I had a bit of an accident last night. I was outside with the kids talking to our neighbor Mike, when all of a sudden Caite hit me from the back with her bike. I fell forward twisting my knee. I instantly grabbed it because I could feel it dislocate. Yep, I felt the kneecap on the side of my knee not on the front of it. I pushed it back over as I straightened my knee and hit the ground. OUCH!!! is all I have to say. I sat in the road by our driveway for a while with Mike said, "What do I need to do?" I tried to get up, but I blacked out. So I just sat there for a while thinking I'm glad I wasn't holding Halle when I fell. He instantly called Aaron and told him to come home. Then helped me in the house and brought all the kids in. Since then I have have either been on the couch or the bed with my knee in a brace and elevated.

We were supposed to go to Isaac's Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquet, but instead we called our friends with a boy Isaac's age and he went with them. My visiting teacher was at the banquet and called to tell me she would take and pick up the kids from school. Then early this morning my best friend and other visiting teacher called and said she was coming to spend the morning with me so I didn't have to get up and do anything. I'm not used to being on the receiving end of service, but it's nice to know people love me. I did have to put an end to it when they said they could bring in dinner. It's not THAT bad, I can hobble around and make dinner!

So, it's nothing major, just an inconvenience. My family is known for major injuries. I have 2 brothers who between the 2 of them have broken and had surgery on every bone in their body. My brother in law just had a hip replacement at the age of 45 and my sister just had surgery on her shoulder. So I'm good with being down and limping for a few days.
