As I have long suspected the MRI scan I had last week has shown the ACL to be torn in my right knee. The most frustrating thing is that I'd wish I had found out in January when I did it playing football. The ruddy doctor here said all I needed was some anti-inflammatory tablets and to raise my leg up and down every night when I was watching television!Fortunately I finally found a specialist physio, who has helped me strengthen the medial and lateral ligaments but something inside wasn't right as my body busily tried to counteract the injury.
As one of my mates said to me, that does make me sound very sporty and an option is to do nothing and change my sporting activities to fishing and snooker but I want to get it repaired, the question is just when I do it and by whom.
We are off on holiday to Mexico next Sunday, and then I plan to be back in London at the end of May. Work is frantically busy through to July 1st and then we move house in July, so little time to get the op done before then and in August my son comes to visit. Perhaps I'll just get Dr Ready to lob it off when I hopefully see all you guys (the London based ones anyway) in a few weeks. I know from past experiences that London Pride is a very good anesthetic!
