My day-early 50th birthday gift came compliments of the Atlantic Ocean.

As I worked my way out through the chilly surf yesterday, a small wave hit me square in the knee. It is fubar. Going to the ER on my 50th birthday!

However, I am having the time of my life with my sisters and Mrs. V. here in Hollywood, Florida.

2. thank you, Wind

ATC I am happy today. Wish I could go back into the ocean today with my sisters, but I am at least determined to share their cabana. It's only a few steps across the sand.

3. travel those few steps very carefully, the sand is soft there.

4. Happy Birthday!

Hope the ER docs give you some good pain meds for that knee... sorry to hear about the injury while on vacation. Sucks! Hope you can enjoy the rest of the trip nonetheless.

5. Happy Bday, Bertha!

A Pacific sand dune pretty much killed my knee last week so I feel your pain (literally!)

I am more beat up and damaged from my "vacation" than I was before I left. sigh

6. Oh noes! So sorry to hear that (but the term fubar always cracks me up)

Happy Birthday, dearest friend

So happy to hear you're having a blast with your sisters!

And I hope your knee will be OK.
