16/6: - the Saga.

Pardon me for the hiatus. The cold snap coincided with my Port knee getting a condition of class restricting it to dead slow or stop and so my daily exercise has been curtailed to a large degree (fortunately the Stbd elbow remain eminently bendable).

Suffice it to say that this resulted in a recent peak (9/6) of 19 St 5 Lbs 7/8 (Otherwise 19 St 6!). I am now craving cheese having cut it from the everyday diet and there has been 'salad' appearing in the evenings more so than normal (ie never. Salad is not normal. Why do bunnies bother to do sex if they are only multiplying for their clan to 'enjoy' only bloody salad?). Less worrying is that the BP has been OK throughout the lacuna in reporting. 153/81 being the worst.


Today we have 18 St 13 Lbs, dead, and BP 118/68 PRF 78.


Naproxen has made the knee less uncomfortable but I know it is not up to more than a hundred yards or so. The medic is sending me with a view to having a change-out.

23/6 18 St 11 Lbs 1/4 (otherwise 18 St 12) 134/70 PRF 81. Two days now off Naproxen. Knee no worse yet.


30/6 18 St 8 Lbs 5/8 (otherwise 18 St 9) 134/60 PRF 85. Knee continues fairly stable. I am not testing it though.

7/7 19 St 0 Lbs 1/8 (otherwise 19 St 1) 139/74 PRF 88. Bugger.

14/7 18 ST 13 Lbs 1/4 (otherwise 19 St) 117/62 PRF 86

21/7 18 ST 12 Lbs 1/2 (otherwise 18 St 13) 127/68 PRF 74

28/7 18 St 11. Dead. 117/68 PRF 83
