Preop

I am about to begin a difficult chapter in my life. Up until this point, I have been fortunate enough to not feel pain or suffering or even discomfort for any long period of time. Now I am facing knee surgery that scares me. There is a limit on the calculations and predictions I can make. I do not know what it will be like, how it will feel after I am opened up.

All I know is that I must treat this like any other personal challenge, learn and grow from it in many ways.

I am doing this so I can do the things in life I love to do, to be active to the fullest, physically strong into my old age. But it will require work, pain, sweat and tears. But how ever it is, I will get through it. I will be patient with myself and my body. And this blog will reflect a new found patients and presence in my life.
