All the best to you! I'm sure there is a myriad of emotions to confront after an event that significant. I'll be praying for you and I know you will come out stronger than ever.

Day 39:
It has now been 40 days since I was last home. 39 since I have been in the hospital and rehab. I have made huge progress in these days. Although I am still not allowed to put weight on my right leg, I have regained 103* range of motion, I am no longer in the brace, and can make a pretty good distance hopping with the assistance of a walker. This has led the staff here to coin the nickname Cottontail for me. The biggest news of the day is I will be discharged from the rehab facility tomorrow and heading home!!! Next Wednesday I will be clear to begin actively bending my knee as well as using a stationary bike and water exercises. I will also continue rehab as an outpatient there. I will return to the doctor that did my surgery on July 11th. At that point if everything is going to plan I should be begin weight bearing and “learning” to walk again.
There has been so much outpouring of support during all of this that I don’t know how really to express my thanks and gratitude. Although I have a ways to go yet, it is made easier with the support of my friends and family. You guys are what has kept me strong through all of this and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!
So on to the next phase……

I'm drawn to the open country. Its where the world makes the most sense. When I put myself out there I always return with something new.
You are welcome CB. And thank you for telling your inspiring story of recovery. Looking forward to seeing you in The Gorge this fall.

I've gone to find myself. If I get back before I return, make sure I stay here.
When I see lovers' names carved into a tree, I don't think it's cute. I think it's strange how so many people take knives on a date.

Its ok to slow down but never give up. Hope your recovery continues as planned and you can get back out on the trail
I am still 18 but with 52 years of experience !
Great news CB, I am sure we are all excited you are healing well!

Give me more folly said the fool,

Sure sounds like it now. Did so a whole lot less on day 0.
Congratz on the discharge, I hope the rest of your recovery can be as swift and succesful as the first leg of the journey (no pun intended)
