[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 149813, member: 3388"] Trinity, Thanks so much for thinking of me!!! The healing process is S L O W!!! I started physical therapy this morning. I'm going to be going twice a week. I'm getting something called ultrasound therapy also. It is supposed to speed up the healing process. I have an appointment with the ortho on Friday morning. I'm still supposed to take it easy. I'm allowed to walk a bit, but not much. As soon as I feel any sort of discomfort I'm supposed to stop. It's been over a month since I've been able to run. I think it's going to be a long time before I'll be able to get back to my old exercise routine. I took prednisone for twelve days. (Unless it is absolutely 100% necessary, I REFUSE to take any more of it!!!) Although I really don't notice less swelling, the physical therapist said it looks slightly better than it did at my initial evaluation which was over a week ago. I need to feel that I have some control over my body. I've been concentrating on healthy eating. I can't believe it, but I'm now between 3-4 lbs. lighter than my goal weight. It's probably just loss of muscle though, lol!!! I can dream though... The one thing I've learned during all of this is that it is really important to listen to your body. I used to push myself to run farther, work out harder, etc. and always ignored small signs my body gave me that I needed to slow down. Well, I've learned my lesson the hard way. I hope that anyone who reads this will listen to the signals their bodies give them and not over do it, like I did. If this happens, at least I'll feel like my injury served some sort of purpose. Trinity, thanks again for thinking of me. I hope you're doing well. I haven't had time to get caught up yet. Well, this is beginning to look like a mini-novel, and difficult child 2 is beginning to "tantrum." Got to go... WFEN [/QUOTE]
