April 22nd was a red letter day! I had my LAST physical therapy appointment! The PT measured, timed, evaluated - then she cut me loose. I told her I bet she would be glad to see the last of me! But she hugged me twice and told me that she was proud of me, that I worked hard and never gave up. And that I could call her any time if I had trouble. That felt good!
I mean, REALLY GOOD!
I might still have stiffness and soreness. Might not run a marathon or sprint up the stairs any time soon. But every day I notice a tiny bit more improvement than the day before. And I know that I will continue on with my exercises and walking, and I will get braver as each week passes. I will get my bike and start riding, and when the pool opens I can go do laps with my kickboard. Eventually the stairs won't be a problem for me. Everything will fall into place, and by November, I can do Turkey Trot. The circle will be complete - Fall to Fall. Healed.
Thanks be to God.
