Note
(injured)

Arthroscopy went well yesterday, alrhough l wouldn't be in a hurry to be re-admitted to hospital. The major issue was that l hadn't read the bit in the instructions about fasting including no water and had drunk 4 larges glasses before leaving home. The nurses were horrified but the anaesthetist fine with it, so all went well in the end. My sister eventually arrived and took me to her house at Mornington, where l plonked onto the couch and watched Skyfall and then Salmon Fishing in the Yemen. l never just sit and watch videos, so enjoyed them, the waiter service and the view. A lifestyle l could get used to.
l haven't any medical results other than that they shaved a bit off the bone and pinned up the cartlilage, which has got somewhat thin. l am hoping this won't lead to the suggestion of not running. Anyway, l have an appointment with the surgeon on Thursday, so will see then. My knee feels fine, but l am following the recovery instructions to the letter, just to be sure and to give it the maximum chance of recovering fully.

Tomorrow is my big day. l have to be at Vimy House in Kew at 7am. The biggest issue has been who is coming to get me and who is staying overnight as the hospital wont perform the procedure without this detail. Even my work colleagues were starting to look promising. Luckily my one relatve in Victoria (sister) is available, but l have to go with her to Mornington for the weekend. So l cant even help on Sunday at the SS event , which my club is running. l am looking forward to getting rid of my 'injured' status.

Yoga 1:00:00 [2]
(injured)

Nice session of yoga in the DSE - no, now the DEPI gym - after work. I have a substantial number of bruises and grazes from the weekend, which made some of the poses awkward. Both knees are sore - still, we wouldn't want the hospital on Saturday thinking there was nothing wrong with me- even though l look more like a victim of domestic violence rather than an athlete with a sports injury. My ring even has a chip in the gold!
