stuff i tell my sister

I had hoped this day would slip by without a thought of four years ago.  But then I had a dream nightmare two nights ago.  A little reminder that it’s still in my brain.  My post from last year better explains it.  Three Years Ago Today.

As I write this, I’m still not so sure I should be posting it.  Once it’s “out there”, if there was ever a thought of our normalcy, it’s about to be forever gone.  Here goes…..

After my car accident, surgery was required on my knee.  It was minor and outpatient, but still not something I would want to repeat.   Our kids lived a couple of hours away and were concerned.  My youngest called and asked that we send a picture. He had experienced the same surgery and knew what to expect.  If you’ve ever had a torn meniscus, you know there is no “picture”.  No scars to show off once it heals.  Boring.

But we were bored that evening…sooooo, with hubby on board, we had a little fun.   Add a little eyeliner and catsup and our cell phone photos became much more interesting.  So did the reaction.

The last picture, sent a few minutes later, told the tale.  And in case you were curious….it was my “good” knee that we adjusted.

The kids eventually spoke to us again.  But for a moment, my son was about to get a certain surgeon on the line!  I love that he loves me that much.  Still.

Now for my disclaimer…..I love our pups, but I do not normally let them lick me.  Meds may have been a factor!  😉  Have a super weekend.  Laugh with someone today.  I think it truly is the best medicine!  ♥

While on the subject of automobile accidents.  I know that when a person “witnesses” an accident, it can turn into a huge undertaking for them.  But I have been in two accidents and both times, if not for the gracious witnesses, my ordeals would have been much more difficult.  If you witness it, stay and talk to the officers if at all possible. You would want the same if the tables were turned.
