My physio saw it in my face this week as I walked in. “We need to get some progression before you lose it”. Yep, he got that right..............

Never in my life do I accept what people tell me, particularly with regard to health issues. I love a good research project and Dr Google helps me provide advice to family members and friends, a quality of mine which must be quite annoying (just ask my dad!).............
Tuesday is physio day. Starting the day the same each week, I convince myself that this Tuesday is going to be the day I hear the magic words, "yes, it's straight". But I don't. The Tuesday just gone, was no different to the last few Tuesday’s, straighter but not f$&king straight enough.............
Despite the water being freezing (a chilly 24 degrees), I have been forcing myself to go swimming. I even went at 5.30am the other day. I had to, it was a hair wash day according to my curly girl routine.......
Constantly analysing my every move is exhausting. Is my leg straight? Can I see more of my knee? Why is it hurting today? Why can't I run yet? What do you mean, no core strength? It just never stops........
Despite going for a swim on Sunday, I was pretty down about things when I went to bed. I noticed cellulite on my thighs that wasn't there before, I was still swollen, my knee had been sore all day and I felt like I had come to an abrupt stand still.........
I have always just put up with swimming. If the truth be told, I hate it. But now it seems like it’s the only thing I can do (sans legs and with a pull buoy). BTW, sitting on a stationary bike does not count.............
It was officially the start of the dry yesterday and it actually rained (more than once!). What’s the go with that? I thought I’d said goodbye to frizzy hair for the next 4 months but oh no........
