It's already the end of Mar 2009 and good news everyone! I've already resumed playing golf. I started lightly, practiced at the driving range several times, taking it really easy before playing my first game on the golf course. I was really rusty, missing shots and hitting the balls all over the places as expected, since I've not had a game for almost 2 years. To date, I've already played 4 games, and improving my swings and shots with each game. The outdoor and lush greenery is good for me and really uplifted my spirit - if only the score can come down more quickly to enjoy the game more...... I'd to get new golf shoes, though, since all my old shoes were rotten and hardened through long disuse. There were some aches and slight cramps on both legs immediately after each game but it usually recovered the following day. This is probably muscle aches owing to lack of prolonged exercise rather than any problem with the knee itself. As a precaution, I wore knee guards for the game and make sure I take my glucosamine tablets conscientiously everyday.
Generally, the operated knee is trouble free, but I still do not feel fully recovered yet. I still experience dull pain once in a while. After prolonged sitting, I sometimes feel some pain when straightening the leg, and have to massage the knee a bit before it can support the full body weight when walking. This is probably the final stage of recovery, as warned by the doctor as full recovery can take as long as 3 years or more.
