Extreme Disappointment

| | Comments (2)

Well, I have been anticipating a very fun day today for weeks. We were to take Briana to the bus to New York, then we were to come home and pack up and go to meet my husband and stepsons and Ryan at Smith Mountain Lake for a boat ride. Then we were going to have dinner out before going to see Harry Potter 5 and then going to get the Deathly Hallows at Barnes and Nobles. So much for anticipation and having fun.

As we went to walk Briana to the bus, my knee, which has been giving me problems for weeks, snapped, crackled, and popped and then refused to support my weight. I couldn't believe it. I was at the doctor yesterday and got cortisone and anit-inflammatory medication. I thought I would be good to go.

Instead another Fresh Air host brought me home. My family went to the lake at my insistence (we had been planning this for awhile), and my mom came and sat with me. No lake. No HP5. No Deathly Gallows. I am in tears.

I'm sorry that your plans are ruined, but I really want to thank you and your family for the wonderful time you have showned Briana during her stay. You told me a while back you were looking forward to HP5, and going to Barnes and Nobles to buy the book. Briana got home safely, and she looks great. Once again, thanks a million. You did a wonderful job being a Fresh Air Fund host for the first time.

Ouch! Sorry to hear that. I can totally relate. I have a bad knee that I have to be super careful with!

Hope it heals up soon!
