Mater wot Rocks!

Awesome day!

Mater's coming on well with her new exercises, feeling her way to the optimum routine. My knees are also getting noticeably stronger every week.

Mater was able to go walking for 30 mins whilst I made the Rolls which Rock - until now, she's needed me along for support in case of cramps etc. Yay!

Later on, Mater suggested that we get my bike out of the shed for her to try sitting on. She's not been on a bike since January, and eleven years ago, it was falling off a bike three times which caused the original injury. She puttered up and down the garden this afternoon, and looked pretty good. We're not going to tempt fate by trying a road ride until after we've been on holiday, but ... squee!

We're just back now from visiting N at the allotment, to deliver the old lawnmower to the shed there. We need to be able to mow our grass paths and collect the mowings to mulch the beds. It's a very old, reasonably unwieldy Qualcast push mower, so I think it's untempting to thieves. Mater came with us - 20 mins in the car with 20 mins break. Great progress!

Mater's having a lay down now ... well earned, or what? :-)

Sam came and handed me a print out of your Rolls which Rock recipe. I think it was a hint.

That's excellent news Mater-wise. When are you getting her into a recumbent with aero-shell?

ASAP! :-)

It's surprising really, the ways in which the right physiotherapy for the injury makes all the difference, and often makes a difference in a very short time. But like antibiotics, you have to do the whole treatment or that initial good effect will quickly disappear.

Interesting analogy :-) She's still in discomfort pretty much all her waking hours, though ... I do hope this deep massage idea will fly.

I'm impressed! :)

I hear that it's common to need one hour's rest for every two hours activity with this kind of problem, too. Given that she's still living with persistent discomfort, it's even more impressive.

Woohoo! Mater does indeed rock! (And roll, from the sound of things!) Yay!
