DJsCorner: May & June 2011 Summary

My last post was in May, guess Judi's right, gotta get caught up. Just seems like there's so much to do, getting ready for winter, hunting and a trip all at once.
Back to catching up.....
May was so crazy. Art & I decided to go back to Oregon, collect our car and get back here for our garage sale June 3rd. In the meantime, my knee is still hurting from when I stepped out of the horse trailer wrong. Doc Schnell took x-rays, found the problem and says to me, you want surgery on May 10th. I told him we were flying to Oregon on the 17th, he says, "You'll be fine." Day surgery, not bad, recovery seems a little slow, since he had to do more than he figured on. But, tickets are bought already. So, we hitched a ride with Jody to David/Glorias may 16th. They took us to Hinckley where Arte picked us up and took us to our motel. Took a shuttle in the morning to airport, flew to Oregon. Visit, camp at the beach, reunion with Arts & my family at Corvallis Park. Took Mom and Aunt Jo around to put flowers on family gravesites. I was still hobbling around, not able to bend my knee very far.

Camping at South Beach S.P.

We did bring the 95 bonneville home. Good thing, since the Impala needed some work this summer. Got back home, preparing for the garage sale, still hobbling, fell down on the stairs and wrenched my bad knee all the way closed, oww did that hurt, caught my foot in between the rungs and broke 3 bones on the top of my foot. Who does that after they had surgery? At least it was the same leg, so when they gave me the 5 lb brace to drag around, it was on my bad leg. Well, the show must go on! Jody and I did have our garage sale and I spent a lot of time in the camper laying down, trying to stop the pain in my leg/foot. After our sale, Art took me to Urgent care where I got a foot brace. Then Doc Cardwell put the 5-pounder on later in the week, boy, what a summer. I did get a garden, thanks to Jody. Did some planting myself, she did the plants, which is hard, you have to get down on your hands & knees for that, it was great she could come help me. So went June, me hobbling and whining and complaining the whole time. That cast was a pain when my leg hurt already.
Two very busy months, everything I did took twice as long, or I had to prevail on someone else to help me.
