HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY everyone,, I am soooooooo sorry its been forever OMG I have soooooo much news,, for 1 I GOT MARRIED!!!! Me and Elizabeth went on a cruise in july and got married in mexico july 11th,, it was amazing, the captain from the ship did the ceremony, it was stunning,, I do have pictures and all but I will have to figure out how to post on this new and improved ohla, it looks amazing,, 2) I had knee surgery,, after months of repeated test, trying different shots and meds,, I finally found a amazing ortho surgeron in convington,,, He went in to do a scope of my knee and ended up finding devasting news,, I have ABSOLUTLY NOOOO cartilage in my right knee, hence the mofo horrible pains I was having and clicking noises I was hearing,, he said in the 30years he's been in business he has never seen someone's knee sooo bad even older people,, He did a new surgery they are doing on all the football and basketball players called, MICRO FRACTURE surgery,, it sounds really nasty,, he drilled about a dozen holes in my top and bottom bones in my knee and let the bone marrow and blood bleed out and that will somewhat somehow form a artifical cartilage for a little while,, he said it normally last about 2-3 years if it even works, theres only a 75% change, great huh? BUT since my knee was worse then he has ever seen and because I am so young he said it will only last 1-2 years if that , and then I will either need to get it done again or we will need to do a knee replacement , which again will only last about 10years due to my age and activity and that will need to be redone,, The DEVASTING news was I can no longer be a paramedic ,, or anything on my feet for that matter, he said I would be crazy and stupid if I did anything on my feet,, so I have to find a desk job,, and NO NO NO that is soooo not me,, so I have been crushed and have to go back to school for something??  ON the good side ,, my sister is pregnant and having her baby next tuesday I am soo excited I could pee on myself,, we haven't had a baby around in like 15years,,me and eliz are actually talking about starting a family of our own and I am thrilled about that, but that will have to wait til my knee heals and I get a stable job,, I am on crutches for 8 weeks ,.non weight baring and I am going freakin CRAZY,, I hate crutches,,,, its miserable,,  TINA I am sooooooooo excited you had your baby thats wonderful, hope your doing great,, everyone on here is soo new I don't recongnize too many people, but I wish you all the best of luck!!

Whether you think you can or think you can't , YOUR RIGHT!
