Rant #3,286: Name of the Game

My physical therapy went very well yesterday, and I am moving along at a great pace to my ultimate goal, which is to get better.

But as I now sit here relaxing after a somewhat strenuous workout, I am watching some TV to relax

I remember being told that the most difficult part of my entire injury episode would be the rehab ... the physical therapy.

Physical therapy in the house.wasn't too terrible. But now I have moved up to the big leagues, and my physical therapy is held outside the house at a facility where 20 or so people at a time go to get better.

I went yesterday, and I did all the exercises I was given to do.

Some were fairly easy, some were strenuous, but they were all for my betterment.

Specifically, all of the exercises were designed to allow my left knee to bend again, and have the freedom.of movement that I had lost when I was injured.

I.lifted my leg, bent my knee ever so slightly, and while I did not work up much of a sweat, it was quite a workout.

My driving factor is my need to get better, and with all the progress I have already made and will make with this therapy, the therapist told me that I might be given the green light to drive by April.

I am personally shooting for April 28, which would be the occasion of my 67th birthday.

That would be the best present I could get on that day, and more importantly, it will be a major milestone in the long road that I have to navigate to get better and to return to normal.

So let's see how it all works out; I know it won't be easy, but I know that I am going to do it.

And it comes later than April 28, I will deal with it.

Wish me luck.
