Hi everybodyGood to hear such positive news on here.Even I manage to get promoted from a 0 out of 5 to 1 out of 5 grade for dorsi flexion by the physio last week.I just wish the toes would show some sign of joining in, that way I might be able to get it to lift off the ground instead of just doing it in the air.Getting an MRI on Monday and an EMG on the 20th, so that should give a better picture of where I'm at now and where I'm heading as the weeks/months go by.All the best for Monday's op Hamish.Welcome back from your hols j_smi001Well done mom444's little girl.Andre, have you found a work-around for your over-protective sub-conscious in training that you mentioned recently?I have to say, that it sounds like quite a healthy fear to have and nothing to do with cowardness, just something that time and usage might hold the key to.Without trying to sound like I really know what I'm talking about, maybe your sub-conscious needs time to get to trust your knee again before it becomes second nature.I've tried to check out your videos but I keep getting "Page Cannot Be Found" when I click on the arrow. Is it just me and/or any ideas? (using a Mac)Best to you all
Andre,Switched to a different browser and that solved the video viewing problem.Hats off to you, as expected, some highly inspirational clips on there, thanks for sharing them with us.I was particularly intrigued by the CAT board. Was it specially made or is it a commercially available piece of kit? I did a search online for one but no joy.A brand name, should you get the chance, would be great.I'm going to try and incorporate the pull downs and the marbles pick-ups with the toes as they are about 35% functional from that aspect so could use some strengthening and who knows it might help with lifting them up too.Best
Hi Guys,That's me home from my op and still feeling a little groggy. Surgeon said it went well and things looked pretty clean inside my knee with no damage to the meniscus. He did show me a picture with a bit of wear to the cartilage but I thing this was normal for a knee that's had pretty heavy usage. Leg feels pretty sore at the moment and I am icing it at the moment. Wlii keep you posted on my progress.Hamish
