What Will 2013 Bring?

January of a new year is drawing to a close, so quickly! Last year I had lung surgery & Keith had a quadruple bypass surgery. This year I'm nursing a bad knee. My left knee, suffering with a torn meniscus & arthritis, is defining my daily activities. I have yet to return to an eight hour workday at my part time job because of pain. This week I discussed my health issues with my family doctor. She says my diabetes is my most important concern-since I can't walk 3 miles a day my sugar levels have risen far too high-that I need to call my orthopedic doctor to find out how soon it will be till I can return to walking, or consider arthroscopic surgery. (Amazingly, miraculously, I hadn't gained weight while resting the knee over the holidays!) Also, I had been pondering whether to quit my job. My wonderful manager is retiring & moving to Charlotte. My dear co-worker & assistant manager, Jane, quit in October to become a grandmother/babysitter for a grandchild. The knee has been one more reason to get serious about it. It may be time. I feeling more & more there are other things to concentrate on at this point in my life. Will keep you posted.
