Hi @caz7 - yes, I've been following you (@ sign or not. LOL!) You and I have something in common. I am 11 weeks tomorrow and this weekend I decided to go to an Arts and Crafts Fair in town. Going there was just fine - my walk was pretty jaunty on the outbound. Walking around the event, I started to get tired. Coming back, my husband asked if I wanted him to go get the car and pick me up. My pride intervened. I knew I was limping but couldn't give up. All told, I walked 10,232 steps - 4+ miles. The last 500 steps were the hardest. I counted them. Just like you, Sunday I was stiff, icing my knee, feeling sorry for myself and determined to keep going until this knee conforms to my lifestyle. I'm wishing you the best and I hope you will wish me some better judgement!

Hi @debbraw, thanks for that 🙂 At least I feel like I'm not going mad on my own now. (LOL). I haven't got a step counter (I daren't) 🙂 It's mad how you live for any info at all to reassure you that this will all end one day and normality will come back. One step at a time, (pardon the pun)! Wishing you all the best with it.Take care.
