Well, fast forward 5 weeks and here we are. I have now been release from my brace/cast. Rehab is starting and I feel pretty good. The last 5 weeks have been a good lesson in humility. I have had to deal with limited mobility which has given me some insight to how people with physical handicaps must feel. I even had to get someone to help put on my socks and take them off. I am now down about 28 pounds. It feels really good.
The support of my family through this has been amazing. I give them many, many thanks. Rehab has just started and is starting well. My biggest issue now is slowing myself down. The brace slowed me down. Now, I must slow me down. This is much harder. I want to start right back at full speed. Like I said, I did pretty well yesterday with my official work. Then last night it started raining and I had to go out to clean out the french drain so the driveway wouldn't flood. This put a bit too much stress on my knee as evidenced by the knee pain this morning. Not a lot of pain but enough to where I will take it easy today.
Onward we move. School is almost done. Yeah!!
