My mother was diagnosed with lipidemia about a year ago which had really slowed her down. she has to pump her legs every day now to get the liquid out, but she recently hurt her knee. It's gotten so bad to the point that she can't even stand up without crying. Since she can't walk we can't get her to a doctor or rather a hospital. Please Please pray that her knee gets better. It makes me so sad to see her hurting so much. She's even said that it hurts so bad she wish she would die!! (she doesn't have much a tolerance for pain) I have to help her do everything now and she can't even go to the bathroom ( I do it cause I love her). I am starting to cry just writing this. We really need prayer I want my mother to feel better. Please pray for bother her hurt knee and her lipidemia.
thank you
update
My mother went to the hospital and now has pain meds (her happy pills). They say it might take up to 6 weeks to heal! Also they found she has arthritis in her knee.
This is a prayer request for my sister

Oh, that sounds really painful. I am praying for her right now, and for you to have the strength to continue to protect her.
I don't know what lipidemia is, but my mother has restless leg syndrome (not the same thing, I know), but also years ago she had gallstones so bad that she had to have surgery to remove her gallbladder. So I know what it's like to worry over your mother while she's in pain and can barely do anything for herself, even to the point of crying over her pain. cry I remember those days. I was so worried over her I would cry in bed instead of sleeping, praying to God really hard that He would ease her pain and that we could find the cause. (We did, and He did, and I'm still very grateful for it.)
So I will pray as hard as I can for Him to ease her pain and to open a door to get her the medical help she needs. I know that it feels like being caged when you can't afford to see a doctor, but your health is so bad that you can't afford not to. It is very important that she receive medical attention, so I will pray that He will direct someone at a local church, or a neighbor, or a family member to help you guys through this in some way.
If you still can't get to a doctor on your own, you may need to call an ambulance. I currently have stress fractures in my feet, and I can tell you that leg and foot pain are NOT a joke, and medical attention is very necessary in this case, because these things can eventually become crippling in the future if not tended to.
God bless you and your mother and your family. heart
