I know I've said it before but you guys have got me through the last year, so thank you again. I hope you don't mind if I just name-check Dave Mac - in an extremely subtle way (that I didn't even realise until after I'd got home from N) he gave me the confidence to ski again. Heartfelt thanks :thumbup:. You're pretty great bunch of people :cry: :P

I look foward to seeing those piccies and, yes, the brace is staying on the mcl leg for now. It's slightly more vunerable apparently.

LM, just bear in mind, whatever the results, it can be fixed! Look long term...

absolutely Trencher. I ride my bike with both gears on maximum, uphill, sitting down. Blimey! It kills :shock:

I also love my yoga. Very strong poses work the legs really hard and the balancing poses are fantastic for making your brain aware of where you knees are (there's a word for it that I can't think of for the life of me?).

cheers mate. It was, indeed, hard work but so worth it :D
when my consultant asked how I felt with skis on my feet I just burst into this silly wide grin. How can a sport bring so much pleasure? Then again, I suppose that's why we're all on here :mrgreen:

nothing could possibly be worse than the year I've just had :cry:. At least I know I can ski, no more limbo.

so, it's christmas in Schladming? sorry, got it wrong, I thought it was new year for some reason :roll:. Very intrigued to hear about your bonkers group, it'll be a blast :thumbup:. I wanna come!

but, on the positive side, the season will be all but over and we can start counting down until new year :mrgreen:

note to self: always have an end of season hol booked

oooh, I've got five school days too :thumbup:
16 real days though :roll:

thanks guys. It has, indeed, been an extremely long year.

It was lovely to see my physio, she was so happy for me and said the knee class were keen to know how my skiing had gone. I was choked, people can be so nice can't they :D
