Well, the MRI news wasn't good.... I tore both the medial and lateral meniscus in my left knee. Dr. stunned that I'd hiked 60 miles on it, but understood the amount of damage because of it. I will be having surgery day after tomorrow, Monday, April 22 to repair it with some rehab/PT following. NOW, the real countdown can begin. I am prepping for being 'laid up' for a few days.... (for those of you that know me, I'm not a good 'sit still' kind of person), so, I'm gathering up my stuff for "sick bay."
Charlie is getting pretty out of shape and needs to get hiking again! He lives a pretty LAZY life here as evidenced in these pictures.

We've been able to catch up with Dream over the past couple days as he 'zero'ed in Erwin, Tennessee. He was able to upload and mail several videos that I'll be posting over the next couple days to catch everyone up. He's doing great, is putting in BIG miles and is missing us both. He did create the best video for me... It's just scenery, but the song and the trail speak to my heart, when he is unable to verbalize how much he misses us. Thank you sweetheart. We miss you too.
Our thoughts are with you, and we have absolutely no doubts that you'll leap every hurdle face any challenge and ford ever stream until you're able to settle in again merely climbing mountains.
ReplyDeleteJust a matter of time...and oh, the precious moments that will be shared when you're reunited!
ReplyDeleteREHAB and ReTurn!! sounds like you have a plan!!!
ReplyDeleteI guess as I type you're probably out of surgery today. I hope all went well, and you'll be up to posting soon so we all know. First step to getting back out there! :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the video he made for you when he got back out there, it made my heart smile. So nice to see a couple who love each other as truly as is apparent you do.
