The bumps of summer
I hope everyone's summer is going well. I have had a pretty nice one myself. I've kept busy with work until last week when I took at trip to an orthopedic surgeon .I've had knee problems for pretty much what I would call my entire life, but really it's been since my eighth grade year in school. I finally got fed up with the pain, grinding and catching in my knees and I went for a check-up. To make a long story short I had my knee surgery this past Tuesday and I am on my long road to recovery. You never realize how great life is until it's gone. For me it's my leg. I never realized how much I used my legs for things other than walking until now when I can't. It's crazy when you stop and think how true that is about everything in life. When you live at home and your laundry’s done every week and there's usually food in the fridge for you to warm up when you get home, you don't even realize that it doesn't have to be until you move out and it isn’t'. Maybe you should take a few extra seconds to thank that people that make life "good."
As far as my recovery, I'm doing great! I took my first steps without crutches yesterday, and I am on my way to a normal walk before I know it!
