Please Pray for Brother Nowling

Last week it was his tooth, this week his knee. He is horrible pain with his knee. Some time ago he twisted and then he did it again Monday night. He was in so much pain Tuesday night he couldn't find a comfortable position. He went to an orthopedics doctor (it happened on the job so workman's comp says he has to). They are thinking he tore the muscle (maybe just stretched it, but considering the pain more likely torn). They also found the one side of his knee is bone on bone (no cartilage) nothing to do with the twisting just years. They gave him a cortisone shot and then sent for an MRI. We don't know the results of that yet. He made it through church last night but him and I went out to eat afterwards and we wound up getting it to go because he was in such pain, he was fighting tears and ready to throw up. If it's torn, it means surgery, so please pray for him.
