Well today I hit the skies again. Turns out it was 7 months to the day since I last flew.

The idea today was just to get the feel for it again, and I did better than expected. Had the instructor next to me the whole time and not once did he have to take over. Landing was not the best, Gusting 20knots with a slight crosswind but it was a good test and I managed to get the plane back on the ground.


I cant stop smiling. Things are going well. After 2 knee operations (I really need a third though) and hitting that kangaroo I am getting along well. I also managed to ride 8km's on the pushbike yesterday with only minimal pain. Hopefully I can get back to my old regime of running 10k's every second day, I have put on about 20kg since I broke my leg initially and I am pretty keen to get it back off!
