The Pain...

It's been four weeks now since I had my rumble with the peaks of the Remarkable mountains in New Zealand and still another two weeks until I finally get in for an arthroscope. The knee seems to have somewhat settled down, although walking is still a challenge and an interesting sight whilst sleeping is a one sided non-moving affair. For someone who likes to move about sleeping is not an easy task!

Mt. Remarkable - New Zealand


While I'm somewhat down and out what better time to get the blood bubble removed from my
Six Stitches
head, nothing serious just more annoying than anything (well for the hairdresser - Deb :).
Was a weird experience firstly Doctor Peter Mangos who looked ohh so familiar to me and remarkably he mentioned it straight away as well - I'll remember a face but names forget about it - we agreed that we must have met in another world. The Doc was great and
did what he had to do, albeit six stitches to the head later and a drowsy afternoon.

The weekend was interesting with the pain switching between head and knee and me pondering which was going to make me crazier. Nothing unbearable, more of a nuisance and frustrating. Especially since we are slowly purchasing the goodies for the baby and I'm itching to start putting them together and setting up the baby's room (refuse to call it the Nursery - more on setting up in a future post, when I actually start).

The head is slowly healing and the waiting game is on until the new date for the arthroscope which is now 8th September and than the rehab begins.
