I could use some prayers from my fellow FR Prayer Warriors. A little over a year ago, I had dislocated my knee cap. The doctor said if it happened again, they would have to go in and anchor it down. Well, yesterday it completely blew out. Just as I was standing up, my knee just "went" and my knee cap ended up on the outside of my leg. It stayed like that for 3 hours. I had to go to the hospital in an ambulance and it took the ER doctor 3 attempts of trying to jam it back into place to get it back into the front of my leg. I am resigned to the fact that I will need surgery. But this time there looks to be a lot more damage then the first time. I will be going to an orthopedic surgeon next week and I would like prayers that I haven't done any major damage to any of my major ligaments. Also for easing of the pain (pain meds do not work on me at all) and swelling and pressure to subside quickly. Thank you!!! And God Bless!

Ouch! Prayers for you and your surgeons!
Prayers sent.
Prayers on the way for a quick and successful healing.
My son completely blew his knee out in a sports accident. Everything was torn and he required a complete rebuild. The pain was excruciating waiting for the surgery to be done and healing, but he was able to heal beautifully. It was much quicker than the doctors had initially anticipated, he was back to work much faster and he has had no significant problems since the work was done. He has a video of the entire surgery....amazing to see a tiny little screw fill up the entire tv screen! His knee is every bit as good as it had ever been, thank God. I hope your experience is as positive and you recover quickly. My good thoughts are with you.
