Cross sections

Today I've been very busy - and lots of it has been to do with my knee. First thing, I had my follow up appointment at the orthopaedic outpatient clinic, and the arthroplasty practitioner I saw pronounced herself pleased with progress. I have to work on straightening the leg, but the flex is good. It's basically what I thought for myself, and while I was a little worried that the knee was more swollen than last time, she didn't seem bothered about where we were on that score. Personally, I think the straightening is coming along - I think it's already a bit better than a week or so ago. Since then, I've been trying to make more of an effort on that score. I also dropped off the sticks at the outpatient clinic and the dalteparin debris at the pharmacy for safe disposal. I felt like I was physically moving the operation and its short term consequences out of the flat.

Unfortunately, I had to pop into the office, as it was the only place where I could sort out an enormous expenses claim (I don't want to be without that money for weeks to come...). But mainly I carried on with editing at home. I need to be minimally distracted in the next few days....

I then furthered the cause of rehabilitation by going to Pilates, and achieved another 'first' by cycling round to Projekt 42. It wasn't that I was in a hurry, or couldn't walk, but I did want to see how I managed on the bike out on the street. Absolutely grand, I have to say.

Overall, therefore, I'm pleased. I'll be even more pleased once this book is finally off my hands.
