mud fingers

I'm testing my willpower. I'm sitting at my desk at work, and I have half a chocolate mud finger in front of me. How long can I hold out before I eat it...? ha ha.

Walkies this morning: 4.3 kms. Slight drizzle. I ran a few steps across Warburton Hwy this morning (damn traffic), and IT DIDN'T HURT quite as much as it did the last time I tried it.

Physio Andrew says that the pain is coming from the residual swelling deep within the joint - so I'm not doing anything bad to my ligaments, and the only reason that I'm not allowed to run yet is because my balance isn't good enough. Oh, and the reason that my balance is shot is because I tore all the nerves along with the ligament, and it's the nerves that give you the sense of where you are in space (ie, they tell you to land on the bottom of your foot, not your side, for eg). And nerves don't regrow once you've cut them, you have to grow new ones. Hence the balancing act to train the new nerves in what to do.
