Re: I fought the dog and the dog won.

Thanks Joe, I am still recovering 7 months out, but I've made tremendous progress and I will continue to regain some of what I've lost for several more months. I am walking without a limp now at least until I get fatigued near the end of along day. I am back in Physical therapy to further strengthen my right leg muscles to further stabilize my knee joint and just generally regain some of the muscle lost to atrophy. I have about 95%+ range of motion in my right arm again and I think I'll get at least 98% before I'm done with my progress. I plan to graduate from college in less than a month and after the holidays I plan to join a gym and get back to swimming laps and getting some of this weight back off me which should also help lesson the stress on the knees.

Everyone has been very supportive and encouraging about my recovery and I really do appreciate the kind words from this community of riders.
