Personal:

I am married with 3 lovely children 26, 18, &12and a dog named Koda and a cat named Blue. Love to run and be outside. I believe that if you think you can do it and you work hard enough any thing is possible. Life flashes by in the blink of an eye, enjoy it while it last and remember there is a lot more to life than running. I coach high school swim and love it!

Good job on the crosstraining. I am sure you won't lose too much fitness, and you will be back running before you know it. Hang in there!

Good job managing your recovery well. The roads will wait until you are ready.

Hello Josse,

I agree with James - great job on the cross-training.

I have been meaning to write, but got sidetracked with work. I think that many people underestimate the toll that surgery has on our bodies. The anesthesia alone is pretty tough (completely unnatural and does very weird things to your entire system), then add in the whole knife thing ... this probably isn't as obvious to people who are not used to functioning at the physical level you are, but is remarkable to people who are active.

Take it easy, you are in great shape and it won't take you long to get back to where you were. It will be worse to try to rush things and have a bunch of set-backs (in my opinion).

Take Care,

Bonnie

I completly agree with you Bonnie. This had defintaly been tougher than I anticitpated. I can still taste the anesthesia once in a while (even 3 weeks out, it makes me want to through up). I realise know that it will take me longer than I thought. I will try to be patient, I think know that is had been 3 weeks it will be easier to be patient. I do miss it alot, but know it will always be waiting for me when I come back.

Good call, Josse! Take your time, there is no rush. It took me a full month to regain my full regular strength (not running) after my surgery in '02. The first week I got home, I decided to walk 3 miles, and I barely made it back home. I was so weak, it was a chore just to go down the stairs in my own house! I also lost about 15 lbs while I was at the hospital, but that had more to do with being on just IV for full 7 days (no solid food). Surgeries, especially open cut ones, are a killer on the body. Be kind to yours, and it will thank you!
