I have been working on redoing a friend's web site..lots of pages so lots of time and effort, but also lots of fun!! once i have completed it, will post url here! she is so happy to have a new site as hers is really in need of change and better layout!

It has been a good thing to have something to do where i can sit as i hurt my knee last week. Ready for a good laugh?

i feed the sandhill cranes - a whole family of mom and dad and two babies. Have fed them ever since i moved in house and never had a problem with them. Last tuesday they were in the yard and the feeder was empty so i went out and filled the feeder and all of a sudden the male crane got super pissed off and started jumping around and coming after me. He started attacking me and chasing me so i was backing up quickly and slipped on the wet grass and fell.

Once i was on the ground, he stopped the attack which i was relieved about. i fell on my left shoulder which hurt like hell right away and is still sore but later in the day my knee started hurting really badly.

i had torn my ACL several years ago and was really worried that i had reinjured it.
i have been staying off of it -- working on web pages-- but it wasnt getting any better so Friday i went to doc.

Turns out i have a torn meniscus. It is a shock-absorbing cartilage in the middle of your knee. There are two menisci - one on the inside ("medial") and another on the outside of the knee ("lateral").

So am now taking a heavy anti inflammatory and will see the doc in two weeks. If not healed -- MRI but i am sure it will be well by then. i just have to take it easy and for sure NOT feed the cranes!!

My best friend Thea who lived just down the street from me, moved into her new house on Thursday. The new house is GREAT and so much like the house here that she left...i am so happy for her and she is only about five minutes away so that is very good.
