It feels sooo long since I have run.
The operation went well, I think. I still have a lot of swelling but I guess that is to be expected. The scar itself seems to be healing well, but the doctor had to perform a mini abdominoplasty to get the full effect so it turned into a bigger operation than I expected. It means running is out for the next few weeks!
In a way, it is a bit of a mixed blessing. My knees had really been hurting for the past few weeks and getting worse. My right knee in particular had looked kinda puffy and on googling my symptoms it seems I have "housemaid's knee" - something that can affect runners! The good news is that rest seems to be a good cure - something I'm getting plenty of.
So, I'm hoping to get back to running by the end of January.....

Hi Sue! I've been wondering where you were. :) Glad that the operation went well. Enjoy your rest, I guess it's a good thing for your knee, too! Hopefully your transition back to running will go smoothly. Take care!
Hope you are feeling better soon. I just started a blog for my first half marathon training. Hope you can come by and visit some time soon.
