You guessed it, Carly dislocated her knee again. This time she was hurrying to catch up with me to leave church and it just gave out on her. We tried the whole, ice, elevate and rest, but she was in a lot of pain, so this morning we went to visit her doctor. We took candy since they are always so good to us and a little bit of a bribe for the doctor. We discussed on our way the conversation that we had with him at our last visit. Its been over a year since her surgery and this is the 2nd dislocation since the surgery (6th overall), so we knew he would recommend major surgery. He had a long talk with her and gave her the choice of more of the same therapy or stop prolonging the inevitable and get this over with. A unanimous vote of surgery now and get on into shape for high school softball is the road to take. So in a few weeks, I'll be posting hospital pics and you will all get to take this journey with us. We are nervous about the surgery, but excited about pain meds (just kidding) and getting back into ball.
Wait, the doctor approved softball for her future....he didn't say anything about football.....this kid is really trying my nerves! Gotta love her, though - she's got spirit!
