Parts

 

Judy has a bad knee.  Her left one.  We’re going to get an MRI on it next week, and probably surgery after that.  She’s getting her right shoulder looked at as well.  She had surgery on that shoulder ten years ago to repair a torn rotator cuff.  It may need more attention.

 

Yesterday we were walking along and Judy suddenly just fell.  Her right foot stayed where it was and everything else went to the ground.  She fell off her ankle.  At the time, I thought she had blown out her left knee all the way, but she blew the ankle instead.

 

Today, the ankle is sore and swollen.  We went to the Island Clinic to get it X-rayed and diagnosed.  Nothing broken.  Second degree sprain.  We got a double-wrap foot bandage and Advil for it.

 

Our charming son-in-law wants to know when a person just gets declared “Totaled”.  I told him not to worry, I kept the receipt.  Now he wants to know if I got the extended warranty.

 

Parts are falling off faster than we can glue them back on.  We need some of those Mister Potatohead parts.  When they fall off, you can just pick them up and stick them back on about where they’re supposed to go.
