Seen my orthopaedic consultant this afternoon, who's agreed to do a MPFL to my left side (already had my right one done, 2 and a bit years since), to help to stabilise my patellae. I've never been so happy to be having surgery, should make life a bit easier!X

Haha sorry, it's a ligament that helps to hold your knee in the correct place. And they make a new one using a small bit of your hamstring, and make a new ligament. And I'm currently on a course and have a work contract until September, so they have said roughly the 13th October, so not too long.

Thank you, Kirsty x
