OMG do I have an exciting tiny triumph today! If you asked me three days ago, I would have laughed at the suggestion that this was even possible at this stage!

oops.. maybe I overdid it a bit.. so I have been on ice ever since! Here's what I achieved today.. including 4 yes FOUR tiny triumphs!

Today is the first day of my new exercises and I'm feeling way better without staples in my kneecap too! Practicing heel strike walking (weird!) and trying to stay focussed and motivated.

1st outpatients physio appointment and the day the staples came out!

I think (hope) we are in the process of turning a tiny corner because for the second day in a row now, I have felt a lot more well in myself than I have the whole of the past two weeks and am even having a couple of pain free moments! Here's today's thoughts.  

Today has been the first day in almost two weeks where I can say I have actually felt ok most of the day (so far!)

I am conscious however, that this is not a sign to rock on down, so I am also taking it easy, but there's more exciting tiny triumphs to report today, plus here's a walking update.

I'm tying to adjust my eyes to make sure I notice all the tiny triumphs and don't miss any.. and there have certainly been a few today..

Today's mini triumphs: 

Today was a tough day. I only prefer forwards and when you do everthing you can and feel like you still stepped backwards, that is tough. 

Totally truthful reflections on the past 6 days post op, and some tough decisions that I had to make.
