today has been a great day.
a few weeks ago i posted that i wasn't going to be able to finish the trail due to a knee injury. after having the injury and seeing a doc about it, i was told that there was a more than posible chance that i would have to undergo surgery. that was not music to my ears. i wanted to get back on the trail. i wanted to make more miles. but they insisted surgery was the way to go.
well, by not having insurance at the time surgery was not an option. but any way!
went back to the doc today to start the process of mri's, x'rays and every thing else they do before you have surgery and that's when the good news came.
the torn ligaments that i had have started healing to the piont that there is no reason at all for surgery. YYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they said all i need is about a month and a half of physical therapy that i can do my self
YYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so now i'm back to work planning, for my southbound thru hike.
YAY!
i'm hoping to start around mid june
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! !!!!!!!
