8 week anniversary

Hi all

Today is 8 weeks since my operation and here is a quick update on how I am getting on.

In terms of residual pain I can say that I am able to walk downstairs with each leg normally with very little pain but it is much better after Catharine has massaged the area immediately above my knee and I have completed my exercises. The major area of residual pain is on the outside of my knee cap which changes throughout the day. I still get very tired but I am conscious that I am only 8 weeks in and that I am really very mobile.

Last week I managed to get out for my first race on my yacht! Note that I am in a leg elevated position while helming!

Yesterday I went for a 3 mile walk which included this particular challenge. The Afon Braint stones on Anglesey.

Here is the comfortable angle of movement as I drive my van
















So all in I am very content with my progress and have had an initial discussion with Jurate about the right knee replacement for the now failed partial.
