I haven't been on this site for ages. Either because of the lack of time or lack of motivation. I've had a lot going on in my life. There's still at least 4 Drafts on this blog which wasn't ever finished and so published, but waiting for their time for 2-2.5 years by now. The accident happened 3 years ago. Hard to believe. Sometimes I feel like it was a decade ago, but other times feels like only a few months away from the present days.

"Memories consume like opening the wounds ..."I wish there's nothing left to say.. at least nothing by now. 2 years ago, not less than 730 days ago on 5th of May 2017 the happenings changed my life, the happenings changed me. Ever since that day, the day of my injury I'm just trying to hold myself together. I'm just trying know where the next step is. I am still struggling with the consequences. I don't have that much pain anymore, but constant discomfort. I'm still working on rebuilding the muscles but I'm slowly getting tired of it, I'm sick of being patient . I am truly glad that I am finally able to go for a biking session with the spotted one, but I also know that it won't be the same ever again. I like the fact that I am able to go, I like this sort of freedom that comes with it, but it's not so enjoyable yet. I shouldn't compare my present performance with the past, but it's just not that so simple. My knee is -almost- looking like a normal knee as it's not so swollen as it was for months. I still have to pay attention to use well my left leg during sport and normal daily activities. Of course my right leg became more dominant to compensate and it won't change one day to another.
-Facebook post adaptation- As this year is at it's end, it's time to look back a little bit...
2018 -in short- was still about my knee (surgeries and rehabilitation) and education. I successfully passed the GCSE and later both the English and the German Language Exams. I've started collage BSc in Computer (IT) Engineering. I also did earn both the ECDL(European Computer Driving Licence) and an Official Kinesiology Taping Certificate. Last but not least with Morgan , the Pointer we completed both the 2 days of 3km trial run organized by StrongDog and the Gerecse10 long distance hiking as important parts of my recovery. Road to Revision...-Facebook post adaptation- 1 year ago I had one more MRI scan as I my knee wasn't working as it should after the first surgery... It was at 6 months after the accident and 5 months first post-op. If they would have seen back than...if they would listen to me ...
Now 8 months revision (means 2 extra surgeries to fix my knee) post-op I have almost the full range of movement back (which is not coming easy with a BTB graft) and I'm finally able to walk normally. With the help of Morgan I had the courage to challenge myself two times as a part of the recovery process : Gerecse10 long distance hiking in April and StrongDog Light - 3km trial running in September. 1 year ago it wouldn't be possible. ... Facebook-post adaptation about StrongDog Trial Run![]() I'm still looking for words to describe our weekend as we've participated at StrongDog wild & dirty LIGHT . I'm only 7 months 3rd ACL post-op and Morgan , the Pointer spent his last couple of weeks with my family as I've been busy with collage and after that I was ill for 2,5 weeks. After all the difficulties we tried ourselves at a canicross competition for the first time ever. I'm basically shocked by Morgan's performance. I knew he'll help me through the hard parts both physically and mentally, but I could never expect what and how he did during the weekend. He just did everything like he would have years of experience at canicross competitions. In the mornings when we had to wait to our start, he was whining unbearable (I'm really sorry to everyone!), but when we were at the start line, I saw something in him, I saw a special fire. I'm superproud at and grateful to him as well. He was pulling me hard up to the hills, gently slowing down when it was necessary and choosing the best path by sense. I don't know how, but WE DID IT! |
AuthorNowadays, thanks to the internet everybody have access to nearly unlimited information.That's why I've decided at my 2 second week living with ACL injury that I'll start a blog to share my personal experiences, my days, my view, thoughts and feelings with all of you. It might be useful or even a little interesting as well. Categories
