Little Victories

So I posted this pic on Facebook tonight claiming a somewhat victory in the knee department; see, I'm crossing my legs..

 I haven't been able to do this for the past 9+weeks.  I have missed so many of the little things since I screwed up my knee.  Running, running up & down the stairs, sitting with both my legs crossed, kneeling, crawling...so on and so forth.  Is it crazy to think that I'm excited for the possibility to run in 3-4 months.  I know...Crazy.

So I'll take the little victories, one victory at a time.

You'll also notice that I am NOT wearing my friend, the brace.   Yep, went to the doctor yesterday and I was cleared to not have to wear it anymore.  The doc said that my knee is doing great, and my progression is great.  Now I have to work on strengthening my leg, because if I could show ya, you can see that my left quad is quite smaller than the right {James can vouch for me}.

I'm so ready to be fully normal again.  I desperately miss playing soccer.  I'm ready to not think about how I'm going to go down the stairs each time.  I'm ready to say "Yes" to Madison when she wants to run into a store.  I'm ready to dance & jump around & be crazy goofy with my kids.

Here's to another week & hopefully more Victories to come!
