I'm in the groove now. I've had a bad spell of gloom and despondency but I've now accepted the fact that nothing is going to make my knee/leg better and I've also faced the fact that there's people with worse things in life than having to use crutches or a walking stick. However, I can make myself look and feel better and that is my goal. I'm back on the exercising, eating sensibly, shelling out money left right and centre to my daughters, 1 for her school prom and 1 for her and my grandaughter....all I need is a nagging woman and life's back to normal.
