1. My ACL knee repair. Pretty swollen now! Mostly keeping it in its splint but taking it out for physio exercises after pain relief. (Marker line for knowing where the top of the splint is; thanks dad).

Mainly I'm updating because I fucked up last night. Took paracetamol as soon as I got to my parents who are putting me up for the week (2hr journey from the hospital turned 3hr due to traffic). Then realised I'd been prescribed co-codamol instead of codine; you can't take co-codomol with paracetamol. Doh.

4 hours of pain :'( please don't ever do as I did!!

2. At least I've got this little munchkin to keep me happy :)

Technically THT. +1

FYI, 1st poop after those meds is going to feel like a sword. Happened after my acl replaced, can't bend that leg for leverage. Good luck

Nope, squash! Physio was very confused when she found out, it's always the football players

Will do, sir/mam! They say 6 months before I can train again, 9/10 before competitive matches. So, like, A LIFETIME :'(

That's why I only ever purchase smaller squashes at the store, so as not to strain my knees

I know I get excited too! But it is important to control yourself.

i had acl, mcl and meniscus last october. not being able to walk sucks and your leg is gonna get tiny, but it gets better every week.
