So I have finally decided to fix my knee and get a full knee replacement. When I was just 20 I had of all of the meniscus removed from the inside of my right knee, hence making it being bone on bone and taking away the cushion that protects it . It has given me constant problems since. Whilst I was playing I had to have physio appointments at all hours. With the help of the incredible Kevin Lidlow it was a constant battle to keep the swelling down and pain under control,but after at least 12 surgeries I have decided to have it done. At 27, I was lucky enough to meet an amazing surgeon called Richard Steadman. He managed to give me a few more years of my career, before I had to retire from the game I love at 30 . Having a young baby has also made this decision easier, as I need to be as mobile as possible so I can chase that little speedy rascal around. I want to thank you Dr Sweetnam ,and your great team, for looking after me so amazingly well. As you can see on pic 2 I assume I will be setting off the X-ray machines at the airport with my new titanium knee . So here is to a new beginning, I’m excited for this next chapter 👏 👏 And watching all the World Cup games is going to make this rehab a touch easier. ⚽️
