Knee Surgery

I am happy to say that my knee surgery was successful. The surgeon found a meniscus tear and also some swollen tissue that he removed. I was in a lot of pain at first but it's now five days after the surgery and I'm off crutches and off pain killers. I just have a slight limp and just a little pain still but I have almost full range of motion back which is a lot quicker than I expected. I go in to the doctor's office tomorrow to get my stitches removed. To anyone out there that has been living with knee pain for years like I was, just go to the doctor to get it looked at! I was stubborn for a long time and thought it would go away. I was also terrified of having surgery but it was fine. I hope to be back to 100% and pain free in a few weeks. Thanks for your support!

Utah











We just got back from our trip to Utah. We had so much fun but we were so busy! We drove through the night on the way there and back and we are still recovering, ha ha. Jackson had so much fun playing with his aunts, uncles, cousins and grandma and he got to meet his aunt Myndi and her family for the first time. We had a blast going to the movies, riding bikes up the canyon and going hiking to a waterfall. This trip was much more successful than our last trip to Utah where Jackson basically screemed the whole time :). I really love this stage that he's in, he is so much happier now. Sorry to those of you we didn't see, I can't beleive this trip went by so fast!
