Married, three kids all grown up... now four grandkids and two living with us
Psalm 119:105 NKJV
Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.
The sound of God is a travelling wave that never stops. It knows no time nor is there any substance it can't penetrate.
It's been over three month since I've blogged. I've gone through a lot
lately and just didn't feel like blogging my progress and rehab. I've
been going to the gym about every day until recently where I've actually ran
outside. Two weeks ago or so I did back to back 6 mile runs outside, but
because of the compensation I got Achilles tendonitis for over two weeks on the
good leg. It's healed now and I have run back to back days of 4 miles and
5 miles today at an over amazing pace of 8:15. I started slow running
miles at 11 minutes before this so I just didn't jump the legs in gear. I
still have a long way to go.
I need to make slow steps and not rush back so quickly. Like I said
I'm not even close to healed even though it may seem like it. I have a
lot of pain all the time. I need to learn to not push the miles for
recovery, because the miles don't matter it's getting my leg stronger that
matters.
My last X-ray appointment showed that I still had a gap in my leg where
the bone hasn't re-healed yet. The doctor was hoping that was already
healed. But because of the Titanium Rod I can still run of course. There
could be another surgery to heal it faster. He said I could run outside but
minimal.
Emotionally, it’s been hard. I've been depressed but keep
going. I have other health problems with my Red Blood Cells which could
be serious. I won't know until 5 months from now. My thyroid is ok
with the thyroid medicine I will have to take the rest of my life
(syncthroid). It's so strange through this accident how both my red blood
and white blood cells were not where they should be. I'm taking
anti-depressants, because of the struggles, setbacks, and I’m just not happy. I have bad mood swings as well.I've had so many accidents lately with my
body it's unreal.
I did do a mile today at 7:57 because it was pouring down and I was cold and
wanted to get back home.. I'll try to continue blogging and keep in
touch. I'm still swimming as well about twice a week.
Life is depressing right now with all the pain.I haven’t been pain free from something for
over a year.

Sorry about all of your struggles. I/we are praying for your recovery and overall well being (you have been on our Church prayer list since the accident!). I am here for you if you need anything or just to talk.

Thanks Jeff, Your are a true friend. I've had a difficult time, and just isolated myself. I know you shouldn't hold things in. I will get in touch with you.
I really feel I'm no longer a runner just someone trying to recover and stay fit.

Hi Kory! I've been asking around the blog on your progress and glad to see you signed in again. It's great to see you making progress. Keep in mind you are moving forward. There will be very difficult days, but you will not be alone. You are right, don't hold stuff in. I did for the year after my job layoff and it nearly led to my demise. I'm not being over dramatic here and I think you know what I mean. Seek out help when dark days come or regularly visit a therapist. Call on the Lord and wear the "armor of God". Sorry for preaching. God Bless!

Not only are you still a runner Kory, you are still a great runner. I am so inspired by you, and I have faith that you will come back even stronger than before.
Patience is hard, but a really good virtue to work on ...
Mainly, I hope you have many pain-free days ahead.

Kory, I almost don't know what to say man.. Just hang in there and I will pray for your recovery. I'll send you an e-mail with my tel number. Call if you want or I can call you. Either way?
Steve.

Welcome back! Good luck with your continual recovery. Know that you've got a lot of people pulling for you!

I still have along ways to go. I'm hoping my next xrays show the bone is completely healed. The pace is difficult and the leg feels like lifting a brick.
I appreciate your responses...I've really missed everyone.
