One week

Today is day 7 since I was sliced apart. The swelling is beginning to go down assisted by ice packs. Went to physio yesterday, and she gav me another six exercises to do, and emphasised that ice would help greatly with reducing the swelling. So, I've been plundering the freezer, pulled out a ice pack, wrapped a pillow case around it and plonked it on my knee. I can almost walk normally up stairs, but coming down is still uncomfortable.

Beginning to get ever so slightly fed up not being able to move around. And I am really beginning to miss doing any exercise. Keep telling myself that only boring people get bored, well perhaps so. Keep telling myself that short term loss is long term gain.

Dread to imagine how unfit I'm going to become by the time I'm allowed to row again.
