  I miss worshiping with my church family.  Worshiping is the highlight of my week, and to sing the praises of the Lord God Almighty is how I get filled back up, even though I may weep all the way through my singing.

So pray for me, if you would, please.  That my knee will be well enough to attend Wednesday night choir practice so I can get filled up.  I know there are other ways to get filled up, but this is specific for me.

God Bless,
