Ortho appointment yesterday. Was only seen by a Physician Assistant, but she was very impressed by my weight loss. When I was there a year ago, I weighed 259. Yesterday I weighed 203.6 - over 55 pounds. Unfortunately, the joint space between the bones on the outside of my knee has significantly narrowed. I had a partial replacement of the inside of my knee in 2016; now it’s time to convert to full knee replacement. Got a Toradol shot in it (very painful!) to help with the pain until I am ready for surgery. I’m thinking after 10/23, when I will have had a whole year of walking without missing a day. It’ll take me awhile after surgery to be able to get back up to 3-1/2 miles a day.

Give yourself a pat on the back because that is all you taking the bull by the horns and having such an impressive weight loss!!! And I'll bet you feel a ton better for it too. Sorry to hear about your knee but you've got this Debbie! And once you are fully recovered, I can see you posting about how quickly you make it back up to your 3.5 miles a day and who knows, maybe longer than that! Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers ;)

Thank you seashell34, Javadali and Shirley. I appreciate (and need) the encouragement. I weigh more right now than I weighed a month ago. A whole month wasted!
