If she's got to bi-lateral knees operation stage, she will have gone through hell - and that operation is very soul of liberation.
I can think of no more moving event in my life than the when i took my wife to the toilet , just after that operation and she stood unaided for the first time in ten years. It was a moment absolutely beyond tears.
Advances like that operation are only possible because of groups like ARC and the wonderful people like yourself who fundraise. There 200 different kinds of arthritis, and 50% of population will get it sometime in their lives. The government spends no money on arthritis.
Im not sure there is a god. And what he could be thinking of when he unleashed arthritis on humanity, I don't know. he deserves a punch in the nose for that one, rather than praise. However if there if there is a god.
God bless you and your friends for your work, Pete.
