As the nurse gently pulled out the pipe, that was acting as a drain for excess blood, from my knee, seeing whole constellations in the process, I could not help but think why I was doing all this for.
Perhaps I could have lived with the knee pain and given up on sports, even though my knee had been giving me problems even just to walk in a pair of semi decent heels, I really didn't want to give up on sports - at least I wanted to try all possible options. There was not much option for me but to undergo knee surgery.
The surgeon was very positive about the outcome, giving me a degree of reassurance that I can eventually get back on track and hopefully fulfil my somewhat ambitious dream of completing an Ironman.
I have a bit of a long way to go, will lose my fitness and will have to rebuild it again, starting from scratch.
But, with a little help from my friends, I will be patient, determined and driven!
