All going to plan and I now have what the physiotherapist called "a perfect vastus medialis"!! She also had me using balancing equipment in the gym & I was pretty good at it too!  A fairly hard session though, but nothing I couldn't manage!


I followed up with about 30 minutes in the pool by myself.  The session was:

5 minutes warm-up
6 x 2:30 Hard
30 second recoveries
5 minutes cool-down.

The water temperature was so high that, by the time I'd finished, my face was as red as a lobster! 


By some strange means, everyone in the Physiotherapy department has learned that I still can run a marathon at 81!   One of the young male physiotherapists was in the pool with a couple of patients and asked if he could tell everyone my age and what I do!  Of course, I said 'Yes'!  When I told him I power walked 10km yesterday - just 10 days after surgery - he put his head under water!!  So, as well as a good workout, I also had a good laugh!
