Colleen, oh I am so so sorry about the crutches. Besides being a huge nuisance, they just plain wear you out. We get so used to being independant. Your arms and good leg are sure going to get a good workout and you'll be so strong in those areas!! And using the crutches will most certainly be an aerobic workout.

Hang in there. I hope the orthopedic surgeon can give you some needed good news.

I'm going to the PA tomorrow. My foot has improved every day. But as your knee proves, pain isn't always an indication of the damage. We'll see what they have to say about my foot.

On the diet front, I do have a LITTLE bit of good news - 1/2 lb of it. I'm now at 10 lbs down (got past the 9 1/2 I was at for a month) I know it's only 1/2, but I'll take it :D

Don, I'm so pleased for you about being down another 2 lbs yesterday. Your consistency is wonderful. 2 lbs, by 2 lbs (or more) you'll get where you want to be and feel so much better for it!!! :app:
