Lili - Good luck with your StepBet!

Helen - In spite of all the computer fiddling time, I’d say your week looks pretty productive.

Cleda - I think you deserve a badge for doing all that yoga!

Thankyou SO much for the Sadhana. It's keeping me sane with DH away and computer frustrations. I've been doing them first as there's no dread and it sets me in a more positive mood for the rest of the day whereas I'd rather schlump the hours away doing little bits of stuff here & there but not really achieving anything, which then makes me feel worse. THANK YOU!!

LILI
Oh I've felt like throwing a total 'Karen' a few times over the screen problem.
Adriene's dog makes me feel homey, being a blue cattle dog - quite ubiquitous here. Everyone knows someone who has one. They're a lovely breed.
You've jumped into a StepBet?! You'll be fine.

CLEDA
You did YOGA?!?!

COMPUTER
Long story short - no success on what I was trying to achieve, but I'm back to fully functional with a clean/tidy desk & the new computer.
With DH away, the workouts kept me from wallowing in the misery of defeat.
Buddy Kathryn helped as well.

Good morning of the 14th!

Wed., 13th Jan.
33min, Tim - 30 Day Challenge - Day 03 to start my day, for Sadhana
60min, dog walk/training

That was it as focused the day on weeding the cacti - there's a succulent weed that had invaded almost all the pots. It's referred to as "mother of millions" and I know WHY!



It's Thursday, so have knee surgeon appointment today, 5:45pm. Feeling a bit nervous about it.

Oh THANK YOU for thinking of me.

I just came on to let you know what happened!

He's assuming reconstruction surgery. I COULD survive by adapting as I have been, always thinking about placement so knee never twists, but it takes constant thought. BUT apparently the diagnosis from the imaging company was poor - ACL definitely in two pieces, but they said minor horizontal tear of meniscus. It's a MAJOR VERTICAL tear, which could mean it flips over and folds between the two bones unexpectedly. What I've been doing is relying on the meniscus for stability, which won't last. I could continue to do that and avoid the reconstruction now, but it'll most likely lead to needing a complete knee replacement several years down the line - better to reconstruct now.

He was really good about the 'age' thing - didn't believe in 'letting it go' due to my age. Said that a 35 yr old surgeon probably wouldn't advise reconstruction, but this one is the same age as me!

I'm to STOP any jumping, squats, aerobics, step, ... He's written to the physio for him to give me either a programme or a list of do's and don'ts. I'll go ASAP for that (tomorrow if I can). Also need a more detailed MRI & CT scan. Again, ASAP.

So I'm walking Alice, for max 30 min at a time until advised otherwise. Not even yoga (eg no warriors), no squats, ...

Physio advised two kind of squats, slow lightly weighted, and fast sit'n' stands, BUT he only had the written diagnosis, which had the meniscus error. He showed me the image, and I could see the torn part.

He did chuckle though, that the injury happening whilst doing a 180 jump on roller skates was the first he'd seen.

Helen - making the surgeon chuckle, shows your spunk! It will be hard to take it easy until & after surgery, but it will be worth it in the long term. Good luck with all of it. I'm sure your tenacity will see you through.
