Two years ago today I had surgery to repair my busted knee cap. Time really does fly. We celebrated by going on an 8 mile bike ride.
I would guess I'm about 96% back to normal. This is likely the best I can hope for, and I am NOT complaining. I'll never run up and down stairs again, but would I want to?
I am still awed and humbled by the human body's desire to heal, as best as it can. As best it can.
Eight mile bike ride! That's a true celebration knee surgery success!
ReplyDeleteIt made me very happy.
DeleteThank goodness you healed so well. How about jump rope???
ReplyDeleteI don't think so, ha!
DeleteYay for getting back to normal! It IS amazing how the body bounces back.
ReplyDeleteMagical.
DeleteIt's been two years already. Wow.
ReplyDeleteIt does take longer to heal though I've noticed as I get older. Glad you're able to bike again.
As I get older I notice time goes by faster, too.
DeleteCongrats on a pretty much complete Healing! The Body is indeed Miraculous in it's Desire to do what it Naturally is intended to do, we don't have to tell it to Heal, it wants us to Partner with it to do just that if it possibly can.
ReplyDeleteIt is a wonder.
DeleteI had to go back and read the story of your injury! Wow! You have really done the work to get back your strength. Congrats to you!
ReplyDeleteGreat news! Keep on moving.
ReplyDeleteFancy bandaging and I say that with some feeling. The NHS in Britain is free (just imagine paying for the jaw thing) and thanks for that. However, thirty years ago the company I worked for provided free health insurance and I decided to have my leg veins done, since I'd have had to wait longer for such non-urgent surgery with the NHS Although the procedure was covered certain "extras" were not. Like bandages, f''rinstance. Needless to say these proved to be the most expensive bandages in the northern hemisphere. And not half as pretty as yours. Just a tiny reminder that health insurance is part of the profit-driven society.
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I bet two years ago it would have been hard to imagine that bike ride.
ReplyDeleteThis certainly was a successful operation. I gave my bike away in GA a few months ago as I did not think I could ride it on the Nashville streets, but it would not have been a 8 mile ride anyway – good for you.
ReplyDeleteThe body's ability to heal IS amazing! I just wish mine could heal all the way back to being 21 : )
