Two years ago today was the last time my right knee felt normal. Since then, my meniscus has been torn, my knee has been swollen and in pain, and it’s popped out of its socket. Two years ago today was the last time I worked out at Barwis Methods. I can feel my body feeling weaker and my muscles getting atrophied. That’s been a lot! My knee hurts today, as usual, and it’s frustrating!
This morning on Good Morning Football, I learned that Joe Mixon partially tore his meniscus last weekend. He is a running back for the Cincinnati Bengals and he was drafted in 2017. He had his meniscus surgically repaired and plans on playing in the game this Sunday against the Panthers. Will Selva, (who is also left-handed), said it in passing as he spoke of the news regarding different members of different teams.
I heard that and it completely shocked me. I had my meniscus surgically repaired over a year and a half ago and I still haven’t been to Barwis and it still hurts! I can’t understand it. I know that not being able to work out at Barwis is not a good thing. Michael told me one time that I am fighting a losing battle trying to keep my muscles communicating with my brain. He didn’t say that I will ultimately lose but he told me it will be difficult. Not being there breaks my heart more than I can say!
It took me a while to realize what today was and even what tomorrow is going to be. Two years ago today, was the last time I worked out at Barwis not knowing what would happen to years ago tomorrow! It’s crazy how time flies and yet I am STILL in pain!
