Not the Ending I Hoped For

Well, for a moment, there was hope. My doctor thought my knee(s) have just suffered from over use. He prescribed rest and a therapeutic dose of Ibuprophen. I rested and I popped pills like crazy. I went to physical therapy and accupuncture. But it didn't get enough better. Even just walking can produce a sharp pain.

So STP left without me yesterday. Sad.

I'm not sorry I tried, and I'm not sorry I went through the fundraising process. Reaching out to everyone I know and receiving such a heartfelt response was an amazing experience. And numerous people I know have been diagnosed or lost their battle with all kinds of cancer in these few months. It has been wonderful to feel like I was doing something to help.

But it's not what I wanted. And I'm not sure where to go from here. I'll keep you posted...
