Blog 21- 640
Blog 21 – 640 June 5, 2021 640. 640 days between the last time that I stepped foot on a Frisbee pitch. I did not put my boots on, in the year 2020 and did not cut or throw once on a pitch. So I guess that makes today pretty huge when you think about […]
Blog 20 – The Prognosis
Blog 20 – The Prognosis. May 3, 2021 My frisbee training took a break this week as I ventured down to England for a knee appointment. Here’s how it went. The morning was like any other when I visit home. My Mum made me unbelievably perfect poached eggs on homemade toast and we headed off […]
Blog 19 – What is considered back?
Blog 19 – What is considered back? March 30, 2021 This is a question I keep asking myself as a restrictions loosened and trainings have somewhat resumed. I haven’t blogged about them because for me they’ve not felt like a “next stage” as maybe I’m taking things light- I’m doing most the drills, cutting really […]
Blog 18 – Unsuccessfully Monumental
Blog 18 – Unsuccessful Monumental March 10, 2021 So I usually blog about quite successful monumental moments. The kind after-surgery triumphs that are noteworthy. I guess this would sway on the ‘Unsuccessful Monumental’ side. On a completely normal Wednesday, I met up with a friend in a park for a throw. We got there […]
Blog 17 – Review
Blog 17 – Review December 31, 2020 It’s been a while since my last blog. The gap is probably because things, for the most part, were the same. The UK was in lockdown and the days blurred into each-other. I think now is a great time to reflect on the time that has gone by. […]
Blog 16 – Journeys and different progress.
In my last update, I told the story of ‘the end of the start’ and ‘the start of the middle’; a realisation that this was going to be a long journey. That blog was three weeks and two days after my surgery – March 21st….
Blog 15 – Progress and Realisations
They say when you have reconstructive knee surgery, the first three to four weeks are just recovering from the surgery. It’s where you need take daily buckets of painkillers, you do very simple exercises to gain basic flexibility and the concept of walking is replaced with slow hobbling on crutches. Then, as they say, “the rest is up to you”.
Blog 14 – 10 Days update. “Maybe I’ll move to Mars”
My knee isn’t really in pain. By that I mean, when they gave me four types of painkillers, I was expecting shooting and agonising shocks throughout my leg and especially where they drilled into my bone….
Blog 13 – The Day
So. Blog 13 – The day of the surgery. Don’t be fooled by the blog number.
Blog 12- Unsuprisingly Unnoteworthy
I didn’t post last week- my week was unsurprisingly un-noteworthy. I went to work and went back home. I met nobody in between and spent the majority of my week alone and looking at screens….
