Feel like praying today?
I need a few people to get on their knees for me, because my knee joints and every other joint and bone in my body is throbbing with pain and fatigue.
I’m sure there are a few culprits in the mix – Little sleep (not by choice), heavy lifting and moving of furniture, and the ongoing process of not being able to relax fully at any given moment in preparation for the next showing.
I’m not narcissistic enough to believe that I am the only one who has or is or will be going through such a process. There are others out there whose loads have been heavier, whose waits have been longer and whose weary hearts and minds and bodies have been greater.
My situation is not unique or new. It just is. And I’m tired. So very tired.
Enough of the whining. This is just a request for prayer from my faithful friends and readers whose knees might be in a little better shape than mine right now. And here’s a promise – when your knees can’t bend enough to hit the floor in prayer, I will return the favor and pray fervently for you.
What would I do without you? 🙂
Thank you, thank you, thank you, from the very bottom of my weary little heart…

I’ll pray. Having thought quite a bit about some of the things you’ve said about your joint problems, I wonder if there’s more going on than just degeneration of cartilage in the knees. Obviously there is, because you’ve mentioned your hips, too. You’ve also mentioned that your pain is bilateral which should be a huge red flag to your doctor; bilateral pain is usually systemic. Do you know what labs have been done? Did they order an anti-CCP, or only RF? What does your ESR tend to be (and how soon after drawing the blood do they run the test)? Where else is the pain? Bilateral hips & knees makes me wonder about one of the spondyloarthropathies. Have you ever been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis? Heel pain? Does anyone in your family have psoriasis? Note, I wouldn’t expect you to answer these ??s here, just things to think about that might lead to better dx/tx. email me if you wish. And I’ll pray.
You are being prayed for, dear lady. It is a formidable task you have ahead of you! I will be doing the same down in L.A. the first week of June. Our home there closes June 24. When does the one in Parker close?
My love, hugs and prayers,

We are still waiting on a non-contingent offer. Pooh. There have many interested parties but all have to sell a house first and we can’t take a contingent offer because of our relocation package. Thank you so much for your prayers! And I’ll return the favor for you in early June. That’s when we’ll be moving in to our Cali house.:-) xoxoxo
