After only 2 weeks scars and holes look so much better! After only 2 weeks scars and holes look so much better!

Every day, for a month, the thrombosis shot: I HATED THAT!

At the end, my poor belly showed purple bruises all over due to the shots!

My first walk by Höchst along the Main river!

I had to re-learn how to walk correctly, that was really hard!

The Torture Place!


Loosing my concentration for the photographer, Karen!! Warming up: 30 minutes biking!!


Building up muscles!! I hated this one!!

After 8 weeks of therapy, I was walking quite correctly, without too much limp: this is when I said goodbye to the therapy center!

I went on biking and walking regularly, gradually and my leg just got stronger.

On June 13th, 2007 I was running my first race of the year, the JP Morgan Chase Lauf in Frankfurt!

On June 22nd, 2007 I run the Wallau Mittsommerlauf, a 10kms race.

A year later, in March 2008, I am back into normal life or quite normal! Pains in my knee or in the leg remind me that my knee isn´t the same anymore!
