Today I took Eric to the orthopedic surgeon and the news wasn't what we hoped for. It has been 6 1/2 weeks since his injury and it looks like he will have another 3 or 4 weeks before it is fully healed. So we will have to postpone our plans to go the water-park on Friday. How disappointing.
But I was able to ask the dr if they would be able to complete the surgery on my knee if I got a referral. He said yes and even looked up my MRI results. I may have a long recovery since my injury is 2 years old and hasn't healed yet. I asked how long...6 weeks on crutches with no driving. That sounded like worst case scenario. So I went down to talk to my physical therapist from last year and he agreed to get me the referral. Now I just have to figure out when the best time would be to have the surgery. I am thinking around Thanksgiving in case my recovery takes weeks. I can just shop for Christmas from the comforts of my family room. I would like the have the surgery in early September but then I may not feel up to our San Diego trip.

It is good that you both had to laugh at yourselves, that's what life is all about. I hope your surgery will be successful when you decide to do it.
Poor Eric! I hope you get the surgery and can get back to running and stuff.
