One year and counting
It was over one year ago that I got my ATR and surgery. It’s hard to believe how much has transpired over the past one year and also how fast time has passed. I remember been cooped up at home after the surgery and watching the leaves turn color and fall to the ground … and that’s what I see out the window right now. Overall, it was a challenging year, but all-in-all I have grown quite a bit over the time and understand that He has his purpose in it all.
I went to visit the doctor 2 weeks back for my 1 year check up. I walked around, and did some leg lifts. We mostly chatted and the doctor said that I could do any exercise that I felt comfortable with. He said that probably my body’s healing style probably produces more scar tissue, so the area around the tendon will slowly thinnen over time. Doctor reminded me that the strand he used to tie the tendons was still in my body and that I would need surgery if I really wanted it out — obviously, I wouldn’t want to do surgery just to take it out.
