I had one last appointment on Friday to review the results from the
MRI which was last Monday (who knew this process required 3 separate appointments?!). I learned that I have an MCL (medial colateral ligament) sprain and will need to do physical therapy 1-2 times a week for 3-4 weeks. What a mess... haha. And here I thought I was just going to the doctor out of precaution! I didn't think I'd actually end up in physical therapy. Gracious. BUT, I am super thankful that it wasn't worse. I keep reminding myself that I could have ended up having surgery, so I suppose a few weeks of PT is not the end of the world. ;) They couldn't get me in for the first visit until next Monday, so my goal is to do the exercises they showed me everyday this week, so that hopefully I can "graduate" before the 4 week mark. :) I'm ready to walk in this nice weather and get back to my Jillians!
(Jillian Michaels that is- we're on a first-name basis. Actually, I just abbreviate everything).
In other news, we celebrated one of my best friends' birthdays this weekend. We spent the afternoon in Smyrna at
Land of a Thousand Hills coffee shop (the views there are just beautiful!) and then went back to Andrea's house for dinner. Here are some pics from the day!

ReplyDeleteLooks like such a fun weekend. The little ones are ADORABLE! :) The view is beautiful like you said. The last picture reminds me of a place we have around here. They have walking trails right on the water. Also so nice to go there!
I am so glad you didn't have to have surgery! Pics are gorgeous. Nice to see people wearing shorts! We go to Florida in less than two weeks. Out of this incredibly long winter for a while.
