Randycom's Journal, 09 March 2018

My last weigh-in for Fat Secret was 10-13-2017. On October 22, 2017, I fell off my front steps while carrying an approximately 60 pound box, and shattering both my legs below the knees down to the ankles and was hospitalized for 4 days, (after surgery on both legs and numerous plates, screws and rods used to repair my legs); almost 2 weeks of Intensive in-patient physical and occupational therapies at Frazier Rehab Institute in Louisville, KY, another 2 months of Home Health care (OT and PT) and 3 months of out-patient physical therapy (still attending PT). During this time of dealing with trauma to my legs and being limited on what I could do, I learned to control my portions in conjunction with all the physical therapies every day. The healing process and exercise is what I believe jump started by metabolism. As of today I have lost 35 pounds since Oct 22, 2017. I continue to heal and give my all in physical therapy.
235.0 lb Lost so far: 35.0 lb.    Still to go: 55.0 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

Sorry about the leg. I guess a bad thing happen for a good reason; the weight loss. More importantly, learning to control portions. How your PT continues to go well.

Wow! My first thought was what a horrible freak accident. So sorry! Something like that one never would have thought or prepared for. Since you were in the military you probably were thinking something could have happened there that would be more life changing. But no...it happened when carrying that box! Congrats on making and working on getting mended and your weight loss!

You are amazing and definitely an inspiration! If anyone had all the excuses in the world it would have been you, but look what you did instead, amazing! What Perseverance! Congratulations on what you've achieved.
