Groovy.

Just returned from my first session of physio since the operation to remove the metalwork, and it was pretty good. I dunno what she did to the back of my knee, but now when I bend it as far as it'll go, (a) it goes a little bit further, and (b) it no longer feels like my kneecap is about to pop off if I bend it a millimetre further. Which is quite reassuring.

It feels better just walking too. I suspect that's the best and wisest 40 quid I've spent lately.

Excellent! Take it easy on the leg though - even if the physio makes it feel better putting undue strain on it will make it worse again - but then, you already know that :) x

Congrats, Denny. It can be a slow, painful road back to full fitness, but take it at your level and you'll get your movement back in the leg eventually. The trick is not to rush things.
I was very much aware of your motorbike accident when it happened; you remember the Winston Churchill pub, in Dunstable? Chris announced that you'd had the accident when it happened and how he wished (for all of us) that you made a good recovery.

While my surgery was nothing like the scale of yours, it's the recovery that gets frustrating, wanting your life back the way it was, wanting things back to normal. I'm now back in the gym but as yet am unable to so leg lifts with any weights. Fruatrating as I say, but I must be patient. My knee will recover, eventually, as will your leg, I'm sure. Just don't lose hope :)

Great to hear that you're up and about. If your physio suggests that massage might help at any point, let me know.
