in due to a knee injury. The pain was too bad for her to put any
weight on her leg at all.
The nurse practitioner manipulated her knee (very painful) until
suddenly she had no pain. Neither of us could believe it. We thought
we were headed to knee surgery for sure.
An xray showed much arthritis. A bone spur had developed. It had
caught a ligament or tendon. The nurse said Ruth would need surgery
someday, but for the present all is well.
Ruth and I were giddily happy. As we left urgent care, people must
have thought we had lost our minds. We were howling with laughter. I
was pushing an empty wheelchair. Ruth was carrying a set of crutches.
Saturday night Caleb went to urgent care with a fishing lure imbedded
in his leg. It was actually quite pretty. John took a picture of it
hanging from Caleb's leg. Not for the faint of heart.
