As most of you know our reunion last year was the result of my being tripped in March by my kid's dog and breaking my kneecap in two. Almost ten weeks of sitting with my leg locked straight brought on enough boredom that I finally decided to organize the reunion several of us had been talking about for several years. Shortly after the first anniversary of my broken knee cap (last Saturday)I once again fell collapsing that same knee under me and straining the knee so that in 24 hours it looked like a tennis ball on a knitting needle. A visit to the orthopedic doc on Monday determined it was probably a small tear in the scar tissue between the two parts of the knee cap. After taking a turkey baster of fluid out he told me to keep the joint immobile for two weeks and we'd go from there. It's actually much better than I expected but I wanted to inform any of you still reading this that despite the circumstances I WILL NOT be planning a reunion for this year despite the fun we had. This blog remains available to add anything you'd like to keep in touch with others so don't hesitate to send me stuff.
Thanks,
Pat
