Hi All

Today whilst sat in my chair which we have a matching footstool to put my legs on I decided to try and see if my leg would lift and it did, quite considerably and true to form shook like a leaf whilst I held it for 10 seconds....Its progress again along with the heel lift which i now turn into straight leg lift...I do find i need a small cushion and the chair/footstool seems to work...I cant yet do it flat or on a board but im happy with my progress, hope to show the physio on wednesday..
Things must be knitting together nicely I think :-)

    It's shaking because the muscles are weak but that will come. Post op, I love doing straight leg raises in the bath as the water helps. Keep going!
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    Well done Elaine, it sounds like hard work, but you're doing really well.
