Off to the Beach

We’re spending a week at Surfside Beach this year, and even with my bum knee I’m enjoying it. The knee means I’m not going out onto the sand, even to limp along looking for shells. Too much of a chance that I will twist the knee in the shifting dunes getting to the hard packed stuff. However, I can lounge on the sofa with a view of the beach, or I can hobble onto the porch and sit in a rocking chair with my feet up on the stool. We’re only a little way away from the pier, so we might drive down there one evening and see what’s up.

The weather has been nice all week, with only a little rain Sunday afternoon. I’m using the time to rest my knee and hopefully heal up a bit. My MRI is coming up Tuesday, then I’ll see the orthopedic specialist the first week in October, so we’ll see what happens then.

Alas, the week is going by very quickly, as it always does on vacation. It’s already Wednesday! We avoided a lot of grocery buying this year and ordered “Hello Fresh” delivered to the house, so we’ve been eating very well (and they’re healthy meals, so we’re not lounging around in a food coma afterwards). The only problem is that not all of us were able to come this year–maybe next time!
