Knee Injury

Thursday, May 9 was a morning that changed my life for what I thought would be forever.  As I was stepping into the shower, the floor was unusually slippery and I slipped.  As I was going down my legs tried to do the splits but my left knee didn't cooperate and was injured.  Instantly I knew I was hurt, but I didn't know how bad yet.  After x-rays, lots of hurtful examinations, and an MRI it was determined that I had not only slightly torn my MCL, but my PCL in my knee had come unattached and while it was doing this had torn part of my Tibia bone with it. :(  The verdict was in and I had to have surgery on Wed. May 22.
The worst part about this news, besides having to miss the last week of school, is that I can't put any weight on my knee for a month after the surgery!!  How is a teacher and mother of three supposed to do that?!
Dutifully I got a sub and enlisted the help of my ward and husband and on May 22 went in for my surgery.  Details of the surgery and recovery coming soon.
