This was all due to me sustaining 'bone bruising' during the operation, don't know how this occurred but it did. What to do? I had to do something to try and speed up the healing process, so I tried a physiotherapist. Normally I stay away from physios as past history told me there is no end in sight to how many times they want you to come back to fit the problem. The physio I saw at Blackwood done what he called a 'dry needling' technique, which to me translated as acupuncture but he begged to differ.

The receptionist was apologetic and admitted her error then offered another time at 6.30pm tonight or tomorrow. I was not pleased to say the least as she should have rung me to advise the mix up. I told her I would go to the opposition which I did so they missed out on my business and I will tell others what happened as I am a 'local'!
