Oops xmas happened. No excuse, but rather an explanation. Now to get back on the wagon!

Apart from family issues ( kids didn’t contact me, and uncle is terminal now), something popped at the back of my knee while doing the physio exercises Christmas Eve. Physios not replying last week although she is there as reception told me. Physio told me before this happened to just do the exercises I could, as supplied by surgeons physio. I asked for direction, I needed direction, but alas none was forthcoming. Pop!

See the surgeon tomorrow, local doctor thinks or agrees with me that it’s likely the hamstring which was where the graft was taken from for the new ACL in November. The hamstring was also badly sprained by the physio in September, so I am assuming it was still vulnerable at the time of the op.
Anyway treating it as hamstring injury seems to be working although has slowed me down in recovery, which means im stuck at home longer. Mental health impacted, and comfort eating sneaks in, plus Xmas, did I mention Xmas. Ah that is life. Accept it, move on.

Overall only a couple of kilos gained over the whole xmas new year period. I can accept that.

So now, back on my way of eating. I know what works for my body. And diligence, focus, plan some things to do once I am fully mobile again. Get some dreams to focus on to help me move forward.

I'm sorry to read about what's been going on for you. Xmas is such a rollercoaster of food and emotions-it can be a time of extremes. Sorry about your family too. But your poor knee! You've been through so much, and done a lot of work, followed all the recommendations, been the model patient! You have an amazing attitude, and your focus on the future and your health is to be admired and emulated! I hope you get some clarity from the physios soon 💚

Thanks Aitch11. It's just so frustrating when you're doing the right things. As for Xmas, it is what it is. I just need to stay focussed on the things I can control, like what I eat.
