Yesterday marked 5 months and boy am I proud of myself.  It’s hard to fathom that just five months ago I could hardly walk 15 feet when today I find myself walking 2-3 miles per day like it’s nothing.  I still have a long way to go in terms of gaining my strength back to where I feel comfortable engaging in all of the activities I did before I had surgery, but if I can go from 15 feet to 3 miles in just 5 short months, there is no doubt in my mind that my other goals are possible to meet.  It’s these kinds of realizations that keep me going.
