My New Testament and my Bible Dictionary are in a different book. We decided to bind my Old Testament separate…it’s so big it gets to be all by itself. Being a bookbinder by trade, he told me to come over and we would figure out what to do. A darling man by the name of Steve Rasmussen who understood how much I love my scriptures. I didn’t want to start over again.Īnd then I found the nicest man in Alpine, Utah. I bought a smaller set and everything.īut, my scriptures are all marked up just the way I want them. Then he said, “I have been a doctor for many years, and I see hundreds of people in your condition, and no one has EVER told me they got in that shape from reading their scriptures!” I wish you could have seen him laugh.īecause he knows me well, he knew I wasn’t going to stop reading my scriptures, so he advised me to get a smaller set. My doctor laughed right out loud…so hard he had to sit down on that little doctor stool. (In case you are wondering why I lift my scriptures out of my scripture bag so often, it’s because I teach seminary and institute… ha!) He asked me what I was doing several times a day that required lifting an object “like this.” He showed me the motion and I knew exactly what it was! It was lifting my scriptures out of my scripture bag. I told him it was in so much pain I couldn’t even roll over when I slept. I went to my family doctor, he’s not an orthopedic but he gets me. I’m not a big fan of surgery when it is 100% effective. Another suggested a surgery that is only 20% effective. One suggested a cortisone shot, which did not remedy the situation. It got so sore I was having trouble lifting, opening things, even sleeping.
