Physio begins
Had my first physio appointment this morning - didn't start auspiciously with a 7am beginning and us having a bit of trouble finding the building! Whoever designed Olympic park so the place where people who need physio are treated is miles away from the road ... well *gr*
My physio Kylie is great though - I have to admit I am a bit of a wuss with pain so some of the initial physio had me wincing but my knee felt a lot better afterwards. I have to do these exercises 3 times a day - all trying to build up my very slow quads and bend my knee - I won't lie and say it doesn't hurt but it is getting easier.
Am finally walking around the house crutchless/braceless - and up stairs as well! Extremely slowly, and when I go out I still need them but it feels quite fast forward for an operation that was two weeks ago! Tomorrow I make my first outside appearance - going to my youngest brother's speech night - yey!
