Quick update

I just got back from the agility trial in Colorado. Tika did not do as well as I would have liked. Her team qualified for the national and she had some nice runs on Sunday. I had a great time even though I was a little disappointed.
I also reinjured my ankle this weekend and have had some fun getting it checked. The first doctor I went to on Monday told me, "Well, there's something wrong with your ankle." It was amazing... pure genius on behalf of the doctor. Anyway, long story short, he referred me to an orthopedic specialist who I saw this morning. I now have a brand new brace and orders to go do physical therapy for torn ligaments. Hopefully I will start that within the next week. I will return to the specialist next month and hopefully there will be some improvement... otherwise, I will have to have surgery. I am really hoping to avoid that!
Classes started this week. I'll update about that later. For now, I have to go study.

Darn ankle. What in the heck is going on there?
I hope you don't have to do surgery. Better be careful and let it heal.. that means be careful.. I mean it!!

So sorry to hear about your ankle Kristen. As Shannalee said take it easy and let it heal!! It will be well worth it in the long run. I'm glad to hear that your team qualified for the national. Great news!!
