After nearly 2 months in a cast, I’m definitely getting a little bored and frustrated now… listening to my body means I’ve ventured out less. Before this accident, I was able to go to the gym 3-5 times a week … I do not like exercise – but I feel great knowing I’ve done something good for my body. I will not see a gym for a good 6-9 months (apparently) and diabetes looms if I put on weight, so I checked Youtube and found a useful exercise video. A day or two later I had a dream. A blond, pony-tailed, bikini-clad surgeon was drilling in to my knee. As I tried to tell her my knee was fine, she (belatedly) put a gas mask over my face, twice.. somehow I managed to escape. Once I woke up … I was able to identify the surgeon:

Amazing how, after the initial shock, it takes relatively little time to adapt to the new ‘norm’. I bummed up the stairs with a heavy bag of wet washing yesterday.. which takes a while. As I got to the top I realised it felt completely normal to do it this way. I’m completely amazed at the human brain and body… it is SO adaptable… and tries its best under any circumstances. Whilst I have had visions of never walking properly again, my body seems to know where it’s going…. and I think it’s marching forward… with or without me.jx
Ain't we got it made?
