A little prayer

Dear God,

Please give me the patience to deal with my husband, who the doctor has put on crutches at least until his MRI tomorrow morning. You know as well as I do that Chad doesn't do well when asked to sit still.

Oh, and please heal Chad's knee quickly. (Can you maybe make the results tomorrow be a sprain instead of a tear? That would be super.)

While I'd love to have Chad at home more nights, I don't really want to know what it's like to have to go an entire season with him unable to play softball or football. He might make me take up arm-wrestling or something to get his competitive fix and, well, that just wouldn't be a good deal for any of us.

Amen.

Cooking, cleaning, and the like is also very hard when on crutches. There's more than one reason to wish him well. Godspeed young man. Hope it turns out OK.

Yet another thing that's difficult to do on crutches: Walk the dog! Here's hoping, for a whole host of reasons, that Chad's back to normal before long.

We have been praying. Would be bad if he can't do sports. Afraid he would be like his father. Not a good patient. As far as being on crutches, he will probably make a game for that too.
