Yes you read the title right and can you believe it! On Monday I saw my Rehab Consultant’s Registrar, I had not met him before but he was nice and explained things well. I explained that following my surgery I got severe cramp and spasms which I expected as the muscles had been rebuilt. This […]

I was going to write a blog about the Registrar meeting but wanted to sleep on it as I wasn’t really sure how I felt, I still don’t so I am going to leave that till tomorrow and cover what happened Lynne.

Yesterday was another gloriously sunny day which gave me another opportunity to go for a walk with Dad and Cody (my Labrador). Back up the track again today and I was hoping to do my walk in under 20mins. The walk out, as normal, was a bit slow as everything is against me so I […]
