Nine months post surgery. Things are progressing ok I think.
Slowly, but ok.
I’ve recently started running again. Only for 20/30 minutes at a time. It’s quite
tough but I’m persevering. I get twinges
in my knee but it’s my shin that really hurts. This morning I strapped my shin up quite tightly and it was much
better. Even though I’ve been swimming
two or three times a week since February I feel quite unfit and I have to take a
breather half way through my jog. But it
will get easier, I’m sure of it. No more
half marathons for a while though ...
I was managing high can can kicks at a dance rehearsal last
week. At first I didn’t think I’d be
able to do it as it involves jumping on one leg but really it’s just a
confidence thing.
Kneeling down now and leaning back on my heels is much
easier. It’s not 100% comfortable but
much better than it was.
I had a sports massage on my knee a couple of weeks ago which felt fantastic and I ran up the stairs afterwards! Going back for another massage tomorrow. I've been thinking about accupuncture for the swelling and discomfort but it's ridiculously expensive and I'm not even sure it would work.
And I’ve been able to wear heels from time to time which
feels great.
So that’s the recent news from PCL repair land. Would love to hear from anyone going through this.
One reason to go running - the gorgeous summer scenery!
