Day 122

Physical.
After being given the OK to do some strength and mobility stuff with the knee, I started an exercise Plan on the muli-gym, As I knew I would, over the first week I over did it, resulting in a swollen knee Saturday morning. Took the weekend off and started back Monday afternoon, setting the level just a little lower.

So where am I now? Well it go to the multi-gym three times a day if I can (sometimes just hurts to much to start), I do stuff on my arms/back and chest and use these as breaks between leg raises, I do 5 x 10 reps with 10kg then 10 regs with 13.5kgs followed by 10 reps with 2.3kg will the bad leg only, still unable to do any back curls but try each time I’m there.

Brain stuff, although As I’ve been told most of this pain is in my head, it still hurts, but I do my best to ignore it most of the time and can only tell when it’s too much as I go all light headed and my vision starts to “close in”. I guess you’d have to say moving the good knee is smooth like tarmac, as apposed to the bad which is more like a cobbled road (all a bit lumpy) when you move it.

Been on this new medication for two of the three week course now, first week was a mild headache, bit fuzzy mentally and minor shakes in the morning, second week started out with a bit of a shock, apart from an increase of the headache & shakes, Tuesday morning I lost the uses of my left eye for about 4 hours, and the right one needed a lot of effort to focus (bit frightening that), head feels a bit detached most of the time and have to concentrate to pull everything back to nomal, vision has settled down a bit but without effort I loose focus, not looking forward to next week as I increase the medication again, but My wore fear is next Monday, that’s when I go “cold turkey” now I’ve been told this is needed to shock the brain and reset it, so should meanI only get this pain when working the knee and not as a constant, however I’ve a feeling it’s not going to be nice physically.

So hurdles to jump, but moving forward, it’s all good, if hard work.

Cheers Mark.

Blimey.What can you say to that?I just hope it improves at a faster rate from now on.
I also hope you are looking at some really substantial damages at some stage.

This is real hero stuff.

I hope one day it all comes together.
