rehab and such.......
....welcome to my knee adventure...as of Wednesday, Feb 8, I am new and improved!
I have a new-to-me ACL, harvested from my hamstring tendon.....nifty, if you think about it- a match for my other, which was repaired using my patellar tendon. Cool.
No more pain upon twisting, no more locking of joints b/c of meniscal trauma. I'll be 110% in about 3 months.
All good...now I just have to be patient enough to heal. I'd rather be healed yesterday (picture my fingers drumming impatiently upon the table).
And then there is my lover....who I love...who loves me, and is too damn far now but is coming closer, and soon I will go back to where she is...and we'll see what happens. Like caring for a new ACL, I have to be patient and care for this love and do everything that I can to make it strong and healthy. Sometimes it'll be hard as fuck and painful and I might want to give up, but I believe in it..I took the risk, like going under the knife- I let myself go, put my trust out there... and now here I am with a new-to-me way of seeing the world, communicating....adventuring, and maybe shedding some light on why the hell I am here in the first place. For a good reason, I reckon..to heal my body, and my heart, and maybe other things as well.
It's all worth it in the end- it's just that sometimes it's easy to lose sight of that. I aim to maintain my focus.
Um HMM!
