Pia Jesu Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Creaking, cracking, barely-able-to-stand-up knees (upon genuflecting or kneeling) might benefit from... --Replacement surgery?

SilentJoy Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 You could bow instead. :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Warmth? Like a heating pad or something like that? Some massage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miserere55 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 :saint2: I bet you suffer from NUN KNEES!!! Yes, bowing is a good idea and so is warmth/heating pads.......but you could also prostrate. You will have to use your knees to get down and then up again, but they would be resting in between! :saint2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Haven't been able to physically kneel in years and God hasn't struck me blind yet. There's a kneeler thing for gardeners you could try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I'm with CatherineM, actually... the humility to just sit in God's presence.... not caring what the other humans think...

Pia Jesu Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 It might be Arthur-itis...so, the appropriate knee pads might help! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pia Jesu Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Adapting Hamlet's soliloquy (and forgive me, Shakespeare!): "To kneel or not to kneel--that is the question: Whether it is nobler in mind to...(fill in the above suggestions)!" :think2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
