Darn Knee -Prayer Request

Oh my! Yesterday evening my left knee dislocated!
OWE!

Then when I was sleeping my right calf muscle cramped up for the first time in years!
I blame it entirely on the fact that I didn't drink enough water that day.

As for my knee though, it seems to be a 7 year pattern. I first dislocated it when I had just turned 15, then again when I was 21, and now I'm 28, almost 29 (April 23rd, I better have some Birthday Wishes in my comments "squawks"!). It also always seems to happen in the month of April too.

Now my whole body is feeling clickety-poppity and icky-achy! It hurts to move! It hurts to sit, it hurts to lay. I was hoping my Endocrinologist would call me today so I could talk to her about it and find out if I can seek some pain management. And if I should make an Orthopedic appointment myself with my guy or if I she wanted to refer me to a new one. I'm going to need some support for my knees that actually fit my swollen legs. Which will probably have to be special ordered. Then again, a lot people here have some pretty thick legs, so maybe not. We shall see. I might need some ankle support too, they're feeling weak. A back binder or back support would benefit me too. I already feel like the tin man from Wizard of Oz half the time, so what's the difference being all braced up at this point? Depressing, I know.

I guess I'm going to have to call my Endocrinologist tomorrow. I need to find out what's going on. Has she got the rest of my results back? She thought she would have them on Tuesday and told me she would call me then. She was also going to call me with the referrals to the Neurosurgeon and the Ophthalmologist. I need to ask her about the exact numbers that my labs came back with and about my recent problems, pain management, what to do about my GI Specialist's stuff, and Orthopedic stuff. That's a lot to discuss.

So with my muscle, back, knee, and vision problems, it will be interesting to see how well I can force myself to get around to these Dr. appointment. Especially since I will probably be going to most -if not all of them- alone, and a majority of them will probably be about 4.5 hours away (in Los Angeles, CA).

I've got to get it together!

Please pray with/for me!

Thank you.
