| This picture is a little closer to how I have used my cane :) |
I remember four weeks before I came here in the MTC I had had my right hip replaced. This was the first of the replacements I am looking at, I also need to have to replace both my knees and my other hip replaced. The damage to my legs is something which was caused mostly because of the cancer treatment I have gone through. In starting here as a missionary I was not sure how my legs would do or how long I would be able to continue with the joints I have. I have learned even more while being here as a missionary that God blesses us while we serve Him. Not only have I seen tremendous improvement with the treatments with my lungs, and also with the GvH disease, but I have received tremendous strength in legs as well and I never really needed to use the cane I brought with me. (by tremendous I mean I can walk up and down stairs easily :)
However, in the recent weeks I have noticed a change with my joints. My right knee has become a little moody. Sometimes it will hold together, and other times it decides it will not stay together and it collapses on me. I am blessed at this time that it doesn’t really hurt but is just more annoying. All of this has led me to do a little thinking . . .
