So, here are my scars 3 months on...I'm quite impressed with how they're looking. I have been plying them with Boots Scar Reduction Serum each night. Who knows if it is speeding up the heeling process, but it doesn't hurt to try!
The area to the right of the largest Scar is still feeling numb, but its nothing to worry about the consultant has assured me.
It's been a while since my last post. Since going back to work full time I don't seem to have the time, or remember too keep the blog up to date.
So in a snapshot since the last post I'm now down to physio once every 3 weeks. I'm still going to the gym regularly and feeling a bit stronger each week. I'm doing plenty of balance exercises, and can now manage 35kg on the leg press.
One legged exercises are still really hard. I'm working on one legged squats, lunges and stepping up and down from a platform.
Most excitingly, this week is the milestone for being able to run. I couldn't wait to get back to running, but walking on the treadmill, psyching myself up to run was scarier than I thought! I did eventually manage it but didn't have the confidence to run many steps...still its signifies the start of getting back to 'proper' sport. Maybe pounding the pavement will be easier than fighting with a treadmill at constant speed.
