Post Physical Therapy

Many of you know that I have undergone lots of knee problems in the past year and a half and have been in and out of doctor appointments, MRI's and therapies. I wanted to give the good news that I have just been successfully discharged from Physical Therapy. This is the second time I have been referred to therapy and I must admit I was very skeptical about the possibility that it would work and that I could come out of it capable of being active again. Well, the physical therapist that I was referred to was exceptional and worked one-on-one with me to accomplish my goals. I had extremely weak leg muscles going into it and failed all of my strength tests. I took another test at the end of my 8 weeks (16 1 1/2 hour sessions) and passed everyone of them. I feel great and stronger than I have felt in a long time. Now I get to embark upon my journey of running again. I will be taking it slow, but nontheless will get to run again soon. The only possible thing that could keep me from running now is the cyst in my knee. Unfortunately, nothing can be done about the cyst at this time. Only time will tell if it will go away on its own. If it doesn't go away and bothers me, I unfortunately will not be able to run, but if it doesn't bother me than I have the go-ahead from my doctor to begin running again. I want to thank everyone who has prayed for me and inquired about my knee. I appreciate it greatly and am encouraged to see how God has worked all things out.
