Things are going okay. I definitely have ups and downs all day long, and I am sure it is mostly the result of medication and sitting on my bum. Most of the time I feel positive and I can't wait to start rehabbing my knee. There are moments, though, where I feel afraid that my rehab won't be good enough or that I won't return to running or triathlon. I just have to push those fears aside and continue to give myself a lot of positive talk.
This is my daily view! The dogs have been great company :)I am a little surprised at how needy I have been post surgery. Since Dave has been working full time every day, I have really felt lonely. By about 1:00pm yesterday, I was in full tears as I could not fix myself lunch and had no one around to help. Dave called with his normal cheery self and I had to explain to him through tears that I need him to check on me more often. Lucky for me, Kathy walked through the door right then with pumpkin pie- followed by Bekah, Laura, Latte, and cheesecake an hour or so later. I also started getting some phone calls and text messages which really cheered me up. Thank you!
I think Bekah understands how much I have really needed help and company because she came back to visit me last night in full Halloween gear. Her husband, Jon, is Brett Michaels, and she is his Rock of Love.
And just as I am writing this Bekah has walked through my door! Thank goodness!!!!!!!! Seriously, she just walked in- and look what she brought over!
Which thing does not belong in this picture?

i'm such a terrible friend...i'll try to come over tomorrow. kert's family has been here all weekend so i haven't been able to get away.
Keep thinking positive! You'll be running, skipping, jumping and all those wonderful things soon :)
how are you doing? thinking of you and hoping that you are healing well....it will all be worth it. and i totally feel your pain. i know what a pain in the ass it is to have that brace on your leg because i know how much you actually have to bend your knee to do simple everyday activities. but, this too shall pass.
sending some healing vibes your way!!!!

Ooh I want to read that primal blueprint book, and yes I would read it while eating cheesecake or eating twizzlers. I am not much for sour patch, sorry, more for you!
Hang in there, stay in the moment and dont worry about the what if's...things will work out.
