Skipping, dancing and joy!
Yesterday, I skipped around my office just because I could and for the joy of being able to skip. Then, once I was home, I put on music and danced like a crazy person. I can skip and dance without pain! Running will hopefully follow sometime soon, with the proviso that I can use myself well and not challenge the knee beyond current strength.
Hurray!! After 16 months of pain and mobility limitation, hope of full function informs me with great gratitude and happiness!
