moving forward
Of course I haven’t been doing any moving as of yet, but I feel as if I am ready mentally for the challenge. The knee procedure seemed to go very well and the doctor was able to remove two pieces of floating cartilage and scrape and smooth out the problem area of cartilage and leave me with a small gap that hopefully should not cause a problem in the next couple of months. The last couple of weeks have been extremely trying but on the whole I’m feeling motivated and excited for what lies ahead. I really just can’t wait to start doing something. Being forced to lie down all day and not do anything might seem like a grand idea, but in reality it’s not. Even my blogging has suffered…my life tends to have enough monotony as it is, but these last few days I couldn’t even bring myself to update you on my exciting life of T.V. watching and sleeping because I knew living it was boring enough so typing it out would have not enriched either of our lives. I would have felt utterly responsible for putting people to sleep while at the computer.
The bright spot of the last couple of weeks, however, has been the quality time I have been fortunate enough to spend with some of my closest friends. I am blessed…SO BLESSED…to have the amazing friends that I do. Friends that will pause their busy lives to come out to Arizona and be with me without me having to even ask. And go out to eat and consume 10,000 calories in a single sitting. Not to mention the friends and those of you I might not even know personally who continue to send uplifting words and support (and chocolate!!!). Y’all know how to make a girl feel special!
So even though today will be filled with more rotting of the brain (perhaps season 2 of Prison Break since we finished season 1 in a days time), I am in good spirits overall and I have many of you to thank. I hope to be back in action soon and blogging about all of it. In the meantime, if you missed your favorite T.V. show and need to know what happened, send all inquiries my way

Why not cross train?

I realize you haven't been able to run/jump but you didn't mention any cross training. Did you lift, arm-bike, do core work, etc. during this down time?

a little...but there is only so much you can do that doesn't use your knee. i was never big on upper body lifting so i did more than what i did in the past i suppose. i tried to swim a few times just using my upper body mostly but i quickly found out that i am not that good of a swimmer at all.

i need you to stay postive too! This was just a minor setback. It's just God setting you up for him to use you. What better way to show his power than for you to come back and make the team. There will be doubters because you had the surgery, but one you do everyone will see just how powerful God is! I hope that didn't sound too preachy, just the truth.
