Thank you

Also forgot work Xmas party was Sunday lil sad and upset I wasn’t invited someone mentioned it but then msg me Sunday saying she was told not to invite me cos am off work yet when seen pictures 2 girls who on maternity for 12 months and have months before back where at party so felt a bit left out especially as hardly spoken to anyone from work and no one visited me in 6 months even when been at most depressed and dark place.

Probably why used forum and loved support been given an love meant so so much

That sucks, I’ve been off now for three months op, hope your ok. I’m recovering from radiotherapy (cancer of the throat)

I’ll never be the same I know that, walked into my friends butchers shop yesterday, he didn’t recognise me at first, then the shock hit him, lol

It’s not easy I know I suffer with spinal stenosis too so walking is very painful, I have a walking stick to help, but it’s still not easy !!

You show them all, get better and keep positive

If you need a friend to chat to, I am here ..

Don’t panic I don’t fancy men

Had physio session today and wow oh wow oh wow ??

Did my rehab exercises and each time he was made up how great I did em an looked, gave me dumb bells to do with em see if still steady and I was.

had a go on a mini trampoline ended a mini jog and balance was perfect how feet hit trampoline and how steady I was and again perfect.

Did single leg squats again excellent even on my operated knee.

FINALLY standing on step block on highest level hop off it onto floor on 1 leg first the good side 3 times all perfect (shows strength and control) then right operated side 1st time ouch and bad balance and shape, 2nd good jump an land then lost balance cos pain. 3rd good hop an land with perfect balance (told given 3 always as 1 bad, 2 semi to gain confidence and 3 brings together to realise strength and confidence that knee fixed.

Sooooo I have final session booked for 31/12/18 so can end year with successful completion and discharge from physio rehab.

Also he said cos strength (many ppl wouldn’t make the 3 jumps till later) I can start gentle running again which is wow my excitement nearly hit roof to be back out running after 1.5 yrs since Did the injury 2.5 yrs which led to damaged knee socket and constant pain an suffering and then me falling into heavy depression

Thank you everyone for the support an love 5 more weeks an am back to work. Much love to you all.
