Last week I started a thread about running into Bunker legend @Rejects while we were both rehabbing after knee surgery.
Well, unfortunately I have had a setback. I have developed arthrofibrosis. It’s a relatively rare post op condition where scar tissue thickens and restricts your range of motion. Basically it locks your joint, in this case, my knee.
it has remained swollen and today, I’m a month out of surgery. My last three PT visits have become more and more painful and each visit, my range of motion has decreased.
This isn’t the end of the world and I’m sure many of you are going through something worse right now. If we can’t work it out, they can put me back under and just literally manipulate my knee until they break up all the scar tissue. The problem with that is, I will eventually wake up and from what I hear, that won’t be fun.
Anyway, the busiest time of my work year in the next two months. I’m on the road constantly driving or flying from bowl game to bowl game with some conference championships and basketball events mixed in. Right now, I can’t drive more that 20 minutes or so without pretty serious pain.
I would greatly appreciate your prayers if you are so inclined. Believe God’s Word when it tells us the fervent prayers of a righteous man, avails much. I covet your prayers for healing, for patience, for ability to deal with the pain, for favor with my clients as I work through this, for the ability to be the man, husband, father, employee, employer, friend and leader I am called to be throughout this process.
I apologize for the selfish nature of this post and request. Thank you for your consideration, thought and prayers.
War Eagle and thank you!
