Super F2F physio session today - bending the new knee to 100 degrees now, able fo straight leg lift, tried walking normally on the stairs and could. But apparently I have a very long stride and walk very quickly for someone who has just had a new knee 😂 - but ahead of all recovery milestones 🙌🙌

I got a new knee on Friday! All went well (although the level of pain on Friday pm/Saturday was horrific). Pain is much more manageable now and I am recovering at home - but this will keep me out of action for a bit.
Incredible care from the Spire hospital at Macclesfield.

At the fracture clinic again - hoping to be told that driving is back on (after 5 weeks in the walking boot) and that I can wear the boot a bit less 🤞

All positive at the fracture clinic. 2 more weeks of boot on pretty much all the time and then can start wearing it a bit less. No driving for 4 weeks. But shouldn’t affect my knee replacement at the end of Oct.

Off to the fracture clinic today - hopefully will know how many more weeks I am in the snazzy boot and when I can drive again 🤞🤞

After 4 days of being housebound with a stress fracture in my ankle and a snazzy walking boot to wear at all times, I took a break from elevating and icing it to go for ice cream at Pomeroy Farm - luckily it was a few metres from the car park to the picnic tables - I didn’t drive obviously!

So as well as horrible knee pain, I also have a stress fracture in my ankle so will be wearing this item of high fashion for the next 6 weeks and will not be able to drive. Currently a mixture of angry and upset. Holiday plans to London and and Norfolk Coast won’t be happening, nor will swimming.

Tears of relief here - surgeon has said yes and that they will be in contact in the next couple of weeks to offer me a date for my left knee replacement, and then I can have the other one done shortly after. A very good outcome.

Little bit of an art project for the courtyard - good work @ahageog.bsky.social!
That garden store is going and will be replaced by a corner bench and some sort of wooden canopy.
