Hi all,

I just stopped in for a 13-week report.  Most of my previous posts were about this or that going wrong or some other frustration.  However, most of that is in the past and at 13 weeks out recovery is now sailing along quite well.

Been back to work for 6 weeks now and aside from getting stiff from sitting all day, it is going well.  I make sure that I take a walk every 1/2 hour or so and that helps with the desk job duty.

Returned to the gym 4-weeks ago, doing light hiking, swimming, and biking in addition to walking as much as I can.  And those stretching exercises I have learned are very important to continue no matter how good I may feel.

Although I can physically do what I want, I am mindful to back off and not overdo it.  Sometimes it is very hard to hold back because I feel so good physically.  However, good sense tells me that I am not quite there yet.  It is also hard knowing that my husband is out running which is what I formerly loved to do.  I keep telling myself that it will happen all in good time.

I think that the most important things I have learned through this experience are patience and more gratitude for the abilities that I do have.

Great post Kim. Don't discount the value of putting down frustration, things going wrong, etc.

The best thing we can do is note that so when future hippies are going through the same, they can look at your experience and see what they're going through.

It's also important to see this, that in due time, with good hard work, things improve to this point. You're right, the best thing to do is to be patient. It's also the hardest thing. You still have a stretch to go, but it sounds great.
