Our tree is decorated

December - snow and bare trees

Christmas is coming!

We are still home in Brantford and have decorated our tree and put up the decorations. Last year we were in our RV so this is the first Christmas in this new townhouse and we must decide where to put our lights and tinsel. There is a bit of snow on the deck and all the leaves are off the trees. Derek had surgery on December 4 to fix the torn meniscus in his knee. While they were looking in his joint with the arthroscope, they found that he had also completely torn his ACL! This means that he must have another surgery to reconstruct this important ligament that keeps his knee stable. First he must heal from the recent surgery, strengthen the surrounding muscles, get a made to measure brace and book the surgery with another specialized surgeon. This means more weeks of waiting, so we have decided to leave for Florida with the RV right after Christmas and return in mid Feb after Greg and Tara's baby is born, for more followup.
