helpful hands , afghans and me
Hi all , sorry I have not been posting in a while . I am not ignoring
you all . My dad came up from California and we spent a week together before he went on to his 65th high school reunion in upstate New York . He will be back here on the 25th and is driving a car he is leaving me so hubby and I can have two now ( it is so nice to be spoiled ) I did not get a whole lot of stitching done while he was here. Then , The day he left we decided as it was 85 degrees and 90% humidity , to head to the beach. We had a blast playing in the surf and sand with the kids. Well , on coming home , I was trying to get everything from the beach into the washing machine and I slipped and blew out my left knee. Normally this would not be a problem , but I have artifical knees. They are not supposed to blow out. I am up early this morning to go have the knee drained and x-rayed. FUN FUN. Needless to say , I have not been up to par on my knitting and crochet in the last two weeks . I know I have lots that have to be mailed out .. Afghan for Gee Gee is coming along , need hubby to stop after work and grab another skien of black for that , Helpful Hands basket is almost full , I need to finish the item I am making and will get it in the mail soon . I thought the 1st box was mailed off ( those in the know , know who this is to ) and I found it 2 days ago in the back of my van ( when we went to the beach ) so I will have hubby mail that after work too . Afghan # 2 is almost completed , I think I have only to sew the strips together. Sorry I have taken as long as I have , I will get them done asap. Now off to the doctors , God Bless , Coggie |

Update :
I went to the Doctors last wednesday and she sent me off to an orthopedic surgeon . Said it was too far gone for her to even look at .. well I went to see the Surgeon yesterday and he wanted to operate today. Seems I ripped all of the muscle from around my patella and 4 tendon are stretched beyond repair. They will have to go in and unattach my muscle from my thigh and reattach it to the knee before reattaching to my thigh bone. Also they are going to take the tendons and put in place sorta like rubberbands , but they say these should hold for at least 20 years. Along with this , they are going to scrape my patella , I guess I have alot of arthritis build up under there. I will be either wheelchair or crutches bound for at least 2 months before they can begin physical thearpy. I could not have the surgery today as my dad is coming into town on friday and he flies out on Monday , plus this weekend is my son's 14th Birthday. ( Hubby yelled saying I am putting others before me but you all know how this goes). I go in for pre op tomorrow and the surgery is at 7am on Tuesday the 29th, having to be at the hospital at 5am. I am unsure at this time if it will be outpatient or if I will be in for a day or two. Because of the pain medication I have been unable to knit or crochet as I tend to fall asleep when I do sit still. I will finish up things as I can . God Bless , Coggie |

Good Lord, Coggie! That sounds awful! I tend to agree with you husband, but
I guess, as it is not life-threatening, it must be your decision. I will add you to my prayers, especially this week. Take care, my friend. Katherine |

Hubbies can be right (well, sometimes), isnīt it? :-) I go in for pre op tomorrow and the surgery is at 7am on Tuesday the 29th, having to be at the hospital at 5am.

Hope my prayers will do that. Hugs, Anna Maria |
