You're doing amazingly well! Not only have you lost 4 stone but you can now run 5K. That's brilliant and you've done all this in such short time. It is frustrating not being able to do anything. Hopefully the physio will help although previous experience of physio - my insurance company sent me following a car crash - showed that it was really painful, I'm going to try voltoral cream instead of the pain killers because they make me feel tired all the time so I'll see how it goes! My throat is a lot better now, so at least that's something!
