The Espys

One thing Bill & I have in common is that we LOVE a great sports story or movie. You know the ones...the underdog overcomes huge odds to finally win the game. "Remember the Titans", "Invincible", "Rudy", and "We Are Marshall" are some of our favorites. We both get chills and sometimes cry at the end...we love that stuff!

Well last night we watched The Espys...ESPN's awards show to honor great American athletes. We were inspired to see the story of the girl who blew out her knee while rounding first base after hitting a home run, and the girls on the opposing team picked her up & carried her around the bases. And the story of the Buffalo Bills player Kevin Everett who against all odds is walking after fracturing his spine causing a serious spinal chord injury.

Well this morning I am awarding my own Espy to Bill. He is really doing well this morning. He is able to walk around on the knee now & has been able to increase his CPM machine to 108 degrees of flexion...which is excellent for 5 days post-op. He really never complains about his situation and is always positive about his recovery. You can often hear him saying..."I have no pain...God is soooo good!" Bill has a doctor's apt. on Thursday to get the sutures out and begin physical therapy. Our TV room is where Bill's been camping out...and yes the remote has been his friend during this time but he has been able to play with the kids a little & read stories to them.

Happy Monday everyone!
