#JournalEverything Back from the #physio. Need #xrays of my knees. Got to wait for #GP to arrange that. Also have some emails to digest.

#JournalEverything Just had a call from the #physio, they have some cancellations so my appointment has been brought forward from 1610 to 1500. Hopefully on the way to getting these creaky knees sorted out. They are better today of course than they were on Monday when I could only hobble around after a too-long walk around #Ironbridge on Sunday. I usually go into the office on Tuesdays - by #ebike and #train but I really wasn't up to it this week so I worked from home all two and a half days (I'm #PartTime) and lucky I can work #remotely.

Recovering from a cold, all symptoms gone except a little dry cough. Started to suspect that it might be #functional / #psychogenic as I noticed that I only coughed when my attention wasn't occupied by other things.

Delighted to easily find plenty of #nhs #physio advice online on how to suppress functional coughs. All very non-stigmatising, just very straightforward info. Cough not gone but nearly, enough to be allowed back in the bedroom (I was waking the toddler up by coughing!)

God bless the NHS

#physio
Für das, dass ich vor 2 Jahren oft nicht wusste, wie ich auch innerhalb der Wohnung von A nach B komme oder wie Sachen schaffen sollte, die längeres Stehen erfordern, gehts mir jetzt echt wieder sehr gut.
Ich trau mich noch nicht alleine über stressige Strassen oder Treppen. Längeres Stehen ist auch immer noch schwierig, wobei länger jetzt 10 Min. sind und nicht mehr 2.

I went to my first hospital-based Escape Pain physio session last Wednesday. I got Norovirus. Although on the mend and able to prepare Christmas food for everyone else, I won't be eating it. Thanks.

My neck has been ridiculously tight for a couple of weeks despite all the physio, massage, and stretching. Right where my whiplash injury happened 25 years ago. But last night, while sitting on the chesterfield, something went SNAP in there, and now it's vastly improved. My range of motion in my right arm is much better. I don't know what snapped or why it did, and I don't know why it helped, but it did. @Knightky says the huge knot that was in my traps is also mostly gone. What could it have been? #PainInTheNeck #neck #whiplash #physio #recover

Found this book in the second hand charity shop. I found the idea of becoming a supple leopard irresistible!

Not sure if it's any good, but it certainly wasn't cheap new ($59.95) and is a glossy hardback with colour illustrations throughout.

Ouchy!

Resistance bands workout, lower body fine, no issue.
Get to ones that involve a lot of shoulder movement, "oh, that hurts, shit, think I might pass out".

Sit down, now it feels like someone is stabbing needles into the base of my neck and between my shoulder blades - thats new.

Time for a shower, and then the physio exercises that I am meant to be doing, instead of torturing myself with resistance bands

#running
First time I've run properly since early March - pain free - feels good. Not far, not fast but joyful.
Patience is not one of my traits so let's hope this lasts.
Thanks go to my local, free, accessible #NHS #physio

any physios specialising in aging ballers? knees and ankles are not recovering after a bad ankle sprain almost 20 weeks ago. I really dion't wanna have to "retire", it's like my one pure joy other than my kids.

Day 28 of #30DaysWild #Nature #UK

Today is 4 weeks and 3 days since I had a #TKR (total knee replacement).

I've rested to let my body heal, I've worked at my #physio exercises, gone to classes at the hospital, done my homework.

I know we are all part of nature, but today I really *felt* it, both emotionally & physically.

Today I experienced a little of how a bird might feel on fledging: I felt the wind on my face as I drove again

Just two streets, to visit a dear friend who supports me throughout, to beam and shriek and babble, "I did it! I flew!"

NB: If I could choose active travel, I would, but chronic conditions limit my mobility.

Day 25 of #30DaysWild #Nature #UK

It's 4 weeks today I had a #TKR (total knee replacement) and I'm amazed at my body's ability to heal & repair.

Back for another #physio session at the hospital: I silently greet the Scots pine trees every time.

Day 18 of #30DaysWild #Nature #UK

Three weeks ago today, I had #TKR total knee replacement surgery.

Today I went to #physio at the hospital and even managed a tiny wild moment afterwards :)

Day 13 of #30DaysWild #Nature #UK

Second outing since returning from hospital after #TKR (total knee replacement).

Supported by the same friend, a trip by taxi back to hospital for my first #physio session.

I saw:
Many yellow wildflowers (too fast to ID)
Three young starlings
Four wood pigeons
The town formal garden, with a stylised maroon poppy in carpet bedding and informal nodding Field poppies.

Day 11 of #30DaysWild #Nature #UK

I was trying to take my mind off the pain of #physio earlier by scrolling on my phone.

Apart from attending a #bat talk, I haven't really got involved because bat detectors aren't cheap & I have limited mobility.

However, this Sunset Survey popped up in my IG feed - it can be done from a window :)

My shoulder always feels sore in the mornings and loosens up to feel good once I've done my physio exercises.

You'd think that would make me more likely to do those exercises, wouldn't you.

I had my surgical review yesterday and my first physio appointment today.

Both the surgeon and the physio are super happy with the progress of my shoulder. They're both surprised by how much movement I've gotten back already, and the physio said that her best guess is that I could get full range and strength back in about 6 to 9 months.

I'm aiming for 3 months
