Out of the blue, Suzanne felt a pop in her right knee. It was Easter Sunday evening and she and Abigail, who is almost 14, were dancing. Along with the noise came the pain. Her knee hurt a lot. She knew right off that this was not a good thing. After a trip to the emergency room where they gave her a brace, followed the next day by a visit to the orthopedic doctor and then an MRI, Suzanne is hobbling around on crutches, trying to do her best. On Wednesday, she will meet with the doctor to determine what she did, then do whatever needs to be done to fix it. She does not have time for bad knees.
It must have been a funny scene in the grocery store this afternoon. Suzanne was using a motorized basket while Sarah accompanied her to pick up the objects to be purchased and use her own cart.. Suzanne can not use the crutches plus push the cart so she has taken to using the motorized baskets loved by the very old... and the obese...and Suzanne. The problem today was that the motor stopped working when it was on the far side of the store so Sarah pushed the motorized cart with her own basket, which Sarah said was very difficult to do. They finally got home and regaled us with their stories. It took twice as long to shop today as normal. I am sure that will be the norm until Suzanne gets full use of her knee. At the moment, she is on crutches and has quite a lot of discomfort, which with a full schedule is not good. Those old knees really are a weak part of the body.
