hi there!

i am now 1 year post op,from a lateral release,medial reefing and VMO advancement.
i have had my ups and downs along the way (the downs including a fall down 14 stairs 5 weeks post op!) .............but now i am on the "other side" and over the worst and i can say having the op was a good move to make!
my knee feels so much more stable then before the operation and has healed very well.
i am still working on the strenghtening stuff and it feels as near to "normal" as i think it can do!
i can even wear heels again now! ( i feel a bit achey after a few hours but hey, i am in my thirties!!

)
for anyone having problems with theirs knees i hope this post can give you some reassurance and hope that it can be possible to get over knee problems and get back to a reasonable life again where your knees do not rule your life!
i do not get to post as much as i used to,with working full time,and i always seem to find there are not hours in the day but want to thank all the "cyber friends" i have made over the last year for your support and kind words that helped me through some pretty dark days.
"THANKYOU!"
i will still be lurking about to see how you are all doing when i can!
take care and thanks again to you all!
