My left patella had an altercation with a rock on tuesday morning and needless to say the rock won. My patella ended up in at least a dozen bits. It’s since been operated on to rebuild it but while i lie listening to the snorers and farters on the hospital ward i wondered if any of the good folk of STW had suffered the same and if so if anyone had any tips to aid recovery or similar stories to impart? I await your collective wisdom as lets face it, i’m not going anywhere soon!!

No advice but sorry to hear about it and hope you’ll get back on your foot soon.

If there’s ever a place to make you feel worse than you are, it’s a hospital.

A good friend of mine did the same. She’s having the wires removed at the end of this month, after a year or so. Her biggest regret is not initially following through with the physio exercises, which she reckons slowed her recovery. She seems to be doing well now though. Good luck! 🙂
