First background or you will all wonder what the heck I am going on about
On 27th Feb I was involved in a car crash. It was a head on collision at 50mph where I was driving. I was actually really lucky that I only suffered minor injuries being cuts and bruises and a fractured patella. I had to have an operation to wire my knee cap back together and I was in cast for a few weeks following. The car was totally written off but I have a nice new shiny one now so it's not all bad
Well I am off to the hospital tomorrow morning for my 3rd check up since the op. I had my cast removed on the 5th April and was told that I would have my physio appointments through 'soon'. Until such a time I am just to bend my knee (which has not bent for around 5 weeks) and lift my leg from the thigh (which has lost all muscle so I can do naff all with it

) well I am STILL waiting for the physio appointments to come through. I have been paying to have private physiotherapy as it was getting totally ridiculous which I can't actually afford but there we go. So I am preparing myself to have a big moan about that

I am considering another operation to remove the wires from my knee as I can feel them underneath my skin...yuck!!! If I decide to do this they will also manipulate my knee at the same time. I don't really want another operation but I am starting to think I may not have much of a choice.
On the plus side I started hydrotherapy last tuesday and it has been brilliant! I have had 3 sessions so far and I have another tomorrow evening. Then I am back to my physiotherapist for a review on Friday. Busy little bee I am!
Wish me luck for tomorrow, or rather the doctor
