status...

So this left knee of mine (not the right this time around--hopefully this is the last) is giving me some trouble... apparently it got the idea to break during soccer... so my acl is gone.. the doc here in Portland confirmed by the lovely McMurry Maneuver... you should look it up... in fact here is a nice picture:
So... I have loose tendons in both knees..... still....

In the morning I am ok with it.. and I deal

In the afternoon I am sick of my crutches that bruise me..

In the evening I am pissed that this happened.... again

And at night I am sad for everything this ruins ...

Here is the F-er

lo siento todos :(

I hate it when something I planned doesn't work out, it turns me wacko!!

But after the fact, things get back to normal and you will have time again, opportunities do come around again.

You sound very bummed and deservedly so. And maybe you don't want to hear this right now, but it helps me. Sometimes you just have to accept the things you can't change (as in try not to fuss over them) and make what you DO have control over work for you.
And you have A WHOLE LOT to work with sister.

We love you and thank you for keeping us up to date sweetheart.

As Lina says we will have other opportunities to visit with Jared and his family, we can see the Grand Canyon next year. It isn't going anyplace. :) I think it is best we put off the vacation for now. The good news is Reme will be home on the 17th and the three of us will come to pick you up on the 20th. I love you petty girl. Finish up school by concentrating on taking care of yoursel and doing the best job possible. Talk to you tonight. Love, Mom

I love that knee!! It may be broken, but is part of you and it still has many years to work for you!! Don't be sad something better is gonna happen, just can't see it right now. Mom is right, the grand canyon is going nowhere! Maybe you can take a different kind of vacation. Most important..heal thyself with a little help from modern medicine.
By the way Mom was tired at 6:43 I'm certain she meant you were a PRETTY GIRL not a petty girl. Chuckles.
If the crutches are hurting they are not adjusted correctly, you're probably leaning into them real hard. Maybe more padding?
Oh darn, do your best Whit as you usually do and time will make it a little better. Take care of FER!!
Thanks for the compliments on the swim suit, it was my first and only bikini and my Dad MADE me pose for him. I got the worst sunburn of my life in that thing. It was cute though. I wore the cover up most of the time. I've always been a bit shy. Not Mom or Aunt Mel though, I guess it's because they were knockouts!! Me, the girl next door as they say.
Love you
Aunt Dee

You're knees are gorgeous even when they're broken. I am sad that you are sad. This will still be an excellent summer, we will take control as Lina says, and it will be awesome. So that is something to look forward to.
Love Reme

Yes I did mean PRETTY....didn't have my glasses on and so didn't see that I had missed the R....love you very much Whit. We will get things figured out. Love, Mom

Im so sorry to hear about your knee! On the positive side, you only have 2, so you can't do this again! Or if you do you are some sort of miracle worker!!
I hope time passes quickly and you get your surgery soon. Reme is already planning your summer. haha

Whit,

I concur.

Hi Whit
Had a great weekend. Wish you'd been there. I hope the knee is cooperating at least a little. I'm glad you'll be home soon. I'll come see you. Of course I have to go to Hawaii first. Life is tough at times....lol Keep you chin up! Love you, Aunt Dee
