Cape town trip and other things

So March arrived and I was in CT ... trying o tick one of my places off the bucket list. I did make it to Boulders beach and around the Cape point, was a beautiful drive around the coast.


So my first weekend was really jammed packed went for a pool party then to Shimmy which I've been dying to go for the last 3 years and I finally got to go. Was an  amaaazing night out with boys.. as expected :) Long street on Saturday night never disappoints was crazy insane, hitting Bobs bar is always a must to experience the total madness of long street.


Anyhoo Monday rolled right along and I was going for  a doctors check-up since seeing I was in CT, I was excited and then I wasn't :( Doctor said my knee was tangled and shredded apparently around my new knee contraption sooo I has to replace it with a button and do a patella resurfacing.


Its one month later and a 20 cm scar down my knee later but sort of healed, just fucken sucks I tell you. When will all this  end I hate being on crutches and unable to stand for long but that's life I guess.


I need a award for Something ... anything something mmm.. let me think about it but I deserve it for going through all this shit with a smile on my face.

TKR One year post op

So its been a year since my operation. Yay! one year ago since my new knee - leg watever. I started with biokentist on campus every week and gym in the evenings.Some weeks i over do it and have to sit out training or excercising  for a week.I trip and my  legs pain but i get up again. I'think its about getting back up again always after you fall or you get a setback.

You have to help yourself cos everyday is a struggle, you have to motivate yourself because you can't be like the rest.They wont break but you will.
Life is busy and carries on all of a sudden you dont have time to play games or worry about petty things or petty people, you just trying to survive.

I cant measure up to anyone cos i dont know anyone who has the same op as me.So its hard to know where my limits are or am i just being lazy and letting myself fall behind 'im so good at doing that'.

But im better and im getting there... i have to be.


 

So many months later

Sooo in October I had a little accident while in the shower and broke my femur . everything after that is kinda a blur I stayed 1 week in Westville hospital with my broken bones . While there I was told I had a tumour that weakened my bones and so I fell.

My next adventure took me onto Cape Town which lasted just over a month . I had to see a tumour and replacement specialist and there I had my surgery done. A new knee and femur and so it's 5 weeks after my surgery and I'm going for physio and trying to walk.

Life has been hard not being able to do things for your self and depending on  your family for help . I'm so blessed with so many people that helped me along the way and constantly pray for me.

So this year or the next few months will be trying to get back into normal things while hopping along.
