PRAYER REQUEST

I received a prayer request from a friend of mine, Vernon Caruthers. Sharon is going through some very difficult times. Here is the request from Vernon's email.

Milton, I need you to pray for Sharon. She had an awful hard time trying to walk this past week. She thought it was her knee but it kept getting worse. Friday night she bent down to get something out of a bathroom cabinet and she heard her hip pop. The pain was intense and she could not stand to put weight on it at all. I took her to the ER and they did an x-ray which showed that her hip joint that she had totally replaced ---- the big long iron stem has broken into two pieces straight across and they are sitting on top of each other. She will have to have another total hip replacement. They have to order the hardware and it will probably be done on Tuesday here at McMinnville. She was in some terrible pain this morning with severe muscle spasms. They gave her a shot of Nebane and she had some bad reactions to it and she jerked her entire body so hard it took 2 of us to hold her on the bed. She is discouraged. This will make 5 big surgeries on that right hip. That hip replacement was done only 2 years ago. When it rains it pours. The only insurance she has is her Medicare. Oh Well. Here we go again. Have the church to please pray for us. Vernon
