Well, I can see it in the distance, the light that is! A long tunnel, not as long as some, but longer than others, with a few obstacles faced en route! The opening of the magnificent A3 tunnel from Grayshott going under the Devil’s Punchbowl is now officially opened! YAY! And a most welcome relief to the traffic congestion for all concerned. Having said that there is always a down side, and like with my PAO’s nothing ever goes according to plan. I have had a few hiccups along the way, but am back on track, although like the tunnel there is always a down side. We now have a lot more noise from the road south of the tunnel, as, obviously the traffic is rolling – where as before it was stationery and didn’t make a sound. Hips likewise, have a down side, in that they are still clonking and catching on the Ischial area. I had cortisone injections done last week – two to both Ischial areas and one to my psoas on the right leg. My left Ischial area is now catching even more and actually feels quite unstable! I am still getting the discomfort when I drive on a long journey so not sure what I can do about that. Ah well, hopefully it will settle, and more likely, I will just get used to it – like the noise from the A3. Not a lot can be done about it so I may as well just get used to it!
All in all, I would say I am at 95% back to where I was three years ago. I have started running and am up to about 40 – 50 minutes depending on terrain. Slow, but still moving nonetheless! I have had a busy summer with dogs (actually since Easter it has been mayhem) but now that I have stopped dog-sitting to focus on selling our house, I should (yeah, right!) have more time to focus on running. Running itself feels great – just the psoas that was getting a bit tight after about 3 miles, so we shall see how that pans out. I am glad that it is all behind me, well, for now anyway. THR is a probable in a few years time, but I shall be putting that off for as long as I can. Much as I like Mr Witt, I really don’t want to see him again for a very long time! Bless him! I would not be the woman I am today without him! 🙂
