OK here is the good the bad and the ugly of what I have been going through.

I had an appointment on Tuesday the 23rd. In the morning I was getting ready to go to an SEOP at my daughter school I was all ready and didn't want to click my heels on the hard wood floors so I turned to tip toe into the other room and there was a definate pop and soooo much pain. My knee had not been doing great but this really didn't help. At the doctors appointment that night he told me I have torn my miniscus, so a cortazone injection will not help this. He told me it will not heal on it's own so I need to see an othopedic surgen.

The guy that I go get body work done by also works on all the ellite athletes at WEber State Univercity, a few are trying to qualify for the olympics. Any I called to cancel an appointment that I had with him and he told me the name of the surgen that has worked on the ellite runners knee. I have an appointment with him Monday morning.

So long story is that I will get fixed and I will run again, but it is going to be a longer journey then I had originally anticipaited. After many tears I have resolved that I will get through this and everthing will be fine.

Sorry I have not blogged in a while. After the insident with my knee, I didn't try the elliptical for two days, and only got three in today, it's still a bit tender. Then we have been having some computer issues at home. I will try to keep you posted on what is going on. It would be nice to hear of other people have gone through this surgery and had succuess.

Thanks!
