I was recently asked the question who could use the product Freeze It the most. The answer was super easy to come by. It is this guy:

Who is that? Well, as my regular readers know, that is my husband. Both of us are all of thirty (I know we are soooo old!). My body however seems to holding up better than his (not sure why that is though). Since college, Bill has a had a problem with his knee (I have known him since we were 19, and he was having knee problems then already). The first time I remember his knee going out on him was when we were helping his grandfather move. If I remember correctly, he was carrying a box to the street, walked over the curb, and his knee went out. Not is only painful that his knee goes out, it also pulls and stretches all the muscles and tendons around it. That is the most painful part for him. He’s tweaked it on and off several times through the 11 years I have known him. Most notable are two instances that have happened somewhat recently. The first that comes to mind is when his brother Nick got married. Bill was dancing and his knee, yet again, went out on him. I think he said his shoe stuck to the floor. The last time he had a major issue was at my family reunion in August. He was playing baseball and his knee went out when he was at bat. Not a good situation at all.

As he has gotten older, it seems like it takes longer and longer each time to recover. It also seems like what we used in the past no longer works. He is at the point where when the weather changes his knee starts to bother him. However, he will not go to the doctor for it. That where Freeze It Gel comes into play. I think if he would start dealing with the pain of the muscle pulls and tears that happen when this occurs, it will solve a lot of his other problems. He is constantly complaining of a sore neck. I personally think this is all connected (plus he can use the Freeze It on his neck too!). I think he adjusts the way he walks and even lays due to the pain in his leg. Get rid of the pain — get rid of the other aches. I am not a doctor, but that makes sense to me.

There are several uses for Freeze It such as:

• Sore Muscles & Muscle Sprains
• Back, Shoulder, Neck Pain
• Arthritis, Painful Ankle, Knee, Hip & Elbow Joints
• Muscular Strains

Bill could use it for all of these when he having knee issues. Also, during the summer, he plays softball and gets really sore.  This is a product that would definitely make a difference in my household. We have a 3 year old and a 5 month old (who this week figured out how to roll across the entire living room floor!) that need to be constantly chased after. When one parent is out of commission, it just makes it a whole lot more difficult. We’ll survive, but I am worried that if Bill is having problems now already, what are the next 20 years going to be like?

I figure my Halloween post is a good lead in to my next topic here.    We were up in Suring this last weekend for my family reunion which was held at the old schoolhouse.  Next to this building is a cemetery.  A lot of my family is buried there, so we always try to take a walk through when we are up there.  One of the coolest (yes, I am using that word) gravestones up there has an interesting saying on it.  The guy who is buried there was blind and wrote his saying himself.  This is what is written on his gravestone:

Remember friends as you walk by

As you are now, so once was I

As I am now, you soon shall be

Prepare for death and follow me. 

Cool and creepy.  Let me know what you think.  What would you want on your gravestone?

Every couple years, Bill’s knee goes out on him.  The last time it happened we were at his brother’s wedding.  It has happened again.  This time it happened at my family reunion while he was batting playing baseball.  According to him, his knee sounded like all of your fingers cracking at once when he popped it.  It is been in pain since.  I keep telling him that I think he needs to go to the doctor.  Since I know nothing about knees, I thought I’d ask all of you.

Does this sound serious?  He is worried about needing surgery on it, so he is not real keen on going to get it looked at.  I am concerned and think he should go to the doctor.
