TO BE OR NOT TO BE

My oldest daughter, S, tore her ACL last year snowboarding. She needs reconstructive surgery, but has put it off. Now, if she wants financial help, she has to have it approved and done by the end of the month. I am not sure if it will happen or not. We all know how fast red tape is cut.

Here she is in her paper shorts for the exam. The surgeon moved her knee joint in ways it shouldn't move. It really was gross.

We are torn (pun intended) about wanting to get it done soon, because we are headed to New York the first of next month and she will have to hobble around on crutches there. But then, on the other hand, to have help paying for it would be VERY nice, so we are just not sure how to feel about the whole thing. Basically we have ZERO control. I guess we'll just wait...
