I haven't written a post in awhile. I have been too busy progressing like crazy! Over the weekend I walked a 5K!!!! Yes, 3.1 miles! I felt so great that I was able to do this. I did not have pain during the entire thing! This hasn't happen is such a long time I forgot what it felt like!
In PT yesterday I upped my weight on almost every exercise and added some new ones. I did the elliptical for the first time and swam 30 laps in the pool! I'm so sore today but it feels so good to be able to be active again without being in pain and taking pain pills to fall asleep at night. I can't express enough how exciting this is for me. I haven't been using my cane but always keep it in my bag just in case. I still can't trust myself completely without it.
I feel like I am finally getting back to "normal". I feel like I have been stuck in this long dark tunnel. When I got diagnosed I saw a light appear at the end. Now, I feel like I am on the last leg of it and almost out into the sunlight. At this rate, I will be running again in no time!
