(((Pax))) I hear you about missing your old badass self but glad to hear you've a new doc who is getting you what you need. And the new badass you will indeed be badass - even if different :-)

Kitsune - it's been a long time, hope all is well!

So lucky you met the new doc! You can be a bad *** in PT. From what I hear, most people are not like the people on this thread when following through with their PT stuff. In fact, I sent a friend to my PT, after a broken shoulder, and she laughed when I asked her how her exercises were going at home. We see it as an opportunity, and others see it as a punishment.

Thanks all. Trying to figure out the insurance stuff now, but definitely ready to get some function back!

My PT once handed me a printout with a few new exercises and said, "Here. I'm giving you these because I know you'll do them." He was a personal trainer as well as a physical therapist, so I was always asking him for more exercises to incorporate into my workouts. I liked going to PT.

Learned something new today, checked with three different recommended orthos today... new ortho docs in FL won't see a post total knee patient without reviewing all the related documents then deciding if they'll take you on. In the process now of trying to get all my records for two of them then we'll see.

In the meantime I'm going to start going to the gym, I know how to work out, so I'm going to give it a go and see how I do.

I am so sore from doing all the new classes at the gym, plus, still a little riding outside. Good sore, though. Taking a needed rest day today.

Just saw a post from my former exchange student "son," on Facebook. He laid out a bunch of documents, next a big Priority Mail envelope: Green Card, "Guide for New Immigrants," and his California driver's license. I was suddenly filled with emotion. To think, I had to be convinced to have him come stay with us, back in 2002! I definitely don't want this to sound xenophobic, but I am really proud of him. He's accomplished a lot in 13 years, including being a pro racer, owning a very successful coaching business that sponsors both mens and womans' teams, graduating from college in the US in 3 years, and marrying a lovely person. He's going to be a father in March.
What's wrong with my bio kids? Kidding, but my cup is running over with pride right now.

You have a lot to be proud of Crankin
