Sorry I haven't posted for a while but there hasn't really been much news.
I've been continuing with the Hydro and I was supposed to have a review with the consultant on Monday but that has been postponed until the 18th May.
In preparation for the consultants appointment, I went for a review by one of the physios at Heatherwood so that they could write a report basically advising that my knee is not making any improvement and that something needs to be done. The physio review went really well and she was pleased with the strength I have built up in the muscles at the top of my leg which is great news.
One of my friends has advised me to make a list of all the things that I now can't do because of the problems with my knee which I will take with me when I go to see the consultant in May. This should add weight to our request that they look at more options than just physio, especially now that my left knee has started to give me a few minor problems!
Over the past few weeks, I have discovered that although I feel fine apart from the problems with my knee, I get tired quicker than I used to and therefore I can't do as much as before. I learnt this from experience when I got to a point where I was no use to anyone as I had used all the energy I had.
I am now trying to plan my weeks so that I still get to meet up with friends etc but that I don't end up with no energy left by the weekend. This has been difficult as my head still goes "it's OK, I can do it" when in reality this is not the case and I push myself too hard.
There is no news on the car front yet. Hopefully, I should have it by the end of May. Then comes the challenge of learning to drive it with my left foot!
That's about it for now...will hopefully fit in another post next week.
Hope you're having a good week.
