Today was my first physical therapy session, although I've had physical therapy exercises to do since the day after the surgery. I think it went well. The physical therapist was impressed. But I'm not going to be off crutches this week.

I also had my first acupuncture session today. I think it helped significantly. I think it helped even more than the physical therapy. My...

I love hearing this. Your attitude and focus are so important for a speedy and full recovery.

Have I told you lately how proud I am of you?
creamcuffs:
This is very good news. Pain reduced by half is wonderful news, and it means you are even closer to a full recovery. It looks like you're in good hands with your doctors and physical therapists.

Tomorrow I go back to NYC around 1 PM. I'll see how it is to be on my own with my leg like this. I'll be fine in my apartment, but getting to work and getting around the city will be difficult.

I spoke to H-- today, and my plan is to go to Japan in November. He hopes he'll be able to take a...

I hope this is allergies, because I don't want to be coming down with a cold two days before my ACL reconstruction surgery.

Two more days...

You're gonna be fine...

wsoxfan:
I woke up with a horrible fit of sneezing, sinus pain and stuffy head a week ago last Thursday. I was almost positive it was allergies and I was right. It cleared up in a day or two.

I hope it's the same with you.

I wrote an email to a former professor of mine, now a friend, to let him know what I've been up to lately. I realized I have had and will have a rather adventurous, interesting life. One day I may have kids and grandkids who will have good stories about me. This makes me happy.
wsoxfan:
The thought of what you're saying makes me so happy. I can tell you from personal experience, nothing beats a loving partner along with having kids and grandkids.

I wish all of that for you, as you deserve all the happiness you can get.

I will travel to see my boyfriend in October or November, then in February or March I'll move to Japan, where he is. It all seems much too far away.

I actually understand what you're saying about the your recovery from surgery being a somewhat "welcome" distraction.

This is one of the things I find remarkable about you and shows how much you've grown since I first became friends with you. You're able to see something positive about a seemingly negative situation. You're the kind of person I'm proud to know and consider a friend.

She's been protective of me when it comes to my relationships with women ever since Annette passed away.

We talked it out yesterday and things are okay between us.

My appointment with the new doctor was good. My ACL reconstruction will happen in about a week and a half, and with this doctor's techniques and aggressive physical therapy, he says I can be back to pre-injury condition in 3 months. Much, much faster than the 6 months I was expecting, so I'm happy.
ferretbite:
Just make sure you don't become overconfident if you start to notice improvement and you will be fine.
wsoxfan:
Great news. Here's hoping for a full and speedy recovery.

Today is H--'s birthday. I was glad I was on Skype with him when it hit midnight in Japan so that I could be the first to wish him a happy birthday. He said he was glad too, and he had all his early birthday presents that I sent him by his side.

It's also Japan Day. So we had a lot of memories today....

Thanks for the well-wishes, you guys.

Good news: I have an appointment with a doctor from the Hospital for Special Surgery next week. I mean, better news would have been that I found a time machine and avoided hurting my knee in the first place. But good news will have to do.
