Musical Chairs

Who would have thought this was a dangerous game? Well we now know that it can be and was for Ashlee. Her National Junior Honor Society was having a Halloween party (yes I realize this is old news) She was apparently battling for a chair and the next thing she remembers is being on the ground and her knee is hurting really bad. So we see our family doctor who refers us to an orthopedic surgeon. The day we had the appointment with the Orthopedic doctor, the doctor had an emergency appendectomy (anyone ever had that happen?) So we were able to get in to see another Orthopedic in the same building. They did an Mri and luckily there was no real damage. She had stretched and torn some film that covers the kneecap. Sorry I don't know the word. We all thought it sounded like and eye related injury. Something like the retina but not. Anyway, she did three weeks of physical therapy. Unfortnately she wanted to try out for the ninth grade basketball team. But the physical therapist would not give his approval, believe it or not she made the team without trying out. We are still not sure how or why this happened but she was very happy. Her first game will be this Saturday. So hopefully I will get some pictures posted before next year. And remember Musical chairs can be dangerous!!!!!!!
