A quote I like.....

"The best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you. The right person will still think the sun shines out your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with." -Juno

Surgery and a Half Marathon

Update...I hurt my knee playing basketball at the end of July. I found out it was only a partially torn ACL. So I rested it, rehabbed it, and was back in action a few weeks later. The afternoon before I went back to school, I am a p.e. teacher, I was riding my bike down a hill, my tire exploded and I flew off. Landed on my bad knee and left elbow. Went to the Dr. the next day and found out I fractured my radial head (elbow). My knee was sore and bruised but I thought it was going to be ok. However 2 weeks later it still wouldn't straighten. I went for an mri and found out that I had completely tore my ACL as well as my medial meniscus. So I went to Dr. Curl, the Baltimore Raven's Dr. (u know she has to know what she is doing) and scheduled surgery for Oct. 7th. Three days post surgery I am doing ok, they fixed everything but I am still in a lot of pain. I have a long way to go though with P.T. exercises, etc.

Half Marathon.....my #1 boy is running in his first half marathon tomorrow in Baltimore. He completed his first Sprint Triathlon a month ago with his two friends and I was there to take pictures and cheer them on. But.....since I live by myself I couldn't go home after surgery. I am at my parents in western md, about an hour and a half from bmore, so my family can take care of me. So I won't be able to cheer #1 on tom. I know he will do great and I wish him LOTS of LUCK. The coolest thing is that since they wear ankle bracelets that track their run time I can get on the computer, type his name in and follow his progress.

Yea!!! Good Luck Baby! :)
