Well, this isn't really about an attack. I had a visit from my physio yesterday and she went through a few exercises that I need to do to strengthen my right leg, knee and hip. She said that she didn't think someone like me - who used to bodyboard, ride horses, cycle and generally be very active - would get so down with my leg and that I should keep up the pressure on myself to make it better. I told her in no uncertain terms that I'd been keeping up the pressure for nearly a decade with a fulltime job, family, home, social life etc. She backed down quite quickly. It's only been since I'd had more intervention, that I've been feeling my illness and I think the difference is that I'm beginning to come to terms with it. I don't think that's wrong, I think it's the way it should be.
Anyway, she bugged me and so I'm going to see what more I can do with exercise. I should go swimming more and I should go horseriding, so watch this space.
