Now what, Lord??

This past Wednesday, Rick had a follow-up appointment with a doctor on post about his knee. The doctor highly reccommends surgery for repairing his miniscus. But, it's Rick's choice. If he doesn't have the surgery, he will continue to have pain and problems in his knee. If he choses to have the surgery, it will open him up wide for another Med Board. It doesn't neccessarily mean that they WOULD try to MEB him out again... it just means that anyone in the orthopedic department that reviews his files COULD decide to begin the MEB process again based on the fact that this is his second surgery on one body part.

Rick says he can live with the pain and he doesn't care- he's not opening himself up for a possible MEB again. I'm hoping that with time, he'll prayerfully consider what this means. I don't like the idea of sending my soldier into Iraq, not only without adequate training, but also with a bum knee. Of course, I also feel that it's in God's will for us to remain in the Army. The mission field here is in need of more workers. I know that this is in God's hands. I just pray that Rick will also seek God's throne before solidifying his decision. Please keep us in your prayers. We need clarity on what to do.
