Murray Family Renunion!

4th of July

I just wanted to post these pictures because I think they are so cute! Brad, Jana, Justice, Talon, and Cardon slept over on July 3rd. So the morning of the 4th of July, Corey, Brad, and Justice got up and went fishing. We got Justice this fishing pole for his Birthday. That is what he told me he wanted, only he wanted a Brown one, but we couldn't find a brown one, so he settled for blue. They only caught these small fish and they would have just thrown them back, but Justice needed to show me and Jana. Jana and I just hung out at home with the babies and had a good time talking. Later that night we went to Pleasant Grove to watch the fire works. It was a fun 4th of July!

Knee Surgery!

On June 24th, I had bilateral (both) knee surgery! Turns out I was born with crooked knee caps! I tried to take care of it 10 years ago, but they told me that there was nothing they could do for me because it would just make things worse. I was just supposed to avoid stairs and deep bending of the knees and when they were finally all wore out and I was older, I could look forward to 2 total knee replacements. Well, I started working at the Heber Valley Medical Center in January and in March I decided to leave early one day, because Corey & I wanted to take our last snowmobile ride for the season. I wrecked on my snowmobile into a river and slammed my knees really hard. I actually thought that I had crushed them both, because Corey had to pull me up the river bank. Well, turns out I could still walk, but in a lot of pain. So a couple of months later, at work, I decided to ask a Dr. Cooley's P.A. about my knee pain. He told me that I was given some bad information and that they would be able to fix my knees. When I went to my appointment, I was told that I tore my Meniscus in the snowmobile accident, that is why I was having more pain. Dr. Cooley fixed my knees, he did Lateral Releases and Debridements(Cleaned out the damaged cartilage) on both knees. And here I am today. I have finished Physical Therapy. I was surprised to be able to lift weight and bend my knees without all the clicking and grinding. I am so excited and I already feel better! Thanks Dr. Cooley & Crew! My Mom, Jana & Justice were at the Hospital during my surgery and when I came out Justice was concerned because all I could do was cry. When he and Jana came to take me to my 1 week appointment he kept asking if I was going to cry. He is so cute! Corey & Roxy took really good care of me. Roxy literally never left my side. She slept on my chest for 2 weeks. Corey made sure that I never ran out of ice in my Gameready ice machine. He was so good to keep the house clean and make dinner. I love him so much! Also a big thanks to the great neighbors who brought in dinner! I appreciate EVERYONES help!
