Where to begin…
I’ve been gone from here for so long. I am sorry. I wish I could say I was so busy that I didn’t have time to write. That would just be a lie. I’ve just had no motivation to write.
Ever since I found out how bad I hurt my knee I’ve become very depressed. I’ve never been what many would consider an “active” person, but I am always doing something. I even try to be an “active” person by making myself go to the gym at least 3 times a week. I was actually proud of myself this winter. I had been consistently running and got up to running 1 1/2 miles three times a week without stopping or slowing down. For me this was HUGE. I have run a 5k before (3.1 miles), but I wasn’t consistent. Right when I got the routine down I got hurt.
Lame.
Literally… Lame.
I then had to live my life with the knowledge that life would get much harder before it got better. I knew I needed surgery, but really didn’t want to go through with it. I hate pain. I am afraid of surgery. Now that I have had surgery I can still say that I hate pain and am afraid of surgery. Go figure. Luckily the pain was much less than I had anticipated.
Just so you all know, I will be writing a lot about my ACL surgery in the next few months. Reading people’s blogs about what they went through helped me a lot, both before my surgery and after. I want to help others as well.

Stumble it!
That sounds like a great idea, to write about your experience with your knee.
I’m glad you aren’t hurting as much as you thought you would. But you’re right - surgery sucks.
Surgery isn’t fun…I am so glad that you aren’t in a lot of pain. Keep a positive attitude throughout the healing process (trust me I know how hard that can be some days!)
Bridge…….. We have missed you!
Hope that you get back in the groove again.
Great to hear you were alive today and talk for a bit. You are a rock and completely hilarious. I miss you! Looking forward to some Brigitte time very soon!
Hang in there, Bridge!
knees are lame.
