While the kids got to have fun in the sun in St. George, TD and I got to sit in a hospital all weekend. TD has had problems with his knees for a while so he decided to finally have a scope to clean them up. We went into the hospital for the "simple" procedure and came out with 4 weeks on crutches and 4 months of no activity, only walking. Not quite what we were planning on. The Doctor got going on his knee and said it was a lot worse than he was expecting. TD had a huge bone spur that was tearing up the cartilage in his knee and he had built up scar tissue that was keeping him from straightening out his leg all the way. Long story short..... TD will be out of commission for a while. It was a good thing that we got it fixed now though and he will be able to surf by the beginning of August so... not a total loss of summer :) He also had a hard time coming out of the anesthesia, most people wake up and are out of there in around 20 minutes... it took TD 3 hours. TD said they gave him the "elephant" dose of medication. But, we are home now and he is doing great.
