Today, after an entire year spent in physical therapy recovering from three knee surgeries, I finally returned to doing light agility exercises and running on a treadmill. When I told my therapist I had never been so happy and proud, he responded with, "This usually only takes 5 months, pussy." FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, after a month and a half of recovering from a sprained ankle, I was back in the gym training. After a grueling, sweaty session on the treadmill, I tripped walking down the stairs which sprained my other ankle. Back to round one. FML
Today, I was finally able to come home after 4 months in a hospital recovering from brain surgery and physical therapy. While taking a walk around the neighborhood, my new neighbor's Rottweiler ran after me. I tripped while running, got bit, and went back to the hospital for stitches. FML
Today, I'm celebrating one year of retirement. Also, almost one year of recovering from a broken leg, quickly followed by a broken hip. I may never walk correctly again. FML
Today, I tore my ACL while doing physical therapy that's supposed to keep me from tearing my ACL. FML
Today, I was discharged from the hospital after having scrotal surgery. When I got home, the anesthetic had worn off, but I felt okay. Then my dog jumped up at me, paws slamming straight into my nuts. FML
Today, after spending two hard months losing 20 pounds of my 80 pound goal, I was actually excited to exercise. After I was done exercising, I fell down the stairs and broke my ankle. FML
Today, I finally got my son to go for a run. He broke his neck 4 months ago and has been playing video games the entire time. I was a competitive runner once and run everyday. He kicked my ass, 21 minutes for the first 5k and he sped up. He was back playing video games when I finally got home. I think I lost a lung on the trails. FML
Today, I was getting ready for work. When I stepped back, my ankle rolled and my fat ass landed on it with my foot sideways under me. Now I’m in a boot for 6 weeks and have 6 weeks of physical therapy ahead of me. FML
Today, I had a swollen knee, and was slowly limping to the toilet. All of a sudden, my mom ran past me, beating me to it. As she closed the door, she said, "AT LEAST I CAN RUN!" FML
Today, I got back to work from a 4 month hospital stay and I joked with my boss that after so long away, I’m not planning on being sick again for years. Two hours later, a coworker knocked me down the stairs. A dislocated hip and a broken femur requiring 4-6 weeks of recovery. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

As a therapist i know your PT didn't call you a pussy. Next, they said it takes 5 months because we use rehab protocols so that can dictate when it's safe to progress. You must have not been doing your home exercises or being a wimp and not wanting to push yourself.

just because you are a therapist DOES NOT mean you know what OPs therapist did or didnt say. and you guys can have protocols. doesnt mean you can dictate how long a person will take to progress as every person is different.

OP if I were you I kick him in the happy part and make him sterile so his rudeness isn't past to the next generation

everyone recovers at their own pace. what's good for someone else may not be good for you.

Not a very good therapist you've got there...they're supposed to help support you and lift you up, not bring you down. And congrats, at least you got to where you are. :)

Well that's rude, some people take longer to heal than others. I've had knee surgery too op I'm one year may 6. And I'm just starting to do little jog in place movements with my knee. I still can't run so good for you getting to this milestone

don't listen to him OP ur doing great. that kind of surgery can be really taxing,taking it slow means your doing it right.
