I had to have my knee repaired.  Ouch!  Sometimes I have to remember that I am not 12 any more….but, wait…I DO believe that I am 12, at least at heart, and in spirit  The surgeon was very happy with the procedure.   I am up and rambling about, slowly, but my steps are getting longer and that is a good sign. Sun bright and tempting here, but I have to be patient for a few days then back to the lake, the eagles and comfortable walking!  And right back to being my 12 year old – long into several decades – self.

peace and grace and on the mend,

doc ellen,
the photo is my cat Grayced doing his best to keep my healing knee warm

I was waiting for the clean-up volunteers from the Jordan Lake Wildlife Cam group when I had a visitor.
Wouldn’t you know, I had put my camera down to rest my arm when this face appeared in the water.
I weighed just watching or risking spooking the animal if I picked up my camera.
The river otter was as curious about me as I was about him and he swam in and looked me over.

It was 4 years ago today that I found Grayced at the lake.
Starved, scared, wounded.
This is Grayced last night in just about his favorite place
between me and my desk and my keyboard.
Just thought I’d share my joy in having him as a companion.
