Week 14 and 15- Sometimes I feel like I live in a zoo

No, literally I am at the zoo a lot :). My sister's in-laws got her and I passes as well as the three kids so I take them all the time and let me tell you it adds a whole new facet to my training. The three of them together weigh around 80 pounds give or take. This was during week 14 and we loved it. I also was getting strength tested and ready to see my surgeon week 15.

Is this what they mean by light free weights?

Week 15 was a huge break through for me. My Surgeon saw me and he said I was way farther than he thought I would have gone. It was so awesome to hear that from such a prestigious doctor. All because of God's grace. I can't believe these blessings. I passed all of my strengths tests from him and the surgery was deemed a success. He never gave up on me like all of the doctors before me. He is why I now believe that not everyone needs to believe in you or even think that something is possible but you just need one that is willing to help. My leg is proof of that. 

This injury that would "never heal"
