Well I made it through last week and this week is much better. Had a good weekend, even mowed the lawn a bit. It's like someone flipped a switch and made it all better. Physical therapy is going well and this Friday I find out when I can get back to riding the 4 wheeler and golfing.

I'm doing everything the physical therapist tells me to do. I want to be sure I'm better than I was before. I've heard a lot about folks that have this done then suffer afterwards and feel it was a waste. Don't wanna be that guy. So far so good once the pain went away. Hard to believe exercises that were easy before are so hard to do now. Really have to re-train the quad muscles!

The wife wishes she were you, it has been over 6 weeks, and she is waiting to go see her surgeon again, and she is taking a ball peen hammer, she says he is gonna find out what pain is all about. LOL
She is doing PT for an hour a day, and an hour in the pool. I would like to have a few words with the doc over the fact that we get about two hours sleep at a time.
