Full of energy, yesterday I checked in at the Medical Park St. Hubertus here in Bad Wiessee. No, unfortunately not for a vacation – the second block of rehab awaits me now!

For the next three weeks, the focus will be entirely on myself, my health, and my two knee replacements, so that I can regain full function and mobility.

I have to say, there are worse places to complete your rehab. Beautifully situated in the middle of nature and right on Lake Tegernsee, what more can I expect? I hope I have enough time to enjoy it all, because today I received the exact schedule.

Just looking at it makes me sweat. Up to six sessions every day to get myself and my body back in shape. Physiotherapy, massages, muscle building, nutrition, mobilization, and many doctor's appointments will be my daily companions for the next few weeks. I'm highly motivated and confident that things will continue to move forward here!

The fact that I'm able to complete my rehab here in this fantastic facility is mainly an achievement of the German Ski Federation, and especially the Nordic department. I'd like to express my sincere gratitude for that!

I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone from near and far for their wishes! I was very happy about each and every one. This motivates me even more to give it all and get back to my old self as quickly as possible!

Yours sincerely, Peter Riedel
