I’ve written about all the walking here. I’m feeling pretty proud of all those steps. It’s been years since I’ve been able to do this, and I’m grinning lots.
But it’s not been all grins.
There have been some grimaces.
First, we walked up and down thousands of steps. So many steps. Often, they were uneven, and pretty much none of them had handrails. I guess ancient Rome wasn’t big on handrails. Sarah helped, and sometimes I went solo.
Second, there was a lot of standing in galleries looking at art. What’s frustrating are all the chairs in galleries that you can’t sit on. Yes, I know why. They’re old chairs. They’re also there to keep people the right distance from the art. I did look longingly at them.
But I made it.
Thanks to the team at Defy Physiotherapy. Thanks to the knee surgeon, Dr. Naudie, and his team. Thanks to the University of Guelph for having the best physio benefits. Thanks Sarah and Jeff and my mum and all the friends and family who’ve helped out along the way.
And thanks past me for doing all the work. There’s more work ahead, but I’m feeling pretty good right now.
