@Arttie I think that is awesome to walk them!!! So many people do around here. I will have to see where the road takes me. I am letting God take over..lol. Right now I am very pleased with what I am doing. Went back to PT to thank them for everything today. I am going to miss that great bunch of...
Thank you! I am pleased with the progress and know now I made the right decision :)
Yes..I have see the very young ones in the ER and they can be quite violent. Our mental health system is soooo broken. I can't deal with the ER anymore. Hopefully on to new adventures!
8 weeks post op today! I went for my 8 week check up yesterday and the doctor and PA were very happy with my progress. I was all smiles in their office! I am feeling great! I don't have anymore pain and I am back at the gym. No running for me for a very long time, but I am making friends with...
@SusieShoes Hi Susie! I had t have a stress echo done 5 days before my surgery. My PCP thought there were changes to my EKG (it ended up being bad lead placement). I had to see a cardiologist and then the echo. I prayed it will all be fine and it was . It ended up being a blessing because my...
@Joyfull61 Thank you so much for your post. It gives me hope. I will probably never long distance run again due to being afraid to wear out the knee. But if I could just get out there again one day at all my beautiful places to be outside and run I would be happy. I knew it would be a long...

Thank you everyone for your kind words and sharing your stories. I just felt so alone being an athlete.
I would like to add to my story that I am a recovering alcoholic for 10.5 years. Running and working out has been a Godsend to me. Many people in recovery pick up running and cycling to get...
