NSV!!!

I had an exciting NSV today! (Non-scale victory)
I had a knee injury with some complications, including a blood clot. Walking hurt, so I developed a nasty limp, which was making muscles and tendons pull wrong, which made it hurt more. Finally I was sent to physical therapy to learn how to walk properly, and to strengthen my knees and core, and improve my balance. Best thing I've done in ages (except for beginning this weight loss journey.)
Today at physical therapy I realized how much progress I've made. My knee is getting stronger! Some of the exercises were too easy.
And there were some high schoolers in today doing some strengthening exercises to prevent ACL injuries. I recognized those exercises, I usually have to do them, too. It was interesting to see that I do the same exercises with more vigor than these high school athletes were doing! I wish I had done them at the same time as the girls, but we didn't do those exercises today! (It would have made them feel bad!)
