I am finally walking normal today ( or closer anyway).  It has been a week since I have walked rigth so that is a good feeling.  At work on friday I talked to a couple of people that have done prolotherapy themselves and are quite postitive about it.  That was reasurring because thursday and friday were the worst days.  I am feeling better about it now and will keep updated.  I look forward to running again... 10 more days.

Went walking with my daughter.  It was slow but steady, just trying to keep the knee loose and hopefully help with recovery.

My knee was huting at work today but once I left work and got off of the concrete it felt better, so I bundled my daughter up and we went for a walk. I planned on going 3 but it got pretty cold and windy so we turned around before we had hit a mile.

As I was nearing the house my knee started hutring a bit again, but is definatly feeling better now.

The true test will be when I run on thursday, soon I will count the hours until I can run again!! I am jonesing!!!!

Another walk pushing my daughter. After I got home from wrok I ate dinner and my mom, daughter and I went for a walk. It started sprinkling on us a little bit. I have enjoyed the coolness of the weather this last week.

Knee is feeling 100% better. Hasn't hurt or been uncomfortable for a few days. I can hardly wait until thursday to try running. I am feeling quite blah and need to get back in shape. I feel like I have gained every pound I lost, back, and that is Very depressing.
