The Day is Coming!

Posted on September 8, 2011 by RunDedeauxRun

I’ve got two more physical therapy sessions left.  Or at least I’ve been authorized by my insurance company to go to two more physical therapy sessions – which is pretty much the same thing.  I’m stopping when the insurance stops … Continue reading →

Working Out

Posted on August 26, 2011 by RunDedeauxRun

Physical therapy went okay today.  I am discovering just how weak my quad muscle over ‘the’ knee has become.  That is very weird to me, though.  It’s as if I NEVER exercised that side of my body.  How could I … Continue reading →
