I have a good excuse for not being around for a while. I had knee surgery a couple of weeks ago and I just haven't felt up to doing much of anything.
Back in December of 2010 I injured my knee and found out I had torn the meniscus. The only way to fix it is with surgery. I didn't want to go through it, so I did exercises to strengthen my knee and lived on Tylenol. As the year went on, I was able to do less and less and my quality of life was suffering. Not to mention, it was keeping my family from doing the things they wanted to do, because I couldn't walk much.
This past November, after turning down the chance to go to NYC to the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, I decided to go ahead and schedule the surgery after the holidays. But just my luck, in the middle of December, I injured the same knee again. This time I was completely chair bound barely able to walk. The doctor confirmed I had torn the meniscus on the other side of the same knee. There was no more putting off the inevitable.
So, I had the surgery and I'm slowly on the mend. I hope you will stick with me as I recover and take my time getting back in the swing of things.

Thankful Thursday will return next week. I hope you will join the linky party and share what you are thankful for!
