Since I last wrote, surprisingly little has changed. I had been making some steady progress with my leg to the point where my physical therapist, Rebecca, had me jogging on the treadmill. It felt good enough that she said I could and should jog the following day on my own. Given my excitement, I followed her instructions and jogged a little at the gym, only to discover that I could no longer walk at the end of my exercise. Since then, the injury seems to be neither progressing or regressing. Of course, there was a rather major setback after I walked the Hot Chocolate 5K this weekend with my college roomie, Lizz (pictured below - Lizz's sister, Lizz, and me) . Hours after the race, I suddenly couldn't lift my leg. Same old same old.
I'm hoping that I'll be fully healed by Thanksgiving, but I'm having my doubts. Rebecca has confidence that I'll be ready to go by December 4 and even encouraged me to sign up for the Jingle Bell 5K Run/Walk, a charity fundraiser for arthritis. If you're interested, please feel free to make a donation at http://jinglebellchampaign.kintera.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=484804&lis=1&kntae484804=ADDF5E87CC2242778620352ABF164D0D&supId=344819835.
Otherwise, not much else is going on recently. Hope to have more news (and better news) soon.
Besito,
A
