Physio Visit #4

We have attachment! Andrew tells me that the 3rd ligament is now nicely attached back onto the bone where it should be. He's also happy about the occasional puffball effect on those hot summer nights. He's not so happy, though, about my shocking stand-on-one-foot-with-eyes-closed performance this morning. My goal is to stand on one foot, on a cushion, with my eyes closed, for 30 seconds. HAH. My few attempts at this feat (feet?) without the cushion and with eyes open have highlighted how much leg strength I've lost over the last 6 weeks. I stand on one leg until my quad screams enough, then I swap legs.

Then spent a productive afternoon in the garden. I finished forking over the last of the weeds, then (after lunch and a nana nap) went for a walk past the local shops. I'd noticed the Seville garden centre was still open, so I called in to order 3 cubic meters of mulch. Would I like it delivered today? Sure! So I walked straight back home again to lay out a tarp on the front lawn. Half an hour later, I was shovelling mulch onto the garden. I'd done about 3/4 of it, getting more and more tired with each barrowload, when I stumbled and landed on my bum. And called it a day.
