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 :)

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

Dreading this. A lot. I'll definitely take that good luck

Soccer injury?
curiousbeez
Nope, squash! Physio was very confused when she found out, it's always the football players
blindroman
Yea my thoughts exactly either football or soccer lol. Well get it healed up! How long you out for?
curiousbeez
Will do, sir/mam! They say 6 months before I can train again, 9/10 before competitive matches. So, like, A LIFETIME :'(
blindroman
Ah shit almost a year! I feel you! Lol sir is fine dont think im that much older though hahaha. You did competitive squash!?
curiousbeez
Probs not, I'm ancient :) yep with my uni, nothing impressive, I'm no athlete, but it's super fun

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

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.
curiousbeez
Yikes!! Yeah I had to have meniscus too, not looking forward to the chicken leg. Looking forward to the getting better though
cocoboogs
