Just a quick thought!

So I don't have any pictures to post of this past weekend trip to Jackson Hole, Wyoming.  For some reason I didn't find the energy to take any photos.  The volleyball games took a lot out of me and I mean a lot!!!!  I ended up tearing my ACL!!!!  After the initial shock of it all I am beginning to see that although life is difficult it will get better!  I am supposed to have surgery in a few weeks and I am ready to work hard to get my left knee strong again.  I more or less wanted to post this unfortunate news to say that I am so grateful for the man I married!  He has been so calm and even when I was rolling on the court yelling a few choice words he was right by my side comforting me.  It is amazing to think that I am so lucky to be blessed with such a perfect man for me!  I am also blessed that I have wonderful friends and family who have been there and will continue to be there for support.  I'm not sure why certain events happen, but I do know I will look back and know that it taught me ......something......right?  ......maybe patience......faith.....one day I'll know why?  In the mean time I am struggling with the fact that I can't go 100 percent seven days a week!  I guess I need to slow down!  Maybe that is why it all happened......who knows?  I'll keep you all updated!

I totally hear you! It's deffinately humbling and frustrating to not be able to do everything you know you can do. The three months I was on IV's I had to let go of everything, I'm the one that makes the majority of the house function.
I feel for ya! There is an end in sight, it may not be quick but it will happen.

Glad you found someone who makes you feel whole. It's so much easier to go through life's challenges with a good man at your side, or woman whatever the case may be. I hope the surgery goes well and good luck!

Kristie,
Sorry you got too much of me in you. It is not just the knee that is bugging you, but it is because you can't go 24/7! It is so great how well Ryan takes care of you. You are truly blessed! I will be here to help. Your recovery will be amazingly fast. But the hardest thing will be wanting to do too much too soon. Slow down girl!Make sure you give it plenty of time to heal! And you will be just like new! Love You Lots

Kristie, I'm so sorry about your knee. I know how you feel. I have to have mine replaced, a new joint. Sometimes the pain is hard to handle, but you'll make it through. It's so hard not to be able to do those fun things that spice up our lives. The grandkids love it when I get down on the floor to play with them. But it sure makes it hard on the "ole" knee. Ryan will just have to take care of you and give you lots of extra hugs. Hope you heal quickly. Love you guys...Aunt Val
