My So-Called Life

The trip to Oregon was good and restful for my knee.  However, it is not right yet and I now have an appt. with a knee specialist.  The injection went okay and it improved the knee, but it still isn't right, so I am not running the Wasatch Back this year.  I will volunteer for our team and plan on next year.  
I am singing with the Utah Symphony Chorus and the Symphony tomorrow night and Saturday night.  We are presenting "Carmina Burana" and it is going to be good.  Keith Lockhart is an interesting person to observe.  He is very passionate about music.  He is also an odd mixture of intensity and goofiness.  The audience doesn't see the goofy side of him.  We have been in rehearsal nightly this week and my voice is tired.  I think I may have a no talking day tomorrow, to rest for the concert.  I have been fighting a cold this week, and I must say that I have been pleasantly surprised at how well the antioxidants and the Airborne drinks have helped. 
I am looking forward to having my knee normal again someday, so that I can start running or even just walking again.  It hurts to walk more that about 50 ft.  Not good.  Sue
