"Everything in moderation, including moderation."

Much to my disappointment, this quote doesn't hold true with all things. Boyfriend called me yesterday morning to tell me that his co-worker won tickets to Bon Jovi in Central Park for this Sat night. I know these tickets are hard to come by because they are free! So, I was excited for her and even more so when he said that she wants to bring me!!! Another nice gesture from someone who understands that this knee thing sucks. I was floored. If you know me, you HAVE to know how much I LOVE Bon Jovi!!! My first response was, I can't do this. I walked around Target for an hour at my own pace the night before and I felt tired and sore when I got home. Sad, but true. Bf went on to explain they were already calling to find out about special accommodations. It all seemed so enticing. However, after the excitement settled, I realized, there is no way I can do this. Travel into the city, push through 60,000+ people, stand for a lengthy amount of time? As much as I would like to say it could work, I would be miserable and end up ruining the concert for a person who was nice enough to include me. Moderation...sometimes, I hate that word.

So, I called yesterday for the PT to be scheduled and I am waiting for them to get back to me. (Thinking it shouldn't take this long so I am going to call back once I post this.) My knee is looking good. Now, that is all relative. But, I think it looks good! We went to visit Jun's God daughter yesterday and without me even realizing she noticed it, she told her mom all about my boo boo. And why was it so big? And what happened? Little kids are funny about this stuff. I am still working those leg lifts....but still can't bend the knee. I can't wait until I can bend it!! It is so stiff and I just want to stretch it out! Soon enough I suppose. And I am sure it will hurt when I do so maybe I shouldn't rush it!

Best news of all today...Erin comes home tomorrow. It's sooo corny, but things in this house just seem more fun, more upbeat when she is home. I guess any of you who know her can agree. She makes anything silly! So, I am looking forward to the new company and to squeezing my little Maeve!
