Back up and running! Kind of.

I'm fixed! My knee surgery was about 9 weeks ago and it went great. The knee feels good and both the doc and the physical therapist think I'm recovering very well. It's amazing I'm able to stand on and move my knee in ways i haven't been able to since i was 16. Right now I'm focusing on rehabbing my knee and leg muscles. I go to to pt at least once a week and do daily exercises as well as all the other stuff the doctor has cleared me to do. Ive been riding my bike and walking as much as possible, which is a nice change from the 5 or 6 weeks of not being able to do anything at all right after surgery. Lately I've been doing 20 to 40 mile road rides 2 or 3 times a week. I'm not cleared to actually run for another 7 weeks or so. I'm pretty excited to get back to that as well.

About four weeks ago i also elected to undergo lasik eye surgery. It's pretty awesome to go in blind and come out 15 minutes later with much clearer vision. Not perfect yet it takes a while for your eyes to heal and for you vision to stabilize but i can actually see now.

Now that I've got all the work done I've got a to do list of activities a mile long with hopes of being able to do them all as soon as possible.
