Good grief!

I have just got home from my first exercise class and I don't know what was worse... the exercises or Andre the physio following me around and tormenting me!!!

The exercises were what I expected and I got through them OK, they were hard but that is what they are designed to be, else there'd be no point doing them. But yes Andre... it all started with him walking into my bike at the warm up and announcing to the entire gym that I'd tried to run him over! This shouting to the entire gym continued throughout the entire hour long class! Memorable quotes include "Ladies and gentlemen she's a player", and "Everytime Louise stops the time stops and holds you all (the rest of the class) up". Great! He knows what he is talking about but no one else got this 'special' treatment. HA! I gave him the finger as I left so no doubt I'll have some fabulous comments on Thursday!

Gosh I ache all over!! I've taken all sorts of painkillers!

Step it up a notch...

Tomorrow I start my exercise class at the physio gym... I'm excited, how sad am I? Very is the answer! My main concern is what to wear!

I had a clinic appointment on Thursday and didn't see my consultant, I saw one of his "team". Who didn't seem to know too much about, well, anything really! He said something along the lines of it being too early to tell if my knee is good, I don't think I really got him but he didn't seem bothered, said that the ligament is good because it's not too tight or too loose. I asked him if I could drive and he said yes because you mainly use your ankle to drive!! That was lost on me but I went out for a drive on Thursday and it was fine. The reason Georgie had been reluctant to let me is because when you do an emeregency stop you straighten your leg fully which is dangerous to the new ligament, but when I push the clutch down all the way, I don't fullen extend my leg. So I guess I'll be just fine.
