Hmmm… From some of the emails I’ve received over the past few days I think my last post left the impression I am not doing so well….there were three more paragraphs I lobbed off about how great I am doing…so I will write that now.
And I am doing great!! I am enjoying many of the activities I used to and that has been wonderful. I have been doing a ton of walking and even walked the two or so miles downtown for one of my rehabs.
Many of you know how much I love to bike and I biked for the first time last week! It was amazing. It actually takes a ton of coordination and balance (and obviously strength) and I rocked it!
I’ll continue with my rehab — right now just through the end of October — for fine tuning and stuff. The doctors appointments still seem never ending and I feel like I am there almost everyday…but I know that won’t last forever and I will be thrilled when the visits become less frequent.
Finally, I hope everyone is enjoying the summer and getting outside and being active. I appreciate it about a million times more than I used to after being cooped up in the hospital so long.
Enjoy the summer!

I am so so so proud of you! I KNOW how hard you worked for each achievement, no matter how big or small. You are a HUGE inspiration Jill!

So glad you’re out biking. Jim & I have tried to get to the Lakeshore at least once a week this summer — taking advantage of the bike trails for the first time since we moved to the city. Would bet with your athleticism that you are way-more proficient on a bike, even in your recovery phase, that I will ever be!
Hugs & Love!
