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.
