Thursday after the kids were at school & Al at work, I had my appointment with Al's surgeon, the orthopedic doctor, and he told me no surgery for my knee. that was a relief. but he said it's because my knee is in bad shape as it is and even if he put 100 stitches in my meniscus it wouldn't heal... So just more PT and being smart and careful with my knee. knowing a full knee replacement is in my future somewhere. that night trev had a football game at 6pm.

friday i worked out at 9am and got to have lunch with jodi since matt was back from work in time for her to sneak out for a bit.

sunday we all went over to matt & jodi's house for soup and bloody mary's and to watch football.

monday Al had PT and an appointment with his surgeon for followup and all is going well. i worked at jodi's in the morning and did payroll in the afternoon.

wednesday Oct 25 I worked out for the first time since tearing my meniscus and just didn't do any leg stuff. i had to cancel my PT since they wanted to know what was going on with my knee before we continued.

thursday Al had to be at work at 8am for a training. i worked out at 9am. we went to our first trunk or treat at the baseball park. it was rainy but we had fun and saw some friends!

friday Al had another appointment in teh morning. i worked out at 9am and was able to start doing leg stuff again. i started working on raking leaves and cleaning up the gardens. we had brooklyn and cam here after school while their parents went to the gym.

saturday mom came down. in the afternoon, we went to 2 trunk or treats; one at matt & jodi's church and another at a church near there. we had fun and the kids got so much candy. on the way home, we stopped at a small park by the river to enjoy the beautiful leaves with nana! that night, Al and i went up to his co-workers halloween party up near bloomer. we had fun and stayed until 1030. it did snow a little bit on the way up there.

sunday i worked out at 9am. then we cleaned the house together before going over to matt & jodi's for teh viking packer game. we ended up staying late because badger volleyball was on tv right after the football game (the vikings won!) i helped matt rake their yard in between.

monday Al had PT then work, kids had school, i worked at jodi's in the morning then payroll in the afternoon. that night we did a second round of pumpkin carving since our first ones got all moldy from the warm weather. the kids loved it and did great; we also baked some pumpkin seeds. monday night it snowed; we got about 3 inches.

tuesday was halloween. that morning i had to dig out snow pants and boots for the kids. kids had a little fall party at school, we had a little party at jodi's for the daycare kids. after school, we went over to matt & jodi's since matt was giving out sports cards, and did a couple of blocks trick or treating with jake, kassie, carsyn and kinsley while matt handed out stuff at their house and while they waited for jodi to get home from volleyball. then we came back home, hit our couple neighbors, before coming back home for the kids to pass out candy and have supper. the kids had fun and got tons of candy.
