Crazy Dog

  So far my week in Lancaster has NOT gone as planned, and it has to do with our our choc. Lab Snickers. I never dreamt she was capable of doing physical harm to me. Here's the story: on Mon. evening when Dutch was ready to put Snickers back in her dog shed, he whistled & she came running full speed toward him. Dutch & the dog have a playful thing between them where Dutch acts like he's going to get Snickers & she runs away from him. Well in one quick, playful second Snickers swerved away from Dutch & plowed right into me from the front & jams my knee back. I crumbled down in pain, feeling certain that if I would try to lift my leg it would flop, I thought for sure something "popped". I lay there for a bit catching my breath & then Dutch helped me to sit up. I sat there & looked at Dutch, then said "I'm gonna pass out". The next thing I remember is the cold water they splashed on my face to wake me from my stupor. They helped me get inside where it was nice & cool, & I laid down on the couch.
  I don't think there are any broken bones, BUT ever since Mon. nite- my knee area is very sore, I hobble around, my whole lower left leg is swollen... & doing the things I had planned to do here this week is no easy task. BUT praise the Lord it feels better everyday, I can put weight on the leg w/o pain & God is healing all the things that were stretched, pulled or maybe even torn. My chiropractor suggested that I have it checked out at the orthopedics, which I had scheduled an appt. with, but I cancelled the appt. for now, praying that God will heal it & I won't need to have it x-rayed & I won't need any type of surgery. Let's just say spending time or money in a Drs office is NOT what I like to do, (though I realize that is necessary at times). Dutch & I agreed to cancel the appt., so I feel good about the decision. And I'm asking everyone who reads this blog to PRAY for complete healing for my knee.
