t minus 21 days

Well, I went to physio.  And not entirely under duress (unless you count my brain forcing my body out the door).  If I'm being entirely honest, which I intend to be this month, there is one image that overwhelmingly sums up today:

Definitely feel like I am working towards the impossible just now; so this quote seems entirely appropriate.  Really looking forward to the 'suddenly' bit.  He's a saint - he has to be right... right?!

Start by doing what’s necessary;

then do what’s possible;

and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

My actual appointments with my surgeon and specialist physio are on Feb 23rd.  So the countdown is on.

Today, I had a hot shower to warm my aching (burning, searing, tingling, piercing, throbbing, pulsating, fasciculating, miserable, spasming, angry, fiery) muscles today; then I did my exercises; then I climbed onto my bed with ice packs and a heated blanket and when my Dad appeared to ask something, I told him I was never moving again.  Ever.)

Until I go to physio tomorrow, possibly under duress.

Feeling like I'm off to a great start...
