You Gotta Love Therapy

So in November I was jogging at a good pace and while jogging my knee started to stop cooperating with me. I tried to slow down, but the knee still wasn't cooperating. It got so bad that I could barely walk.
I have had problems with my shoulder and knees before, so I went to ATI Therapy. They were always great to get me fixed up, and I started getting my knee worked on. The therapists there were really great, and while they have always been super, they pushed me hard to get me as good as possible.
My therapists, Jen and Q (his nickname) pushed me hard to get myself a lot better. I still have some arthtitis in the knee joint, but I am much better than I was a month ago. I'll still do my exercises three times a week, to keep my knee in check.
Thank you ATI, for getting me back and on the way to walking again.

Yes, I Haven't Been Posting A Lot, But I Have An Excuse

I have been jogging a lot lately, trying to get my pounds lower. As of today, I am holding at 174. I was walking, jogging, and occasionally running. After a while I started having problems with my left knee. I was getting clicked while jogging, and what appeared to be inflamation at the patella.
There is a very good therapy company - ATI - which is about three blocks from my house. I called down there and they took me that very day. This was November 13th. I have been with then for years. A really bad contusion, me throwing out my right shoulder, and not this.
The therapists there are fantastic, and while I still have issues with the knee, I'm getting better. I'm starting to worry about how I'm falling apart. I don't want to be one of those people who can't get out and do some walks, etc. I guess cross-country, ice hockey, and lacrosse took it's toll on me.
I asked the therapist today if I could walk, He said not today, but tomorrow. He also said if it starts to hurt, turn around and go home.
I do two sets of exercises in the house, and I don't mind. I just want to get myself back together.
P.S. - I had an appointment with the Prostate Doctor. I'm low enough right now that I only have to go to the doc once a year.
