Mobility is something I have taken for granted for years. Being on crutches for 6 weeks in August 2022 was a real eye opener for me. Life just becomes harder. Sure, I got by and had help but there are so many people who do not have that luxury. And just last week, I had to have the surgery that I had done to fix my meniscal root tear redone. It re-tore and I was back to not being able to run or walk comfortably. 6 more weeks of crutches and months of physical therapy.
This time I believe that the proper procedures were done and I will behave myself so that I am not writing about a third surgery.
In the meantime, I have been suffering from race envy. So many cool events that I have missed. But I'll be back.
This Race Envy Tee Shirt is a great gift for yourself or a runner who is sidelined and missing out on the fun.
And next time you see someone with mobility issues, have some grace. From a sore knee to being in a wheelchair, not being able to move the way you want to is a struggle.
