Braceorama

We are now patiently waiting the arrival of my new slick, black, carbon fibre 'Ossur' brace that should be ready for pick up in 2 weeks time. I decided to go for a black brace as mum had the great idea of placing an NZ fern or koru design on it. The finish is quite glossy so we won't be able to spray paint it, however, I think I will ask my kiwi mates to kindly send me some water proof koru designs and decorate it with them. Then when I am running it will look pretty darn cute! 

New physio update: knee flexion is at 125 degrees, whoopee! We had to drive into town today for the brace fitting and to get Kevin's truck fixed, therefore we both drove separately and dropped off the truck. My knee was not impressed with sitting for an hour driving...sorry knee. It would behave perfectly fine, just feeling "full" in the joint, then BAM! As though some sneaky invisible person stabbed me with an invisible ice pick right into the outer part of the knee 5 times. Kind of like that scene from Psycho in the shower with the stabbing music, it was just like that. Of course, I'm humming away to the radio, blisfully aware of what lies ahead and out of now where...stab, stab, stab! the fright I get and the amount of swear words that somehow mash into one really long word makes for a very interesting car ride. Thankfully Kevin is not in the car with me otherwise a conversation would go like this:

"oh look at that lovely rainbow, I really like driving here its so COCKSUCKERMOTHERF****HOLYS***CHOPMY F*******KNEEOFFNOW pretty and nice...dude my knee really hurts"
Ah, yes, even this sweet girl who blushes at the thought of a swear word, will on the odd occasion yell them out loud and clear if in pain and alone....
