Knowing your limitations and accepting them are two very different things.

I’ve never been sporty even with two good legs. I can only assume I went into nanny mode when my five year old grandson suggested I went in goal – he did say he would “go easy with me” and nannies can’t say no…. at least this one can’t!

The ‘game’ didn’t last long – the effects are still being felt. Clearly my new knee doesn’t like unexpected physical activity. It’s swollen, bruised and painful and I didn’t even move about that much. I am icing as much this week as in the first week post-op! Thankfully I haven’t needed pain-killers I do have a high pain threshold. Anyway I definitely won’t be repeating that activity again – that is one limitation I will accept!
