An Inspiring Blog - "My PCL Surgery"

I wrote an entry a while back about an injury to my PCL which occurred during a rugby practice (my blog entry titled My Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) Surgery). I wrote about the experience and my strife towards recovery after I decided to undergo a knee reconstruction surgery. The surgery has helped to improve my condition tremendously, although the journey to get to where I am today has been nothing but a real challenge.

Not long after I jotted in my PCL story, I stumbled upon a wonderful blog about a lady who experienced a similar situation. The blog rightfully known as “My PCL Surgery” outlines in great details her personal journey to recover from a PCL surgery. Known as "Skinnygurl" in her blog, the lady has captured the attention of people from the world over through her inspiring stories about her daily battle to get better after the surgery. I consider myself as one of her many fans now, and I draw a lot of strength and inspiration from her stories to move me forward in my own struggle towards recovery.

She has been kind enough to feature my PCL story in her blog. You can find her blog entry about me here. But more importantly, please take some time to browse through her stories in the blog. Her effort to document in intricate details her progress is really admirable as it clearly portrays her utter grit and determination to beat the injury. Her stories have definitely inspired me and I am hoping to do my bit to promote her blog to others. So, if you know anybody who is suffering from a PCL or an ACL injury, please introduce him/her to this blog. I hope this blog, “My PCL Surgery” which belongs to a friend of mine “Skinnygurl” will benefit others the same way it has benefited me. Thanks.
