Aside from the fact that I am on crutches for 3 1/2 more weeks and can't put any weight on my right leg until then, everything is going great. The reason that I am 6 weeks of no weight bearing is that the cartilage repair that they did with the microdrilling is the thickness of a postage stamp and they want to make sure it is healed properly.
The physical therapist is good and has my knee bending to about 120 degrees of motion. It hurts when he does it, but I can tell that everyday it is getting looser. It sucks to watch my, already skinny, quad muscles atrophy. But that is par for the course when you don't use them for 6 weeks. Our goal is to have them equal size again by month 6, then I have been instructed by the doctor that he wants 20 percent increase in both of them in the next year. Hah! I say. I've cycled thousands of miles trying to grow these legs and it doesn't happen. But I will give it a try anyhow.
All in all, things are going great. I am enjoying some time off from work. I still work from home, but I don't have to go in and deal with the day-to-day office crap that goes on in there. I've been able recently to focus in more on developing our Mona Vie distribution team, which is where I'd ultimately like to derive the majority of my income anyhow being that it is passive, residual allowing for a way more flexible schedule, and the top out income is significantly higher than the radio station. I have been drinking my two 2-ounce glasses daily knowing that good nutrition will be instrumental in the healing process.
My amazing wife has been lived up to her billing in all of this. She's a taxi driver, super helper, and listens to my whining like she cares. God bless her, she's had a whole bunch of extra duty added to her plate and hasn't skipped a beat. She rocks!
Well, that's it for now. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and will appreciate working out more than ever when I can get back to it. Tomorrow morning I'll head out to my gym in the garage for my first upper body workout since the surgery so I can start fulfilling my need to sweat.
Talk to you soon.
