My Doctors tell me I am right on schedule for which I am very grateful. It's been four months since surgery and I have come a long way, even though at times it doesn't seem like it.
By the way, I have been neglectful in not thanking the amazing doctors and nurses at the "U". They could not be any better. They become a second family. Dr. Gomez, in surgery, Dr. Cahill, Dr. Ramon, Kelly, Tauna in Clinic, Laurie Brewster, Molly, Spence in Clinical Trials, Merico, Rachelle, Bill in therapy, and the kind and caring nurses who cared for me; always with a smile and a ton of patience. I can't say enough positive things about them all.
I am "graduating" from physical therapy this week eliminating my need to travel to the hospital 3-4 times a week which should simplify my life a little. I plan on continuing therapy at the Treehouse Gymn in Draper where there are a bunch of great people and friends. I will miss those at the "U" but you can bet I will keep in touch and always look for ways to help others with the disease and try to help in finding a cure.
I tried to see if I could do a light jog yesterday; couldn't even get two steps in and darn near fell over. I felt like I was on to short stilts with no lift at all. That's O-K because it will come in time with effort. I am thankful for what I have so far and the time to improve. Life is good!
When something like this happens, it is very humbling to see how many friends one has. Literally it brings tears to my eyes when I think about it. Thanks for being my friend!
