I have been fortunate. After 12-15 yrs of wearing knee braces, I am happy to say I haven't worn the titanium in two months. I have worked really hard, after getting knocked around the way I had in the USMC, 92-97 left me pretty banged up.

Fortunately, as luck would have it with perseverance, hard work, surgeries, physical therapy and lots of kicking drills I have been able to be brace free. It still hurts like crazy, always will. Still need a cane at times as I am now really trying to conquer a back problem.

Slow and steady wins the race, it always has and always will.

Have a happy thanksgiving tomorrow everyone.

Matt,

Welcome back from the stone age. Now when you walk, don't you kind of smile with ever step? Easy does it and you will conquor the back problems to.

As we can all see by what is happening in India and round the world, we are very blessed. The Wall-Street thing is actually very minor. Very minor. Well will beat that thing.

So have a very good Thanksgiving. Give everyone hugs around you.

Matt, I don't know how I missed this thread - prolly too busy cooking and shopping. ;)

"Good for you" just doesn't seem to cut it. Physical medicine is SO very important - and often very painful. Many people never finish it because of that and it takes courage to continue.

Keep fighting that good fight, my friend. You're winning.

I missed this thread as well, and I just happened to see it this evening....

I've not too long been home from practice, and I've got this cold/bug/thing that's going around, and I was just complaining to my wife about how my form sucked and I was out of breath and yadda yadda yadda.

Then, I read this thread, and I shut up.

Keep going, Matt. What you're doing is truly inspirational.
