I had a fun day.

I was in a car accident around 1 AM. (Wasn’t my fault.) Fortunately no one was hurt, but I had to have my car towed.

I slipped getting out of the tow truck and fell squarely on my right knee. Now it’s time for the ambulance and the emergency room. I thought I had dislocated my knee, but it turns out I have a fractured patella, which according to the doctor is better (relatively speaking) than a dislocated knee, because that can involve ligament damage, etc. And I have a nice, clean break. Two pieces. Apparently some people come in with fractured kneecaps that look like jigsaw puzzles.

Anyway, I don’t have a car to drive and even if I did I can’t drive because my right leg is in an immobilizer. Fortunately, there’s not a lot of pain.

More to come.

Stay healthy and safe.

Mom and I spent part of the day in Lincoln and Garrard Counties visiting cemeteries looking for ancestors. My maternal grandmother’s maiden name is Kennedy. Her father is buried at Buffalo Springs Cemetery in Lincoln County. I haven’t found burial records for my second, third, and fourth great grandfathers, but my fifth great grandfather James Kennedy Sr. (1735-1825) is buried at Old Paint Lick Cemetery in Garrard County. One of his sons was Thomas C. Kennedy, a Revolutionary War veteran who owned property in the area. Harriet Beecher Stowe visited his home while gathering material for Uncle Tom’s Cabin.

Stay healthy and safe.
