hard to believe it's been 8 weeks,  5 days since my surgery.  I've made an amazing recovery thus far: I am far from 100% and am now entering the "most vulnerable" time for my ACL reconstruction as I feel better/more normal and want to get back to my pre-injury life.  The graft is at risk for injury if I pivot/twist quickly (dance; play soccer/football/tennis etc....) 

I head back to Columbus today via a weekend stop in Athens to visit with my daughter, Lily & son-in-law Sam. PT is already on the calendar for Tuesday at Ohio State University's Wexner Medical Center.  My PT here, Steven, was instrumental in getting me in so quickly, calling and setting up the appointment for me.   I'll be focusing on rehab there through the rest of the year. 

It will be great to be back at Yoga on High, and practice again with my teacher, Tom, and get settled in my own place.  Physically I am feeling pretty good - the knee gets cranky sometimes but it's manageable.  Emotionally I am still feeling lost - adrift - no real direction or clear idea of what I'm supposed to be doing or where.  It's hard as hell to wait patiently for things to work out, and to keep the trust/faith on board that all will be ok; but, as transformation is a present day activity, I'll hold on to the notion that I'm moving toward that end.
