Today started out great. Michael was going to be working all day with the Science Olympiad doing amateur radio. I was going to plant flowers and get caught up on email. But after Michael had worked for just a couple of hours walking around campus and up and down stairs, he came down on his left knee and, with a shoot of pain, it gave 'way. He caught himself with his right leg, and the pain was just excruciating.

He called me and said he was coming home and that he'd hurt his knee. Argh.

We went together to the Emergency Room where Dr. Willis examined him. He left there with crutches and a dosepack of cortisone. No swelling, no redness or bruising. He's going to his knee surgeon on Monday.

The bad thing is that he has hurt BOTH knees. Catching himself with his right knee.. hurt it! This evening he is feeling better, but still limping around and moaning a lot, because it hurts him to bear any weight on either leg.

His first concern is that he wants to keep walking. Today he'd done his walk on campus. I left with Maddy this afternoon and we walked the Clear Creek Trail. Tomorrow... we'll take as it comes. If he's hurting when he bears weight, I don't think that he should walk, even with the crutches. Instead, we'll have him do walking-type weight work with his arms. I'll keep you posted.

My yellow trucks took the Trophy in the Art Challenge! YAY! I am always surprised when I have a pure photo that wins, because I don't see my real strength as photography.

We were driving along in northern Indiana and went through a tiny town. There on the local dealer's lot ... right in front, were these 6 yellow trucks! LOL I just thought that this needed to be documented.

Let's see... other stuff... I'm getting more signups for my upcoming Summer Session classes. It's too soon to tell, but it looks like this could well be our biggest enrollment yet!

Excitement! We have sunshine finally today. The trees are all very green and the woods looks dark and mysterious. It's funny how it goes from being wide-open and bare to being a spooky place, almost overnight! There are deer in the backyard grazing and bothering Maddy. ;)
