• Day 970. 218 lbs lost (as of 9-14). 13 days post op. I made it past the worst of it; the last two weeks have been a bit of a blur. Pain is finally manageable and mobility is improving again. My walker (for the second time) has become my friend again and my life consists of PT and lots and lots of ice. Sheesh, I can't seem to keep enough of it around and I go through about 8 double sets a day and the ice machine at night. My breakdowns have been minor compared to the first surgery so I would say my emotions are a bit more in check this time lol....which is good news. Recovery is tough though. Still hard days and meds dont make it easier but all to be expected. One tiny step closer. . . . . . #kneesurgery #jointreplacement #blountsdisease #fullkneereplacement #ice #icepacks #notenoughice #osteoarthritis #crossfitter

  • Day 951. 221 lbs lost (as of 8-14). The open starts four weeks post surgery #2. There is part of me that wonders what I will be able to do. The other part says, who cares.

  • Day 949. 221 lbs lost (as of 8-14). Look Ma, its straight! 4 months today and I cant believe how straight it is.

  • Day 949. 221 lbs lost (as of 8-14). And here we are, one more week. I am happy to report that the pain on my right side is gone. It's almost hard to believe even as I write this. It's awkward, but it doesn't hurt anymore. It's a feeling I havent experienced since I was eight. The wait was worth it. . . . . . #crossfit #crossfitlevel1 #crossfitlife #obesetobeast #weightlossjourney #poweredbyjesus #crossfitfamily #crossfitcommunity #weightlossstory #kneereplacement #jointreplacement #grateful #gratitude
