I know that I'm relatively new to this forum having only posted for a little over a month. If anyone knows me, they know that I'm not one to share personal info with anyone(unless I knew ya) especially online. However,I've known the kindness and people coming together on this board for prayers for those in need. This is regarding my stepfather. One of the strongest willed men I know and someone even as I'm 39, is still one of the biggest role models in my life. I try to aspire to be more like him everyday. I won't go into a lot of personal details. I will say this.. He's been waiting for almost 4 years now to have both hips and knees replaced. He has other things going on,but these have set him back in a major way.
This is a man who would do anything for anyone he met ,and was always the most outgoing person I've met. Now,due to not being able to have any surgery go forward due to scaring and they won't operate unless it's completely healed, it's been a waiting game.... He now uses a walker, can't get out like he used to,and is really depressed to not do what he used to enjoy. It breaks my heart every single time I see him. I try to be there as much as I can cause he would do the same thing for me. It's been hard on my mother and the rest of my family. We have an appointment tommorow and hope to hear something positive. Most of the time,it's more of the same. I've asked for prayer at church,pray every single night. I would have never had made this thread had I felt it wasn't urgent. He's got other things going on,but this has really been hard on us all as a family. He's a huge Tennessee sports fan. Even though I'm more of a Carolina fan,he's the biggest reason I post on here outside of the fact it's so down to earth. If I happen to put this in the wrong place,please move it. We could use the prayers
If you don't pray, well wishes and thoughts also mean the world.
