I’m starting week 20 today, and in the words of my Physio I am doing very well. Mind you I have to question whether Hayley, that’s my Physio is all the ticket? She got on a coach, went all the way to Huddersfield to watch Bournemouth’s first game of the season.![Bilateral Quadriceps Tendon Rupture](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_uiu4xsuqcf4hGyQxAOyKUWdgZYTxrENPRVYfEFGxjymIIf7KDWX_t9oMWgOcBU3hf3ENh0oZvC0RU84Rv8b94PrBsuNG3ZHsXSOeJocPrg3d3K32nkemlbM0gvB44zfRMKfqYbnGJnlSGxHtrjLOOBd8Be4upHSTDggaAoIphUrH6BS3bSyclQ=s0-d)
Mind you they won 4 nil so maybe she got lucky, there is no worse feeling than going to an away game and coming back 260 miles with that losing feeling.
Mind you my boys had a decent result at the weekend, 1 all, away to a newly promoted side, not all that bad. To my quadder brothers in the states, Bournemouth play, along with my boys (Charlton Athletic) in the second tier of English football or rather soccer to you guys.![Bilateral Quadriceps Tendon Rupture](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_sFMRM8o1sKDvLyPL4WYHu6orDz5DqpDKrPqN-3jR188F4FMgR1y--efwAk3bO0iBwcVSOmY2T-3li2RsdimOjOz_DcT6Gu6CXU_4EOkUuveVdubVB6JGeDHNyNtDYF3J_cC1b4c6aqB9aKf8ecnPZbZA=s0-d)
Your really going to have to get used to calling it football not soccer, if you want to play a world sport. And by the way you are getting better. Your football (which I love by the way, come on the Bournemouth Bobcat) is not football.
Football is when you kick the ball with your feet. Which only happens in American Football at kick off, punting, extra after, and field goal; so calling it football is a bit rich. I have to say I am looking forward immensely to the Raiders Dolphins game on 28 September at Wembley which I have tickets for.![Bilateral Quadriceps Tendon Rupture](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_uS4ZSyubLa8qsxqjgUh7sIBJcR1vDhVBShqpz0zvYUP2Hu1FMuCF8wcse-dP59dc2FiDhtJ3CRw536hrfb_tsYgtKHsGp8uc3qKd6AqWcZ5mD-AgV3RsOA-tI3FJ5WHzNoWZASnygEz3qJ6BDdngpyVXc3R8UGZ06iGQlODmArSTo=s0-d)

Just hope I can get into the seat….. I find it amazing how Americans take English childrens games and turn them into sports; netball and rounders spring to mind. The day is coming when the London Monarchs will play in either the NFC/AFC East, and I can not wait to take some scalps.
Anyway less of the digression.
The exercises are paying dividends I seem to be getting stronger day on day. Found a pool at a local hotel with steps and a rail in to the water so, I am swimming most days. Its really cheap 20 quid a month and no membership, there’s a hot tub, steam room, sauna
no Swedes sadly and gym with all the latest machines; a real find. I am walking 3 to 4 miles a day with out my crutches (I take them with me just in case). Bournemouth is very hilly so its quite a feat.
Heard from the lawyers last week, apparently I need more pictures of the spot I fell as there is a minium depth of 2.5cm anything below that is deemed by the law to be not dangerous. So I’m going to drive up there on Thursday and take photos with measurements. Will post next week.
Not heard a dicky bird from work. Sent in new fit note saying I can drive now, but the silence is deafening. I feel mentally ready to go back if not totally physically.
So that’s it for this post, its going to be a week of swimming and walking, Cross Trainer and my stair exercises. Oh and weight loss I have got rid 6lbs so far, so my target is 1lb a week. Should be easy I don’t think……
