Older and TriPawd

So the orthopedist thinks I tore the miniscus in my left knee.  Ugh.  It happened at work as I was going down the stairs and WOW did it ever hurt.  I had been having trouble with that knee for a while and it finally gave up on me.

Tai was with me – I was stuck on the second floor landing and she was in the third floor office.  What a night – I was in so much pain, my co-worker insisted on calling an ambulance (how embarrassing) because I could not make it down the stairs.  My sister and her husband were hugely helpful in getting me home and now Tai is at my sister’s house since I didn’t feel comfortable taking her out on my own tripod of crutches and one leg.

I have a new appreciation as to how well Tai has adapted.  Our Tripawds really do amaze us.  She’s such a little thing but – as you all told me – adapted really well.   Since I am managing OK now with minimal pain, Tai will come home this weekend – I can’t wait, the house is so quiet!  I will try to work out how do to PT with her – I really want to keep it up but getting down on the floor with her is out of the question.  I could try putting her on the couch.   We will get it done but not rush it.
