Rehab Begins

So arthroscope has been and gone and a week passed, a return trip to the Surgeon for a further update to his scrounging around inside the knee.
Unfortuanetly the news wasn't as great as we had hoped pre-op and the first thought Meniscus tear was not present. Got some great happy snaps from inside the knee though and can at least tick off the list of things to do before I die - arthroscope done!

So where to now, Physiotherapy time. I may be a freak but my previous experience with Physio's from terrible ankles from Basketball and Indoor Soccer are nothing but good. Sure it's painful when they seem to be pushing and prodding in ways that the affected body part is telling you shouldn't be happening, but the relief and feeling afterwards is always one of reward, the road to recovery. Of course a few hours later and that quickly disappears and it's back to the injury pain.

So Physio we go and the knee/leg get's one hell of a workout, aggressive approach is thrown around a lot in the first session and whilst it all sounds great to getting back to normal as quickly as possible it is by no means an easy feat.

The improvement is good but it's going to be a long hard road ahead. Bring on plenty of leg lifts, curls, exercise bike and pool walking.

In between all this will be some relaxation time in the month of sport with the ongoing off-track drama of Formula 1, the AFL finals in full flight, the NRL finals just starting to heat up and the new NBL season less than two weeks away one can only wonder who needs to walk anyway, TV is the place to be.
