When I met my husband, I was so thin that I looked like "Olive Oil".... you know, Popeye's girlfriend! I was an athlete, gymnast, dancer and lived for sports. Even started off as a physical education major in college. I started getting a little pudgy ...not so bad I thought. Then I tore my media meniscus . Had corrective surgery....or so I thought. 3 moths went by, doing PT 3x a week. Not getting better. Went back to the surgeon and he discovered that my knee cap was not properly placed in the track. Had emergency surgery the next day.
Long story over 15years. Bottom line...I had to have a bi-lateral knee replacements. Both knees. By now, I easily gained 50 lbs. No exercise...walked with a cane and could not believe what I saw in the mirror.
My surgery date is Tuesday , July, 5. I'm nervous, but ready. Here I go!
