Week twenty four
I had to admit I’m going to be glad when all the fruit is gone. I’m getting mighty sick of midnight visits from possums gorging themselves on it and making a racket outside my bedroom window.
It’s starting to cool down here, not that we really had a summer. There were only a few days over 35°C and only two days over 40°C. Normally I’d be sleeping with a sheet and a couple of blankets for about another month but I’m already curling up under my doona. I had to break out the 3/4 length knicks for this morning’s quick spin on Yarra Boulevard. The cold air was a bit harsh on my lungs too.
What I that I learnt from my physio yesterday…
Fun fact #1: estrogen affects soft tissue. I didn’t know this but certainly explains a lot about what’s been going on with my back in the last few months. The pain has been cyclical in nature, getting bad for a couple of days then receding. Some months it has been really bad, others it’s just a twinge. Not exactly sure what can be done about that. Still, knowing what’s going on is helpful. At least I know I’m not imagining it.
Fun fact #2: women are more likely to tear their anterior cruciate ligament when they’re ovulating. All I can say to that is: *shudders as I rub my knees*
