Dec 25th

Hello happy christmas and all that.

Knee nearly better when I'm able to kneel without pain then I'm ready. As someone once said I'll be back.

Loads of great prezzies and dinner to come.

Hurrah.

Work and stuff

Started work again on Monday, hundreds of emails to read and one system would'nt open for three days. And techno geeks wonder why ordinary cardigans like me get so frustrated with technology. Anyway, started light weight training also with the intention of keeping rowing core muscles in some shape. Mostly arms, chest, back, shoulders, and core abs. Mingle my physio exercises among the weight sets and stretches. Bit sore and stiff but better than nothing, and I see it as the pavement on the road to recovery.

Saturday trains...just hate 'em. Give me commuter trains any day, weekends are packed with dawdling, drifting families, children, and general have'nt got a clue where Im going types who just stop dead with no warning at the top of stairs & escalators. Roll on Monday morning.

Whilst Im on the theme, West Anglia Great Northern or WAGN my local train company are utter tossers. They refuse to open the doors of standing trains until the unit has joined up with the arriving unit, because of health and safety ! So we the paying travller stand huddles like idiots subject to the vagaries of the weather waiting for the doors to be opened by some over unionised twat. Feel better thank you.

crumbly knee

Surgeon said I have a crumbly knee, and my left knee cap is worn to the bone. Thought he was going to say no more ergo / rowing but he did'nt when I pointed out it was non load bearing. He did say that everything else where in my knee was fine and strong. Got quite despondent later when he said the future (15yrs) may be a new knee cap or joint. Then became quite self piteous, which I despised and detest. Had a whinge at home, Jay listened, cuddled and spoke. Felt much better this morning and hope springs eternal and all that. So stay with the physio, glucosamine and vitamins until Jan 06, when we hope to start gentle ergo / row again.

Recuperation

Recuperation & repairs go well. Off to see the surgeon later today and hoping he will say " Young man, off to the river and ergo for you " . However, he will probably say don't go anywhere near either until mid Jan or you will be hobbling for the rest of yer days !
