Life, Truth, Mental Health – LET'S TALK!

Me and my boyfriend have booked a holiday to Seattle (Were from UK) in October this year.. 50 days from now in fact! (not that I’m counting) 

I may or may not have explained but I’ve been off work for just under a year now with an injury to my knee which I tore my ACL, my Meniscus, fractured and bruised the bone.. (just a small injury 🙄) I am a post woman, so at the moment I don’t feel ready as my knee is still in the healing process. I did have an operation on the 30th January this year, and it usually takes 9-12 months to FULLY heal ⌚️!! It has completely changed my life and not necessarily for the better. Sleepless nights, pain most days, relying on people which I’m not used to doing. I am very exhausted with the whole knee situation. I’m currently at physiotherapy at the moment which is a bit of a pain in the ass. I know it helps but It’s also the mental part where you need to trust your knee to get through the session and thats probably the hardest bit. It’s also been a very tough year!! 

So anyway – We decided to book a holiday because we needed something to look forward to and we have been invited by friends over there so it seemed like the perfect time. I just stress about money, getting everything ready etc. My boyfriend probably does worry but he does VERY well to hide it, as he is rather laid back 😇.. It will be nice to get away from the same 4 walls though.

We are going for 2 weeks on October 1st. 3 days in Seattle, then renting a car and driving to Kalispell to see our friends. It will be nice to have an adventure and some quality time with my boyfriend. 

So its tough at the moment with me not working STILL and pain with my knee. It’s slowly getting there, but VERY SLOW! 🙁
