You don't focus on what you don't have; you celebrate what you do.

I left my orthopedics appointment last evening disappointed but not devastated. He genuinely said that there is nothing more he could do my right knee and the scar tissue without breaking my femur. I now need to walk with a cane. I do not think so. My back, hip and right ankle constantly hurts me.

I was not happy that there is nothing more that can be done for my knee with 60 to 67 degrees of flexion. I was not happy so I walked a different neighborhood and toured two gyms. I have a 4-day pass to a gym, starting tomorrow. I have scheduled an appointment with a sports medicine in 2-weeks. I have charged my FitBit.

“I AM” willing to work towards more flexion and healing. That is why my evening walks are a gift. I will continue to walk slow, take pause and give gratitude.

I am requesting that all my family and friends become my prayer warriors. Please pray and ask your family and friends and you churches to pray for me. Help me to believe and have faith. "God will heal and restore."

I was encouraged this morning when I watched this video Gatorade made with Elena Delle Donne and her sister, Lizzie, who cannot hear or see but she can feel.Lizzie can feel the wind. She can feel joy.

In my life, I have always loved basketball, and I was hurt playing it many years, ago. I have worked with developmentally disabled throughout years, and my residents love unconditionally. If you have been hurt, it does not mean you cannot still love what hurt you unconditionally as you overcome obstacles.

You don't focus on what you don't have; you celebrate what you do.
