Things ain't so bad

Things are looking up with the foot. The swelling has reduced sufficiently for me to wear a proper shoe for the first time today at work.

As for the knee, I've accepted the pain now. I have the MRI scan appointment for next Wednesday, so I can see some progress. I've cycled to work every day this week. At least it's less painful than descending stairs and it means I'm getting a bit of exercise, so now I only climb halfway up the walls.

On another positive note, I'll be setting out at 05:30 to Threshfield on Saturday to help out at Troller's Trot (I was due to be running it). I know several of you who will be running it. I'm down to man a checkpoint on the short route and most of you will be doing the long, but I'm sure we'll catch up before and afterwards.

  1. Keep up the good recovery Nick! Received the Fellsman handbook through the post so all of a sudden its seems very real! Saw your pics used :-) Thought I recognised them!

  2. Stu, I haven't bothered to look through it yet. With everything on hold I couldn't bring myself to. I hope my knee's repaired by then but it's looking very dodgy.

  3. Glad to see you being positive! I'm sure you are climbing the walls by now!

  4. Glad things are looking better. So, if not the Fellsman, are you targeting the Heart of Scotland as your comeback!?

  5. Rich G, I'm keeping my options open and always envisaging an early return. I hope I'm back by The Fellsman. I have a team to lead round and I'd hate to let them down.

  6. Good to see you today Nick, fingers crossed with the scan, maybe just needs a tidy up "in there" like you say.
