Surgery?

I just had my doctor's appointment regarding my knee. She said the MRI showed that I had 1) torn cartilage 2) a stretched or torn ACL (ligament) and 3) the beginning of arthritis in that knee. She is sending me to an orthopedic surgeon to schedule me for surgery for the torn cartilage and possibly the fix the ligament. I am then to have several months of rehab and buy a $1600 knee brace! I sure hope my husband's insurance pays for this! I am not having much pain in it right now so it is tempting to just not do anything. I will see what the surgeon says.

On a different note, we are pretty sure Ellie May is going to have pups (I know we said that before, but this time she looks pretty big!). We have been busy fixing up the dog shed to make a few pens to seperate her from Odie when she has them. We may already have 2 of them sold. But,. . . .I guess you can't count your puppies before they are born! Ellie is due the end of August, right when school is due to start again!

Leah is busy preparing Blaze for the D rally. This is a big day for people in Pony Club. She will compete in dressage, show jumping and cross country jumping. Hope he does well for her. Wish all you horse lovers could come for this; I think you would really enjoy seeing the event.

We are currently planning to go to Canada's Wonderland in one week with the Youth Centre. All my kids are going to go, but we need at least 20 people to come to pay for the bus. We are getting a great deal at the gate, so I hope we get to go. Jim is not coming because he has a training day he has to go to.
