Phew…I am shagged out! Yesterday, my physiotherapist put me on the tread mill! Goodness, the 1st time ever since eons ago…
Anyway, it was good to be able to run again..although the nagging pain on my left knee. Do or do not..but never say die…
I am on the road to recovery despite the many road blocks, stumbling stones, but I shalt never give myself up…

2 Weeks ago, I got myself strapped up in the biodex machine once more to see if my quads have regained pre-ops strength.I managed to pass this one.
BTW, I flunked the first test last week of Feb, my left leg is only about 50% of my right leg..
I finally passed or should I say borderline case, I got about 67% only but the therapist thinks it is good enough for me to advance into the next stage, running, jumping, etc..to let my knee take impact once more…
Seriously, this mean I need no go for Saturday physiotheraphy session any more….and the best news is I am on track to get myself running once more..after almost 2 yrs of lay-off, I seem to have forgotten how to run…

Yup, folks…it is true..it ain’t a rumour after all. I am going to get my left knee fixed. So, I am going to get my left knee anterior cruciate ligament… reconstructed… Details here
Since that fateful incident while in reuda class last august, one week prior to Singapore 41st Birthday, my left knee gave way after landing awkwardly stepping on a gal’s foot..Boy, I do miss my dancing! While the history is, my knee 1st got injured while playing soccer at Police Academy..somewhere in 1999.
Old SGH still my records and that Singh doctor back then recommended surgery but I refused for a reason that I can’t really recall…Gosh it has been a good 8 years! Looking back, I should have gone for surgery…
I fell one time too many due an unstable knee joint…so enough is enough! Went to see my dear doctor for a specialist referral to see an orthopedic…called SGH(I chose SGH cos the hospital holds my medical records for my nephrotic syndrome and as well as my previous knee injuries) up and was told to go via the polyclinic route as I would be subsided in terms of payment..etc..
So on 24th August 2007..gone to see the doctor…well…he said no MRI scan needeed…the diagnosis using the lachman test …
Take about 8 weeks to heal..6 months to start running… I figured that if I take due care I would not get the ACL torn once more cos I am definitely not going to play soccer or basketball anymore…just want to be able to run, do some roller blading..etc….
