A whole new year is here with all the promise of a fresh start and wouldn't you know it I decided to end the old year by having knee surgery on the 30th of December. I torn my meniscus on my left knee in 2 places, so surgery was the best bet for healing. The doctor did a arthroscopic procedure so scaring is minimal - just 3 little incisions. When he got inside he found a huge amount of arthritis on the back of my knee cap so he scraped that while he in there...yes, it is as painful as it sounds. As of today I'm still walking with a cane but it seems to be getting better.
I don't make New Years' resolution any more- that way when I don't accomplish them I don't feel like a failure....but I have set a few "life goals" that I'm pretty sure I can live with: keep my blood sugar under control....lose weight (but I won't set an exact number)....be more forgiving (of myself as well as others).....
There are going to be more changes at my work. I interviewed for the job of Supervisor but did not get the job, but I like the person they selected. I'm hoping there will be less chaos in my work life before too much more time passes....we'll see. Dewey has been working hard and facing challenges with the printing world lately but he's grateful to have a job to go to each day (and a wife to come home to so he can vent....)
We got to see Tyler race in the Pinewood Derby recently and afterwards he got his Arrow of Light award in Cub Scouts. He really seems to be into Scouts. It was fun to watch. Grand-niece Aceley turned 3 in late December....what a cutie! She wants to "help" me walk since I have "a big owie on my leg". When I first came home from the hospital though she wouldn't come near me because I was on oxygen and I had "that gross thing" in my nose.
