I can't believe it's been nearly a month since I posted anything, let alone a real post.
.
We went to NYC for the Papal Mass at Yankee Stadium. In short, it was AWESOME!
.
Four days later, we drove to Ohio to visit my family there. That Saturday was my nephews' first communion. The same day was my niece's first birthday party. The day after that we took my youngest brother to the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame.
.
Four days later, we flew to Florida to visit our family there. That Saturday was my grandparents' (in-law) 65th wedding anniversary. The day after that, we had a baby shower for my sister (in-law).
.
You get the idea. We've been busy. I helped plan the anniversary party and baby shower, so when I was home, I was working on those things.
.
We've been thinking of preparing for our move this summer and we've been going through the boxes in the basement - at a snail's pace, but at least it's getting done. This weekend, we had 4 days of non-stop rain and our basement flooded, so yesterday the going through boxes really picked up in pace. Then, last night, as I was taking wet, empty boxes up to the trash, I blew out my knee. And then spent the evening/night in the emergency room.
.
I will probably need surgery, as I can feel the bones rubbing together and I I'm certain that nothing is really holding that knee together at all. It is a knee I injured in college playing soccer (I was slide-tackled by an overly aggressive girl), so it was already weak. Now, I'm in an immobilizer, with crutches and the need for my husband to help me off the floor (when I'm coming up the stairs) and this morning I had the humiliating privilege of getting help in and out of the tub, then getting dressed. Funner times were never had.
.
I could use some prayers, as I am feeling a bit sorry for myself and am completely unable to do simple things like cook breakfast for my children, get myself on and off the toilet without a lot of maneuvering, shower....
.
If I can get my router found (I think it's in a box somewhere) and get it all hooked up, I might be able to post a lot in the coming weeks.
.
If not, though, please know I pray for you daily (even if you are no longer checking in here, I pray for you.). I think of you and hope you're doing well.
.
God Bless.
