It was about five weeks ago that the hay bale twine tripped me and made me fall hard on my left hip. All the muscles in my upper front, inner and outer and thigh were ripped. Riding was initially painful and slowly got better. I limped, putting weight on my right leg. Different thigh muscles made themselves known during this time. They all had a voice, a painful left leg voice at different times. A few days ago a pain spot started up on my knee...on the other side of…

Lauren's mother, Apryl,  is my best friend.  On the day that her parents, Apryl, Mike and I were to attend the show, we decided where our evening dining place would be.  Oh my!  I recommended Costentino's Market downtown Kansas City.
