Today is June 13th. It has been 13 weeks since I fell and tore my left quadriceps tendon. I had another follow-up with the surgeon today and he is impressed both with his handiwork and with my progress. I still have a way to go to build up my strength and my range of motion, but he has officially declared me to be “brace-optional.” I no longer have to wear the brace when walking about! I will still keep it handy for times when I am walking on uneven ground (e.g., push mowing). But he said that unless I actually fall on that knee again, there’s no way I’m going to tear it again at this point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And most importantly, today is my 13th wedding anniversary!\u00a0 13 years ago today Amanda and I gathered with family and friends on a cruise boat on Lake Champlain and promised ourselves to each other.\u00a0 The honeymoon continues!!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
