I am recovering from knee surgery. I had the surgery on June 30th and am still healing up. Doc thought I had a torn meniscus, but turns out I didn't. Doc said that my patella, which should be smooth and round, was jagged and rough. Some of the pieces had broken off and were causing me pain. So he smoothed out my patella and removed the extra pieces. Recovery time is supposed to be 6 weeks. I am heading into week 5. I am back to work part time and light duty. Still walking with one crutch. I got the stitches taken out at week 2 and it appears to have been infected. A round of antibiotics were given to fight that. I'm hoping the infection is gone. I don't go back to see the doc again until August 13th, a day before my 35th birthday. My knee still doesn't feel right, and I'm still icing it frequently to help out with the pain. I'm hoping that my knee is 100% after 6 weeks, since the doc told me it would be 100% by then.
This really stinks because I will have missed out on at least 3 agility trials since this surgery. Not only missing out on trials, but also missing out on practices. I hope the girlz remember how to play this game once I'm back on my feet!
I can't wait until I'm feeling better and can run and play again :)

Wow Kristie. I haven't checked your blog in a while. You've had a lot going on!! Looks like you had a wonderful cruise. Sorry to hear about your knee. Hope it is 100% soon. One of these days I will make it to SB knitting again.
Hope you are feeling better soon. At least you have those furry helpers to keep you company.
