Need Prayers I'm having trouble walking.

[rick4bama]

In July 1976 I torn my Meiscal cartilage. Had the surgery and I have a staple that has held it to my knee every since. About a month ago I started having trouble with my hamstring. Now it has gotten so bad, I can't walk without help. I went to the ER in Anniston, Al, just before Thanksgiving. The next week I had an appointment with my doctor from the VA. Orthopedic-doctor I will be seeing the appointment is the 24th of Dec. I need pray not just for me ,but for my wife she has taken care of me. It's not that easy , she work 7 days and off 7 days. She works at a nursing home, she works the 3th so when she working she got me a babysitter. Don't laugh the baby sitter help me a lot. She my 16 year old granddaughter. By the way it costs me one of my Bama elephants. Thanks for all the paryers.

Home now, but still have a lot of pain in the knee. What I would call good pain, if that can be any good pain. Right now I'm going to PT 3 times week, and today was the first. That is what I'm calling good pain. I want to Thank all for the prayers. One more thing and it will be the only time I will say something about a former player for this team.

**UPDATE**
Well I have started to get around some going to the outpatient physical therapy. I guess I did too much Friday the ladies that do the therapy told me that they feel liquid on my knee and that got me a little shake up. Well the ladies told me to stay off my feet till Monday when I go back to my next appointment. So I'm still asking for that prayer I ask for. The men from my church has builded me a ramp so it's not hard to get to the car.

Stick with it Ricky. You'll be back in playing shape in no time.
