Puck Cancer.

For the 4th year in a row, my hockey team played in the "Puck Cancer" senior womens hockey tourney this past weekend, and WE WON! It was a blast!


One thing that was different this year is that I got injured for the first time in my hockey "career". I hyper-extended my left knee and landed on the ice with my knee making a loud and painful popping sound. The good news is that there was only 54 seconds left in the championship game, so I really didn't miss out on any ice time. Bad news is that I'm in a full leg immobilizer and need an MRI tonight. The doctor thinks I either tore my MCL or damaged my medial meniscus. So, I've got THAT going for me. Should be quite an adventure with dental school starting a week from today. I can't wait to hobble from Union Station to the pink line "L" stop 4 blocks away for my commute. But hey, did I mention that WE WON the tourney!!

Yikes! Sorry to hear that you hurt your knee. One the bright side, the walker you'll be using will really help you fit in with the young graduate students. ;o)

Sorry to hear about your knee! That stinks! Good thing you have my godson looking out for yoju. He will be a great helper :)

Congrats on the tourney! You took a great picture despite your pain. It was great seeing you all. Next time I'll try to visit without the severe weather. I'm sorry we didn't get a multi-generation picture. What were we thinking?

Love, Deb

YeeHah! Go Talons!
I see you had to bolster your defense with Sam and Brit since I couldn't play for you : )
Glad you got some hardware. Feels good, eh?

Love, Renee
