    A bit of good news

    Well, I'm not exactly on the home straight by any means, but something very significant has happened in my life over the past couple of months. Anyone who has read my posts will know that I was suffering with a knee injury for nearly a year and a half. Well, I can't quite believe I'm saying this, but I've now been pain-free for over two months and today I ran 5k for the first time in 18 months - completely pain-free. I've seen so many different specialists over the past year and a half so I still don't really know what has fixed the pain. All I know is that I feel like I've got some hope now and I'm very, very grateful.

    I'm crying with joy. You know I've empathised with your injury and I'm absolutely bowled over by this news
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Oh, Paula, thank you! You in particular were so kind and supportive in those dark days I went through. Rose, there could be something in that - the daily walks with the puppy got me back into exercising and I guess I finally found the right physio

    Thanks Suzi. You run such an amazing forum and have been such a lifeline to me. I'm by no means out of the woods but wanted to post a little happy update, I guess, to keep people informed and maybe give hope to other people who think they are never going to get better. I'm starting to think that you CAN get better, and that's not something I could ever imagine before.
