It's good to hear your stories, itself and cyanemi! Thanks.

I have most of my mobility back now, and life is a matter of "mustn't do [x]" (where x = bend over, walk fast, reach high, ...) rather than "[x] is physically impossible." I don't need to remind myself, since anything forbidden causes immediate pain, but sometimes it's tempting to squat and reach down to the floor and pick up my glasses rather than wait until someone in the house has a free moment. My leg's quite a bit better and I'm no longer afraid of unpredictable jolts of pain sending me to the floor.

Best of all is being able to roll over in bed without feeling like I'm about to die.

I went to watch a cyclocross race today -- my first big outing. I'd really hoped to race this year, but watching was still enjoyable. Being out in fresh air is such a welcome change from a stuffy bedroom.
