Worn Out

I've had four operations across both of my knees. One of the two operations on my left knee left me with some very limited mobility there. I can not fully bend it nor can I fully straighten it, meaning I walk with some what of a limp. And, depending on the weather, that limp can be worse some days than others.

There was a time when I could walk great distances, even after the operations, but, no longer. My old job demanded that I would walk literally miles a day. It too was a plating job where I had to walk the work over to many tanks in the plating process.

Now, however, the effects of those operations are taking their toll. My left knee is deteriorating and needs to be replaced. As a result of my limp my back is always out of place. It is becoming harder and harder to even sit in a chair for any longer than ten minutes.

I am now concerned about all of this. I'm beginning to worry that I will no longer be able to do my job in the not too distant future. There are some days where walking is just down right unpleasant.

Lord, I put this situation into your hands.
