After two sets of x-rays and an MRI Wednesday morning at Twin County Regional Healthcare in Galax, the collective medical minds condlued I don’t need surgery on my battered left knee.
The knee does, however, need rest. There’s a lingering bone bruise from a fall taken during the ice storm back in December and enough calcium buildup to start a salt mine. Cortizone shots should break up the calcium, for now, but rest will have to wait until the FCHS girls wash out of the basketball playoffs. At 23-0 and playing tonight for the district title, the girls currently rank number one in the state and head into next week’s regionals as the top seed. This could be their year.
And there is the usual order to lose weight — lots of weight. A diet started late fall kinda went by the wayside (as most diets do). Guess I’ll have to get serious…again.
I just finished watching your Blue Ridge Jamboree video, thanks for sharing it online. Eighteen years ago I would drive by the Jamboree on my way home to Patrick County from Virginia Tech. Right in the middle of that drive through the countryside on Route8 you saw this huge crowd spilling out of the Country Store and could hear the music if you slowed down enough. It definitely made an impression. At eighteen I only slowed down, these days I would stop for sure and spend the evening there.
Glad to hear that the health issues are not as bad as originally feared and that you’re returning to CHB.
