Managing my Injuries

I have somewhat come to the conclusion that I wont be healed any time soon so I've been playing around with how to manage my injuries at the moment.

I posted on UKB about methods that I could use to deal with this, and I was recommended to purchase a really stiff pair of shoes. Fortunately, we have been doing a killer deal at the Depot for a pair of Evolv Valor shoes for £45.

The Evolv Valor has about 10 inches of rubber on the sole, which makes it a really stiff sole, and since I can't size accurately (small shoes compress the joint, which hurts) I have to wear my shoes too big, and the stiffer the shoe, the better.

That said, I have actually been able to climb!!!!

I have been twice this week, working on the board, and trying out problems in the centre that I had previously not been able to try. I still can't heel hook on the left foot (because the shoe is so loose that it just falls off) but I still managed to climb 5/6 of the White circuit - supposedly V6+ (but not really)

In anticipation of our move into a new house at some point in the coming weeks, I have bought some cycling shoes, and some clipless pedals! I'm quite excited to try and have a ride today, so hopefully I dont fall off and die :-)

Injury length, and appointment tomorrow

76.8kg

It's been a pretty hectic couple of weeks with setting, editing, and other things, and now that I have my feet somewhat on the ground - it turns out that we are doing a double day set this week.

Since I have my GP appointment tomorrow to look at the results from my X-Ray, I have been doing some looking up of dates to strengthen my case for referral.

I just looked at some old videos from the depot youtube page to find the problem that I injured myself on, and I have just found that it was over a year ago! The problem was set in July 2014!



And my foot?
My foot is at 4 months!

Gah
