danger averted!

MRI today. Result: everything intact. In the top row you can clearly see the ACL like a black stripe across the void between thigh and calf bone.

Also note the two smaller holes - that's where the genius surgeon put the first reconstruction.

My new physio (who I want to marry, naturally) said it's down to my hamstrings. Ironically, the least important part of a patella rehab! Not that I've been neglecting, not at all, but I apparently have to work more on them. And stabilisation of the knee. Haven't done any of that, thank you CJ.

Frustrated to the max, but I know I should be grateful that all is intact. I'm just so, so very tired. The doctor asked me "what do you want to do when you recover?" and I had no answer, as always. I don't know. What do I want to do? Maybe not have to worry every single second of every day about it? Maybe be able to wear heels without pain? Maybe run without pain? Maybe sometimes feel that I can join sporty stuff? I don't know.

  1. Congratulations Jo! It's great to see you with a smile on your face with regards ACL stuff! This is great news! You might not be healed, and you might not be sure what you want to do, but it's positive nonetheless! Yay!
