Just letting you know I’m still here. Knee is very painful and I’m limping around. Was feeling very sad and sorry for myself so carted myself up to my Dr. She is lovely and could see how frustrated I was. She sent off a letter to orthopaedic specialist and I now have a long wait until March before I can get to see him unless a cancellation comes up. Anyways my Dr told me quite bluntly I had to lose weight and gave me a diet and exercise plan to follow. Less weight my knee has to carry the better. Told me she would see me in a month, to hide my scales, to stay off them and she would weigh me at my next visit in a months time. Well I’ve got a less than a week to go now before I see her and I’m feeling quite good. I’ve followed her plan, not 100% as my knee wouldn’t allow a lot of the exercise (other than the last few days where I’ve gone to the pool and walked for 45 minutes) but food wise I’ve been good. No weighing myself either though that has been hard as I usually weigh at least once a week. I will weigh here the in morning of my Drs appointment though.
