A year ago I climbed stairs under water, walked with a crutch, and got winded walking to the parking lot. I can climb stairs decently and walk mostly with out a limp.
In either case, hopefully the surgery brings relief. And I am more optimistic today on that, a coworker was sharing how much better he is after he got his plates removed.
Anyrate, thanks for the good wishes.

So I've thought about this for a while, and yes I'm making real progress. While the knee and foot pain are real, and daily, I have progressed. A year ago I climbed stairs under water, walked with a crutch, and got winded walking to the parking lot. I can climb stairs decently and walk mostly with out a limp. In either case, hopefully the surgery brings relief. And I am more optimistic today on that, a coworker was sharing how much better he is after he got his plates removed. Anyrate, thanks for the good wishes.
 Keep up the good work. Next year you'll be climbing again.
