I'm still here...

Just a note to let everyone that I am still alive...I have had a difficult month physically. I had a bad fall in the hallway in front of my classrroom. My ankle is doing fine. However, my right knee has given me fits. The workman's comp doc x-rayed it and found that I have degenerative arthritis in that knee. I have no cartlige between the kneecap and the femur. That is what is causing the fiery, needly feeling whenever I touch that knee. Since my first fall, I have tripped 3 times and, of course, I ended up landing on that knee. I have also been really fighting the cough, sneezy, sinus crud that is going around and around and around the school. So far, I am losing the fight. :-) I am just trying to do the basics I need to survive everyday and have been going to bed by 9:00 most nights. So there it is...it has been a really sick month! That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
