The Lord totally took my pain today

I walked into therapy today a little stiff and expecting to not improve much. But it's always days like that when God shows me He's in control. Did the same exercises as Friday.

But it was totally awesome when I walked in, my personal trainer was there! I guess he just finished working with a client and had free time. He chatted with us for a few minutes while I waited for my therapist to be ready and then he stayed and chatted with my mom for a few more minutes. Even though I know he reads this blog, his face was priceless when he saw me walking in, no crutches, barely a limp. He was ecstatic. 

I didn't have "pain" during my exercises today. I was uncomfortable. But I pushed through because I had to. And the tipping birds were fun today because a different therapist corrected posture on it and explained the reason for the exercise. 

So today I go to the doctor and so they did bendy measurements to fax a report to my doctor. Remember when I first went in, I had a 40* bend on my own muscle? Today I was at 80*!! And when the therapist is moving my knee or I am moving knee with my other leg, I can get it to 100*!! So exciting! Feels soooo good! And Friday when the therapist pushed me to 100, I was nearly in tears, but I was not in pain!

Did you read that right? Do I have to type it again? TODAY, I BENT TO 100* AND DIDNT HAVE PAIN!! I had about the same discomfort as doing my exercises. So I just need to bend more on my own muscle at home. 

I'm still having trouble walking and bending and not having a limp at all. That's a gravity fight right there. But what am I complaining about?! Counting by 7-day weeks, today marks 2 months since my injury. I think I've healed marvelously. 

I do get cabin fever sometimes and the body that didn't like exercising for 23 years and only worked out for 1 month is starting to long to work out again.
