A bee's "corbiculae", or pollen-baskets, are located on its tibiae (midsegments of its legs - knees). The phrase "the bee's knees," meaning "the height of excellence," which became popular in the U.S. in the 1920s, is a term indicating excellence - the highest quality - because bees carry pollen back to the hive in sacs on their legs. The allusion is to the concentrated goodness to be found around the bee's knee.
With that said, here is what my daughter's knee look like right now. The left knee is bent at -10 degrees...that is the furthest she can straighten it at this time.

I just adore her smile! What a trooper. Amen!
ReplyDeleteWow Dana! I'll be praying for Mia. I love that picture of her, she is so full of JOY! Precious girl...she is healed!
ReplyDeleteYou will be amazed how well the joint injection will work. My daughter is older and can verbalize for the little ones. When she gets her knee drained and injected, she will say afterward, "Oh, Momma. That injection makes my knee feel sooooo much better."
ReplyDeleteYou want that inflammation gone so her little leg can grow correctly. You never know how long an injection will work. Marian had her knee injected several years ago, and it has been fine ever since. The doctor can't give you a timeline. It may last for a week or forever. I will pray for the "forever." Cindy Price
