That discussion we had, about what our bodies will be like after the Final Resurrection- I’ll be able to genuflect again! I’m stuck with bowing and leaning on the seat in front of me.... Cartilage: the Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away!

Isn’t that funny? The last time i tried, i nearly tipped over, and couldn’t get halfway down. Then a little sweet elderly lady comes in and gets down on both knees like she’s 20! God bless her, lol!

I’m sorry, but I do not know what you are talking about. Please explain.

I never got the memo about just one knee for the Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, so I still do both knees.

Really, is that what injured your knees. So sorry to hear that.

I have had knee surgery on both knees, but — thank God! — I can still genuflect. Not fast, and I need to grab something to get up, but I can still do it.

I choose not to, though, if I am wearing a skirt that is just below the knee as opposed to longer, since I am not quick with the standing up.

What do you mean? Maybe it’s me but I don’t get what you’re saying.

Arthritis. Yeah, that's the worst part- getting up! Sometimes it just doesn't happen, lol!
My garage door was acting up this winter, so I pulled the car out, went into the house, shut the garage door- and fell in the snow. I had my keys; my coat, purse and cane were in the car. The snow had been up to my knees, and there I was in jeans, a tee shirt and loafers. I rolled over but couldn't get my knees to work! I prayed to my Guardian angel, and I swear something pulled me up by the waist! My hands and feet hurt like crazy, but thank God, I made it out of the snow pile! ⛄
God bless you!

**I have had knee surgery on both knees, but — thank God! — I can still genuflect.**

That's terrific! Most people I know who have had the surgery can't kneel. That has to be such a relief! I'm really glad it worked out for you! ☺

I have not had knee replacement, fortunately. That procedure seems to limit a lot of motion for the knees, from what I can see.

The Lord has really smiled on me in this area, as I have had almost no knee pain ever since my procedure, which is referred to as a “lateral release”.

I have some arthritis, but, so far, so good.

Oh, you poor dear, rolling around in the snow. Good old Guardian Angel was there for you, though. I think mine has helped me out a few times.

Salvation, I am so sorry for hi-jacking your lovely thread.
