Taking Care of Allie

So my friend Allie from Missouri is now living in St. George. She called me one day and asked if I would come down and take care of her when she had another knee surgery. Allie plays basketball and tore her ACL she had this gnarly scar from it and it was hindering her movement so anyway I agreed to go down and be her nurse for a few days. The day after I got there I took her to the "Crack" its this huge boulder that I guess cracked and you can walk through it but it is very thin and at times you can get a little claustrophobic so here are some pictures of our adventures.This is the infamous crack. When Allie saw it She thought I was joking. She didn't think there was anyway we were going through that.

Oh she was so EXCITED


Who knows whats going on here!!

Ok so she got really scared a few times and really claustrophobic but I refused to let her turn around!

This was my scared face!!


She was happy for a little break, there was a little cave that opened the crack up half way through



She was so happy to be out and after it was over she said she loved it and was excited to bring someone else with her

After the crack nothing but smile!!

So now the fun stuff was over and the surgery day was here. We got to the hospital and I made sure I took some pictures of her scar.

Now the nurse was taking a look see at the scar and noticed that Allie had failed to shave any hair around her scar so she decided to take it upon herself and do it for her.So after surgery I went in to her room to see her and she was happy as can be.

On the way home Allie did get a little sick and I had to pull over and let her take care of business but it just so happened that we were taking up the turning lane and just our luck a police officer came up and asked if everything was ok. We had a good laugh after it was all said and done.

The next day I got to take her to physical therapy and we are all very glad to say that her scar looks so much better.

The day I had to leave came quickly and this how I had to leaver her. On her bed with her leg propped doing her homework.
