A few years ago I found out I had a joint mouse.\u00a0 That might sound made-up, but it’s what they call a little piece of broken stuff that’s floating around in one of the body’s joints…in my case, my knee.\u00a0 On March 2nd I went to\u00a0Samachique, a small village in the mountains of northern Mexico.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The small object in the right part of my knee is a joint mouse, which the surgeon removed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The hospital mainly serves the Tarahumara people, but I was lucky enough to be taken as a patient.\u00a0 The doctor there has done surgeries on famous people and really knows his stuff.<\/p>\n

The doctors successfully removed the “mouse” and sewed me back up.\u00a0 I wanted to take some pictures of the room I shared with about 7 tribal ladies, their babies, and in a few cases their husbands, but the Tarahumara aren’t big fans of having their pictures taken, so I controlled myself.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Right after surgery, I thought my knee resembled a manatee.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I spent a few days with a missionary family in the area so that I could recover and then flew back to Chihuahua.\u00a0 A few days later I flew back to my team in Durango.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
In the plane on my way out of the village, with my new friend Erika.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My knee continues to ache some and be stiff from swelling.\u00a0 Thanks for your continued prayers as I get to work back in the tribe.\u00a0 Pray that I would be wise and not do too much right away.\u00a0 Thanks for praising God with me for this opportunity to get things patched up and that I didn’t have to leave Mexico!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Once the swelling goes down, I'll be back to stinking at jogging as much as I ever have.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
