First, I love the sandles and the color of the nail polish!
Second, how long do you have to wear your brace? (legs still look good)
Third, love the kitty!

I saw this and thought of you.

Love the flip flops!

@ sock marks

I don't think your legs look bad. My friend has a scar from the top of the kneecap to the bottom of it, it's about 12 inches long.

Cute kitty!

OK here are some knee pics:

This is the brace I have to wear:

A little closer up:

I've got 5 incisions total, you can see them a little better here....this pic is from about 1 week ago or so. You can really see how much muscle I've lost....

Oh and from today, Lindsay just had to get involved with the picture taking....LOL

I'll send you a pic of my knee's, it will make you feel MUCH better about your scarage! I have about 13 inches in 12 different places on one knee and 3 on the other.... you look great! They will fade in about 6 months.

Thanks all!!

Q-Tip: LOVE LOVE LOVE that .gif image......Definitely saving that.....

Cali: Oh I can imagine - I've seen some zippers at PT....I'm using Mederma on the scars so I'm hoping they fade....but I scar bady - scars on me don't heal well....but if they look too too badly I may have them redone by a plastic surgeon....

CK - Thanks!! Just got the toes done yesterday.......I will have to wear the brace anytime I'm out & about (like the store, etc) & will have to wear it skiing next year. Now I see my Dr. again 5/22 so I may not have to wear it everywhere all summer (I hope!!)

Great shoes and pics. Though it still makes the backs of my legs tingle when I think about what you've been through

Hiya Jens! Hope you're feeling ok today & that the leg isn't hurting.

I have a question on an old thread of yours regarding milk. http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?t=324048&highlight=eliminating+dairy

I wasn't sure if I should post on something that old so I thought I would ask if you did in fact cut out dairy and if so, what were the results?

I think I may be developing an intolerance to dairy and I'm getting ready to cycle out dairy. Probably replace it with a soy based product.

Heyyyyy Q-tip!! I ended up, yes, cutting out dairy from my diet for the most part & pretty much still do, tho I do eat cottage cheese & yogurt occasionally........Seems that without it, my stomach is flatter.....

Perfect timing - Thank you so much!

Today is grocery shopping day and I was sitting here eating sweet potatoe & some salmon while making my grocery list. It might take a while to cycle out the eggs cuz I have 2.5 dozen in the fridge.
