Pretty soon I was having a hard time with lifting heavy objects, getting out of cars, and walking long distances. Then things got worse- while driving, my leg locked in a painful fashion, and I was unable to walk without a cane for a bit. At this point, the mission doctor agreed I needed proper help.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Check it out<\/strong><br \/>\nSo, down I went to Australia for a planned three and a half week trip- this to give me time to recover from a likely orthoscopic knee surgery. After multiple doctors\u2019 visits, MRI\u2019s, and other medical test, it was determined my knee didn\u2019t need surgery. Praise the Lord. However\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>No quick fix<\/strong><br \/>\nIt seems that the main source of pain is osteoarthritis of the kneecap- basically there\u2019s not a lot they can do other than physical therapy. So, I\u2019ve got to rebuild the lost muscle from the weeks of limping around. Happily, things are pretty slow in the Shipping department.<br \/>\n<strong>Things to pray for<\/strong><br \/>\n-PNG is in the middle of a pretty bad drought at the moment. Since most people there live off basic gardens, it\u2019s starting to affect them badly.<br \/>\n-Our flight program is switching to the larger, faster Kodiak. Please pray for all the layers of paperwork and ect needed for certification.<br \/>\n-And as you can guess, I could use quite a bit of help with my recent travel and medical expenses. My insurance doesn\u2019t cover travel and accommodations, and the deductible is pretty high.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks once again for your prayers and support,<\/p>\n<p>Joe<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greetings Everyone&#8211; or should I say \u201cg\u2019day\u201d?- from Cairns Australia.
