So... this just happened!

[@MaureenTheTemp]

This is a great example of why "live simple live free" is such a great philosophy. Imagine if you were injured, but heavily in debt! Being laid up and unable to work would be a disaster, and so stressful it would be harder to heal. While this doesn't look like fun, you know you can take the time you need to get completely well. I am praying for your complete recovery quickly!

[@bettyboop7738]

Amen to your comment. ! Bill and Elizabeth are right where they need to be! They can rest in God's grace HE has taken care of everything ! Maureen..you are spot on ! Amen and Amen 👍❤️❤️❤️❤️😔

[@lovestosingalot55bodin7]

Amen!!

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

Yes, exactly!

[@LaLadybug2011]

Prayers for a fantastic specialist, speedy diagnosis and recovery! It's comforting to know you have Elizabeth AND an amazing son/daughter-in-law and grands to help out!

[@kathyirvine6719]

You're in good hands you have the most sweetest nurse ever, Elizabeth. God bless you both and a speedy recovery.

[@DreamerSeerFaithBeliever]

We're adding your knee to our prayers, Bill. GOD bless you and Elizabeth. Maybe you both just need time to rest and heal. ❤️🙏

[@grandpahickory613]

All OF A SUDDEN i HAD TO HAVE ESOPHAGEAL SURGERY...I know what your going through sir...I am 71 years old lost 53 pounds been on liquid diet for 2 years...Learning to eat solid food all over again as my stomach has shrunk...Having terrible time of it, very hard learning to swallow, I choke a lot, its like you are going to die, have anxiety attacks real bad when I have choking attacks..GOD bless you...

[@jlrbhj]

I second the advice to avoid surgery if at all possible. Wait and see. I had a meniscal cyst and it can be painful! It healed over time, took a few months. No surgery. Hope you have a quick recovery from whatever is going on.

[@jennieparker327]

…. Also Bill, glucosamine with con right now and MSN has done me a world of good. I am going into my 80th year. Get some I take three a day you need to strengthen those tendons, ligaments and protect that synovial fluid.

[@pixienanny]

There are some people that we’ve never met, but we feel like we’ve known them for years - - you and Elizabeth are two of those people. ☺️ I’m including both of you in my prayers, and may the Lord be glorified in this unexpected event.

[@sheilaratcliff4833]

Tim told me what happened!! I'm so sorry! I just watched the Florida video. So happy you found a suitable home. Cute bird house for you snowbirds! You have worked hard for it.

[@williamoore1914]

Prayers for a full recovery Bill. Stay Blessed

[@corysmama1]

When it rains; it pours! Prayers are with the both of you.

[@GinaSiska]

Hopefully you’ll heal up quick 😊and sounds like you’re in good hands with Elizabeth. I’m 53 and I’ve had two full knee replacements in 6 months and I’m so thankful that I’m pain-free!!

[@denisetharp2500]

so sorry to hear this. Hopefully you get in to the orthopedic Dr. soon. I have an appointment with an orthopedic Dr. in a couple weeks I tore ligaments in my left pinky and hand. I can't even imagine how much your leg hurts. I will definitely be praying for you.

[@joanharris8057]

We never know what a day can bring! So glad that you were at church to get help and Elizabeth could drive you to ER. Hope you get a speedy diagnosis! Praying for patience and healing.

[@gaylkirkpatrick7128]

Praying you find out exactly what the origin of the pain is and that you heal quickly!

[@harborgirl8877]

Hope you have a speedy recovery ❤. You might want to rethink dividing yourself between two homes. We did. It sounds good but it spread us too thin. Just a thought 🤷🏻‍♀️.

[@terrilandry1313]

Bill, hope your leg gets better soon!! Soft tissue injuries, sprain, strain, pulled muscles, ligaments, or tendons are the worse. I’ve had all those, plus numerous broken bones. Broken bones will completely heal, but soft tissue injuries are never the same again!! Winter of 2018, I slipped and fell on black ice. I broke my hip and split my femur, vertically as if chopping wood. Worse pain I ever felt! Anyway I spent eight days in the hospital after having surgery. I now have a titanium rod inside my femur that goes from my hip to my knee. Also have screws in my hip and just above my knee. It took a year to heal. During that time I used a walker, then after several months advanced to a cane. Now I’m walking w/o the cane! It took three years, but the injuries did heal!! My dad injured his leg in 1969. He was in the hospital for nine months. Back then, they didn’t have the technology they do today, or even rehabs! I’m your age. It took longer for me to heal than it would probably have taken a younger person, but I am doing well. I think you’ll also do well! Don’t be discouraged if it takes a long time, you’ll eventually get there!! Oh yea, my dad ended up having three knee replacements on his injured leg. ( over a 30 yr period). I guess the “ older” type of knee replacements don’t last forever. Best wishes to you!!

[@nanataylor6405]

I had the same thing. Hurt so bad I could barely breathe. After years of knee problems, I was scheduled for knee replacement surgery. The most painful thing I’ve ever done. Four months later they wanted to do the other one and I didn’t want to. The first one was still so painful. Might as well get the pain all over at once, so I went for it. 4 years later, right knee won’t get me up a step without pain, so I do one step at a time. Surgeon said it would be a year before I could sleep through the night, but four years later I still can’t. I have poor balance, can’t walk all the way through a grocery store, can’t get up off the floor without scooting to the staircase, lifting up three steps and then pulling myself upright on the bannister, can’t kneel, can’t squat. I don’t regret it because I was down to bone on bone after 7 previous knee surgeries, but the limitations are really frustrating. Best wishes for your recovery.

[@aspenriverrun]

Praying for an answer to what it is, and also for swift healing, Bill! Bless you all.🕊️

[@popeye3305]

So sorry to hear about your knee Bill. About 10 years ago I was on the roof cleaning gutters. I was sitting indian style with my legs crossed. I leaned forward and heard a pop. I tried to get to my feet, but I didn't have any stability. I had to wait 4 hrs on the roof until my neighbor got home to help me down. I went to work the next day, but I couldn't really walk. Went to a surgeon and had an MRI. The MRI showed a tear in my MCL. It kinda felt like there was something stuck in my knee while I attempted to walk. Surgery and a couple weeks of rehab and I was well on my way to recovery. Surgery was an out patient procedure. Now that one knee is actually stronger than the other due to college football injuries a long time ago. The doctor did also scrap a bunch of scar tissue in that knee too. I'm praying all is well. Hopefully you will be back on your feet soon.

[@DDee-oi6kn]

Good luck with getting in to see any dr quickly. Even my vet is booking 4-5 weeks out!

[@spoly8139]

Sending prayers for speedy recovery! You have a good excuse now to just relax and not do any work! You'll be as good as new before you know it.

[@jeangraceNpeace6767]

Aww Bill, sorry to hear this. Hopefully it's something that won't require surgery to fix. You're in my prayers and with Elizabeth at your side, you're in good hands. I have a friend who went to the doctor about her knee pain a few years ago. Her doctor said it was O.L.D. Syndrome. My friend said she'd never heard of that and asked what it was. The doctor said, "you're getting old." We've laughed about that for years! Hope you're pain free soon!

[@mimsietwo632]

So sorry you are in such pain, Bill. I'm thinking what a blessing it is that it didn't happen while you and Barry were doing that major renovation, or while you were in Florida. You are at a time when you can rest, close to home.

[@coolstamper]

Oh sooooo sorry to hear about your knee problem…praying for the best diagnosis for you Bill and fast healing!!! ❤️🙏🏻❤️

[@leaht4505]

Praying for your speedy recovery and a diagnosis soon, Bill. Also I continue to pray for Elizabeth! 🙏🙏🙏

[@aproverbs31woman59]

[@megk.4599]

Bless you all & gentle hugs all around…prayers for healing too 🙏.

[@BradfordHomestead]

Big giant hug to both of you and prayers definitely for both of you.

[@2451Yvonne]

I had the same thing happen to me last year. It was the meniscus. I avoided the operation and healed it with 3 weeks of rest. It's like new. Get well soon, Bill.

[@barbrabrurrier7548]

I feel your pain since I have issues in one knee and yes they will probably have you do an MRI. Make sure to wear ear plugs for it's very loud

[@dianna2911]

Oh no! I'll be praying that the doctors get a clear picture of what's going on with your knee, Bill. Much love to you and Elizabeth.

[@gingersnapjudy]

So glad you didn't break anything! Speedy recovery!

[@connieverbeck1110]

So sorry this happened. Sounds like you are in good hands!! 🙏💞

[@lizstewart5412]

Prayers that you find out quickly, exactly what is going on with your knee & that you are quickly on the road to a full recovery. Continued prayers for Elizabeth as well. 🙏💕

Take it easy. Fla traffic right now is bad - Sometimes it’s better just to live simple. I like where my son is Crystal Springs. Zephrahills is 8 munutes away.

[@faithhope2212]

My goodness. So sorry, out of the blue! It is good that its not likely chronic. Praying for a quick resolution and recovery!!🙏🕊

[@ladyofwildrose]

So sorry that happened to you Bill. I can relate to the trying to stand up from sitting with my own knee pain and other aches and pains in my legs, hips, back and feet, that I am believing Jesus will turn things around, renew my youth and fully restore you, Elizabeth and me. Thank you Lord that no weapon of infirmity forged against Bill will prosper and that you are perfecting all that concerns him. You have seen Bill's tears and heard his cries and you will heal him! Everything will be made beautiful in its time in Jesus' name! Amen!

[@christophervogt7456]

Prayers for a quick recovery Bill! 🙏 I'm sure Elizabeth & your family will take the best care of you!

Oh Bill, I'm so sorry you are going through this. Praying for you to be healed soon. You have a great care taker there beside you.

[@elim7228]

I'm so sorry to hear about your ordeal. Wish you get to see the specialist quickly, and to have the quickest recovery from your problem. God willing, God speed, God bless 🙏 you guys.

[@Mimi2Two]

Elizabeth - we have no doubt that Bill is in the best hands possible. About 10 years ago, I heard “that pop” as I was coming down the stairs at work. I was the last one there and my cell phone was in my car. I hopped to the car (left leg) and drove myself home. I was too stubborn to go to the doctor - my husband went to the pharmacy and bought a knee brace and a cane. After 3 weeks, I was able to “Walk/hobble” without the cane. I’m glad you are going to see a specialist…stubborn is over-rated. 🙏🙏

[@willymags123]

I'm glad it doesn't sound too serious. You're in good hands with Elizabeth there. I'll be praying for y'all. Till next time, God bless. 💛💚🧡

[@hokeypokeypots]

I hope that you feel better soon...and that your knee heals completely without needing surgery. I've enjoyed your site...and have gotten a lot of inspiration, encouragement and good tips from both you and your lovely wife...and I wish you both the best of health and good fortune in the future so that you can keep posting your interesting videos. 😊😊

[@wendyburston3132]

Good to hear you Bill. I feel so bad for you. Knee pain is so debilitating, and for an active person like you? Very frustrating as well. I heard Elizabeth at the end there.... Those motherly instincts have kicked in👍😊. I'd be enjoying all that extra attention. Don't know if you use youversion Bible but it's so relaxing to just sit and listen to the Word. Yesterday I went through the whole book of John. I can remember it better that way. Just a thought. It might make the time go by faster for you👍. May the Lord refresh you and heal you and give you and the doctors wisdom for the next move.
