Day 53......We welcome 3rd session, and a knee brace!!

So its been an interesting few days!!! We had an amazing end to session 2, Parent's Weekend went really well, the weather stayed nice and the shows all went off really well (well except for a small incident where a child who forgot his lines said the f-word off stage before his mic had been turned off :/ but we glossed over that....!) It was really sad saying goodbye to these kids and unlike with first session the bunk didnt seem peaceful and quiet, it seemed a bit miserable and sad :( But whatever it was a quiet lie in was had by all, and we got up ready to face the session 3 kids!! Who are now all here and pretty much settled in, the shows are decided and I find out which pits Im in on Saturday from Annie, Once Upon A Mattress, Fame, Into The Woods and Urinetown. Fingers crossed for Fame, that would be amazing!!

In a side story, last Thursday whilst doing some ballet to try and get my skills I used to have back, my bad knee decided to give out in protest. It had fluid under it so was compressed and iced to try to get rid of it and was in an attractive bandage. Nothing major though and all was fine, until an ice cream fight at the ice cream social between some counsellors got MAJORLY out of hand and I twisted it. Lots of ice and painkillers and a short but fun trip to the ER later and Ive chipped a bone and done something to the ligaments down the side of my knee and possibly to the miniscus underneath my kneecap!! Fun times all round!! I was on a very fun drug called Vicodin for 2 days, which made me unconcious every time I took it, not good seeing as I cant teach the flute whilst asleep! Luckily I got a trip to the orthopedic guy who works on the US Olympic team today and he took it out of its brace and referred me to physio, so hopefully in a week or so I should be back to normal. Everybody cross your fingers, coz camp is no place for crutches, and all my travelling is booked :/ I informed Mum and Dad by phone of this mishap, and have heard all the sarcastic comments you can throw at me, and Im sorry if I havent rang you and told you and this is how you're finding out but I only have so much phone credit :/ At least you know now :)

I think this is all my news for now, today was my day off and it was spent going to the doctors (who knew such a place existed in the randoms of New York state?!) so I have no exciting news from that! Will post more news when I have it, hope everyones well, and Ill try to talk to you all before I leave camp. Which is 2 weeks Monday, damn how time flies!!!
