Some fun things!

Hi everyone, I wanted to write a post a little about me. Last summer my mom had passed away, and I had taken the Greyhound from here in South TX to Pgh Pa,a 2 1/2 day trip. Well about a week after the funeral my dad had a yard sale to raise some extra money for the funeral costs. He asked me to help lift this bookcase that was really tall and made of real wood-not particle board. Anyway, when I lifted my end (to get it out the door) I felt something go wrong with my knee. At first I thought I just wrenched it. Wrong. I came home about two weeks later, my knee hurting like crazy. I never told my dad, I just kept taking Advil hoping it would just go away. It didnt. A month and half later my dad passes away, only this time I got to fly to Pgh. Thank goodness, I couldnt take a bus trip with the way my knee was! Anyway, I had one changeover and wouldnt you know I had to walk clear across to the other side of the terminal? It was agony because I only had so much time! well my visit this time was alot shorter (1 week) but my knee just wouldnt stop hurting. But I tried not to let on anything was wrong, everyone was real upset as it was losing both my parents in the span of 2 months! Anyhow, I get home and figured I would just take it easy, not push walking too much. Meantime, I had told my honey all about it, and he said maybe i just pulled a muscle sometimes it takes awhile to heal. Jump to today, I finally go to my PCP, and I told him about it. He felt my knee and then got this needle and yow did I YELL! It hurt sooooo bad. He asked how I felt after the shot, I said it didnt change anything! He said (get this) I probably have a fracture and I need to get an Xray! so I am going to get that done here really soon, as I cant take going up and down the steps here to my apt. And the pain just doesnt quit. It doesnt help that I gained 12 lbs in 2 months! So anyway, wonder what they will do for knee?  Okay enough about my discomfort-(I hate that word!) You will feel some discomfort...yeah called PAIN!! LOL  Ok, changing subjects!
Today I got two books in the mail(love good mail days) one I ordered from Book Depository, called
"Whisper of Warning" by Laura Griffin. I have seen good reviews and thought I would try one! and the second one, I won- Its called "Heart and Soul" by Maeve Binchy, an author I have seen but havent read yet!! Thank you Mary Beth!
