"Knee Day" Came and Went

Hi All,  Just a quick message as my happy pills have started to kick in and all the letters are starting to blend into one big kalidescope looking thing LOL!

I had my knee operation on Wednesday and on top of the Arthroscope I also needed to have a Lateral Release as it was a little messier than he first thought.  Watch a video of Arthroscopy with Lateral Release HERE

I will also need to go back under again to have my patella fixed as he said that it is very unstable.  As yet I am unsure what that will involve as I was too out of it to ask any questions, but for now recovering from this op is my first priority anyhow.

On the recovery side of things apart from my blood pressure being low (hence why I am so pale - see picture below) and ofcourse the pain which is to be expected (and being managed by happy pills), I am doing OK and am even managing to hobble around slowly - no marthons just yet (dizzy spells are another side effect of low blood pressure).

My little boy Ace (7) is sick with a Lung Infection and so he and I have been spending our days snuggling which has been lovely - but I am hoping that he feels better soon now that he has antibiotics.



Anyway, this evening I had a teary moment where I was feeling sore and sorry for myself but I got this message from my Personal Trainer giving me the kick up the butt I needed...

'You are tough, there isn't much that will stop you except for you feeling sorry for yourself so SNAP OUT OF IT!'

I sent him a message saying thank you and that's what I pay ya for LOL, nice to know he can kick my butt even when hes not torturing me in the gym.

Well everyone, time for me to go riding on my magic carpet to enter La La Land.  Will keep you updated!

xoxo
