My husband and I went to Cedar Point
Amusement Park with my son and his family last Saturday. Whil walking throught the park I tripped and fell and landed on my 6 year old grandson. My first thought was that I had seriously injured him but he jumped up crying with just a few scrapes. I, on the otherhand, was not so lucky. When I tried to stand I found that I had broken my kneecap completely in half. After being taken to a local hospital I was transported to our local hospital where I had surgery on Monday. All is going well, but I am looking at months of recuperation and rehab. We are going to the ocean in two weeks and the doctor has given me permission to go but it is not going to be the fun trip I was anticipating. So please pray for me as I heal and thank God that my grandson was not hurt.

Yikes! Those amusement parks are dangerous! :0

Get well soon.

Praying for a complete, and quick recovery.

I hope you came up with one whopper of a story to tell me about your injury. I know I would.

Good Luck RtoR!

That's terrible! Hope all goes well with your recovery - but look at the beach trip this way - you get to sit on the deck and let everyone wait on you for a change!

Ouch! Sorry to hear about your accident. Prayers for a quick healing. I that you get to enjoy your vacation more than you think now.

Oh, RtoR, how awful. I am praying for quick healing and a pleasant vacation, despite the circumstances. As walden pointed out, it's time for others to wait on you hand and foot!

I've known several people with this type of break lately! Prayers for quick healing. So glad your grandson is OK.

Poor thing! I hope you have a speedy recovery, and a quick return to the roller coasters!

Prayers of course, and you did a good job of protecting the grandson, probably at the cost of the kneecap. Well done on that.
Speedy recovery to you!!

Thanks everyone. Each day get easier but with the knee totally immobilized eveything is a challenge.

Wow RtoR. That sounds incredibly painful. Wishing you a quick road to recovery.

Wishing you more prayers for a smooth recovery.

We are getring ready to head out for North Crolina for our vacation. Please think of me as I travel for 12 hours with a leg that cannot bend and a walker.

Good luck to you, be careful!

Had a great time and made it home safely.

Bravo!

Yay!

Happy you had a successfull vacation!!

How's the recovery coming?

2 more weeks with the knee immobilzed and then 6 week with the brace but with movement allowed nad then physical therapy. But I am able to walk by myelf now inside the house and can do a lot more than I could initially so that helps. Thanks for asking.

Sounds like things are going very well in the land of Oz.

Keep it up!

My brace now has 40 degress of motion and I start physical therapy on Monday. I am a little bit apprehensive about that. I ma have to stock up on pain pills.

Hang in there. Sending prayers that it won't be so bad that you can't handle it!

Little successes make for a big one. Hang in there kiddo!

They don't intentionally try to make you hurt in PT, but I was grateful for my pain pills
