our thoughts and prayers go out to him..

[Wrongway]

Thanks to all for your thoughts and prayers. I haven't been the best friend lately but I hate to burden others with what really is minor stuff. This entire episode has gotten me down, and I'm off of work so I don't even have that to distract me Quick replay of the story. 9/7/08 I dislocated my knee, fractured the kneecap and tore the ACL while playing..... kickball:confused24: who would have thought that a kids game could be so dangerous! At least it's a beer league so I was ready with instant anesthetics:dancefool:. A couple days before surgery, my foot became swollen, hot, red, and so painful that I could not stand it. ER docs gave me Dilaudid for pain and yes that works:thumbsup2:. Further consults and Docs decided I had developed a bone infection secondary to the injury. Now, I'm a nurse and realized there was no logical explanation to this but... so it goes. Got hospitalized for a week and been on antbiotics since then and for two more weeks still to go. Then will do more tests to see if it's healed, THEN I get to schedule surgery for my knee. So it looks like another 4-8 weeks of sheer boredom. I've had so many x-rays, MRIs, CT scans that my leg glows in the dark .

Now, our secret, and don't tell the docs cause I will hunt you down! I have been riding! Not much, but damn it feels good:big-grin-emoticon:. So Thanks again, I appreciate everybody's concern. I love you all!

So I don't guess Alan would be interested in a kicking contest for a while.

Alan, sorry to hear about the knee, but it is good to hear from you. Keep taking care of that knee, stay away from kids games, (even if it is a beer league), and let us know how you are coming along.
