At some point in time we have all been hurt or sick. Sometimes it takes more than a doctor to help you heal correctly. I have had two knee surgeries and I am sadly going on my third. Through all the tears and laughter, I have found that some of the people that help me heal the most are my physical therapist, so...

1. Thank you for helping me understand it is only temporary.

2. Thank you for knowing I am in pain.

3. Thank you for pushing me to the limit.

4. Thank you for not caring that my leg was really hairy after surgery.

5. Thank you for making me smile when I was in horrible pain.

6. Thank you for the amazing massages you give.

7. Thank you for laughing when I think I can do something but I fail miserably at it.

8. Thank you for the candy you have given me to make my day a little better.

9. Thank you for letting me rant about whatever I want to.

10. Thank you for understanding that I do not like how my body looks because I am hurt.

11. Thank you for helping me get better.

12. Thank you for sharing part of your life with me.

13. Thank you for putting the crazy amount of ice you put on my leg.

14. Thank you for keeping the rest of me as active as I can be.

15. Thank you for caring about me and helping me heal.

To all the physical therapist out there, you really are very special people to the patients you help. You all go out of your way to make our days better. You all know what to say when we get discouraged. With out you all I would not have been able to finish my high school sport and run a triathlon. You all have taught me many lessons. You all have healed me more then you will ever know.

Thank you to my physical therapist.
