I CAN WALK

I just wanted to thank everyone for your thoughts and prayers as I have been recovering from knee surgery. In case you were hiding under a rock the last two months I had ACL and Microfracture surgery on my left knee on December 10th. My orthopedic said I could not put any weight on my left leg for eight weeks and I also had to use cructhes and wear a brace for those eight weeks. As if thats not bad enough, I also had to put my knee in a CPM Machine for eight hours a day for those eight weeks. Well guess what, those eight weeks are now over and I saw the orthopedic today. He said everything looks good, I just need to work on my extention a little bit more as my leg will not go completley straight. Good news is he said I could get rid of the crutches and the brace and said I could begin walking!!!!! I have no pain right now it just feels really weird and weak. He said it would be about two weeks before it would start feeling normal again as I gain strength in the leg. I need to give Jenny a big thank you and I love you as she has taken good care of me and been a huge help as I have been recovering. The timing has worked at great as I now will be walking when our precious Ashlyn Rose gets here! Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers and hopefully I will be able to return to full duty by July or August.
