Adversity - Or How Come we can't just have it Calm?

So far, while 2020 was so very Globally, vastly, unimaginable, this year 2021 has been filled with various min-crisis situations that have made this year more of a challenge than I would like.

While I am still recovering from my hairline fracture on my ankle, we have had a couple of other things happen:

A Dominoes pizza car hit Chewy's car (while he and Michael were driving to a comic book store).  Everyone is fine--but the car is totaled.  So...we are dealing with that mess of paperwork, car buying, etc.

Before then, Chewy had his teeth extraction, but the mold for his bridges did not come in and were mis-processed...so, he has spent the last two weeks having mushy foods...  Hopefully he will be getting his new teeth on Monday.

And then there is Willow.  Willow fell (probably tripping over the threshold between the kitchen and the living room) and she fell hard and dislocated her knee and fracturing the patella.  She had an MRI and the results came in yesterday.  She pulled the tendon, she not only fractured, but a piece broke off and is floating in the knee area, thus creating swelling and all around not happiness with the tendon.  So--this Friday, Willow is going to have a 3 hour out-patient surgery.  The Doctor will be going into the knee with a scope and she will retrieve the piece and (hopefully) pin it to the patella (with degradable pins).  

So...my baby is going to have surgery.  This year will definitely stand out--and it isn't even June yet!
