Answered prayers!🙏🙏🙏 I’m so grateful that the root of my meniscus wasn’t torn and the surgeon was able to just trim it and clean the meniscus up. Because the root was attached, instead of wearing a brace for 6 weeks with a rough 6 month recovery, it will be a much easier and quicker recovery. He said I will feel good, so don’t overdo it. I will take it slow and follow the doctor’s orders however. I have physical therapy this Friday! Also he said the arthritis in my knee is very minor!
Outside we're all just ordinary jars of clay... but what if we took the time to look inside?

Quick trip to Alabama to do a little work on the farm…
The farm is so peaceful and beautiful! However, there’s snakes and spiders and Coyotes, oh my! We dropped by to visit Scott’s parents who live on a beautiful farm ten minutes away from the other farm with the camp houses and lakes where people pay to hunt and fish. As we were leaving, I came inches from stepping on a snake 😳🐍, It wasn’t poisonous, but it still freaked me out. I jumped and screamed and took off running pretty fast for someone with a torn meniscus! I guess I’m a city mouse 😂.
After the close brush with the snake, I drove the gator and Scott got out and cleared the brush, changed the batteries in all the cameras, put out deer lick, filled all the deer feeders, and fed the fish in the lakes. He wore snake boots. It’s not his first rodeo, lol.
My favorite thing besides fishing and gator rides, is just sitting on the back porch in the rockers or on the swing. The sunrises and sunsets are beautiful. The mornings are quiet and you can see the fish jumping and beautiful birds flying over the water. The reflection of the sky and the trees in the water is breathtaking. The frogs and crickets really get going some nights. On clear nights you can see a million stars in the sky. And I love all the fruit trees… pears and crabapples and there’s also some pecan trees too!
“It’s shake and bake and we heeeelllped”
I remember the old commercial for shake and bake with these two kids saying that in a country accent! 😂
We found it at the store and tried the crispy buffalo. Omg, it was so yummy!

Went to consult with orthopedic surgeon today
I just left the consultation with the orthopedic surgeon.
I have surgery scheduled for next Tuesday the 22nd. Since it’s a complex tear near the root of the meniscus, doc won’t know until he gets in there how bad it is. He could clean out the torn part of meniscus and I could fully recover in 2 weeks or after he cleans out the tear, if he finds the root is completely detached it will be a longer surgery and a longer harder recovery. Please pray that it’s the easy one and I’m up and around in 2 weeks.

Our ALTA team is in first place!
I unfortunately won’t be able to ply in the playoffs since I tore my meniscus, but I’ll be cheering on my team! We took all 5 lines today!
